It’s been a while sinceRed Dead Redemption 2was released and fans are, understandably, wanting more from the Wild West franchise from Rockstar Games.
While we have no concrete information onRed Dead Redemption 3, you can’t help but thinkRockstar Gameswill return to the franchise once the dust settles onGTA VI.
PC players were recently treated to the originalRed Dead Redemptionand its stellar DLC.
While we wait, conversation about the protagonist for a third game has been happeningover on Reddit, with one user posing a simple question.

“Would you like it ifRed Dead Redemption 3took place in the past, and you played as Arthur again, but this time in his younger version?”
Arthur is a fan favourite and while some would love to see him again, it seems as if the community is against treading over old ground.
“No. New characters. New time,”saysDragonDon1.

There are other ideas from players, like this one from Witty-Ad5743,who said, “If we’re going that route with it, let’s make it interesting and have Dutch or Hosea be the player character. Show us how the gang got where it did.”
Enthusiasm for the idea is slim throughout the discussion,with one fan pointing outthat “a lot of people don’t getRDR2IS the backstory.”
While it’s always nice to pine after your favourite character and want to see more of them, it could end up hurting the franchise, or indeed the character’s arc.
Asthis user puts it, “Yeah, to be honest I think the gang’s story is done. There’s a lot more potential with a new story.”

This isn’t to say that fans wouldn’t enjoy a small cameo, perhaps running into Arthur for one mission, if indeed the times overlap.
But, we’ll have to wait on Rockstar Games to see if they even return to the Wild West.
