Red Dead Redemption 3’s most likely protagonist is a divisive one

Red Dead Redemption 3may not have been confirmed just yet but with Rockstar liking to keep us on our toes, we hope it won’t be long before it surprises us with an announcement.

With John Marston being our guide throughRed Dead Redemptionand Arthur Morgan taking on the role of our protagonist inRed Dead Redemption 2,it will be difficult to find another character who can capture the player’s hearts as much as they did.

Check out the launch trailer forRed Dead Redemption 2below!

However, with fans believing that we may already have our protagonist forRed Dead Redemption 3,the potential choice has caused some division between the fan base.

So who could we be stepping into the shoes of for the nextRockstar Gamesentry?

None other than Jack Marston himself, according to many fans.

However, not everybody is convinced and fans took to r/reddeadredemption to share their thoughts.

“What do you think about Jack as a protagonist?” one recent postreads.

“I’m replayingRDR1and my goal was to speedrun the main story to play all side missions as Jack, so I could learn more of him as an adult gunslinger. He makes so much more sense after playingRDR2but I still want to know more.”

“Playing as Jack is just a sad memory of what used to be,” the top commentlamented.

“When playing as Arthur after a long day, I go back to camp, greet a few people, and go to bed. Then, I wake up, drink some coffee, antagonise Micah, and head out. As John, I come back to Beecher’s, do house stuff, and call it a night. It may not seem like a big part of your gameplay, (after all, they are just NPCs) but as soon as you play as Jack, YOU HAVE NO ONE TO GO BACK TO.”

Anothersaid: “He was great in the epilogue but if the RDR story is to continue, it shouldn’t follow Jack.”

Whatever happens, I’m sure Rockstar will cook up something good.
