‘Red Dead Renegade’ is the Red Dead prequel we’ve been crying out for

Red Dead Redemption fans are desperate to know what the franchise’s future holds. For now, Rockstar Games’ sight appears to be set firmly on the upcomingGrand Theft Auto VI, but surely they’d be silly not to return to their former rootin’ tootin’ hit.

What might aRed Dead Redemption3look like? Well, that’s a question fans have been attempting to answer, with a recent mock-up capturing a fair bit of attention. The envisagedRed Dead Renegadeis the work of Reddit user mrdaiquiri and quickly garnered hundreds of upvotes. “Red Dead Renegadetakes place in 1876 and follows Clarence Lewis, a soldier with the United States 10th Cavalry Regiment who deserts after witnessing the brutality of a separate regiment and becomes the title’s renegade,” the userbegan.

It would be wrong to mentionGTA VIand then not provide the trailer to fawn over for the umpteenth time.

“This is probably one of the few ideas for another game in the series where I thought damn, that actually sounds pretty cool. Well done OP. Thanks for being original and not making the 10 millionth ‘This game should follow the gang leading up to Blackwater’ post,” Paul-Kerseyreplied, while sean_saves_the_worldadded, “Honestly, I’ve been saying for a while now. The series needs to ditch the outlaw turned down gooder trope and try something like you’ve described here with a morally good character becoming disillusioned and becoming dishonored, and the narrative would focus on buying into your newfound outlaw reputation or rise above it.”

It goes without saying that this is merely a fan idea. We have no idea whatRockstarplans to do with Red Dead Redemption, or even if the franchise has a future for that matter. As far as mock-up ideas go though, this is a good one. Who knows? Maybe we’ll return here in several years time and say, damn, mrdaiquiri was right on the money.
