One of Rockstar Games’ crown jewels has long been the Red Dead Redemption series. After experiencing the phenomenal success of Red Dead Redemption 2, people can’t wait to hear news about a potential third part of the series. An official statement as to the company has not been made, but quite a lot of rumors, hints, and speculation have been given for our own ideas. Here’s everything we know so far about Red Dead Redemption 3 (RDR3).

When will Red Dead Redemption 3 come out?

Currently, there is no confirmed release date for Red Dead Redemption 3. Rockstar Games is heavily focused on the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto 6, which is expected to come out in 2025. Historically, Rockstar takes its time between major releases. It looks like RDR3 will only be released a few years after GTA 6.

Based on previous development cycles, we could see a release window between 2026 and 2030. This timeline would fit Rockstar’s pattern of spacing out their major games, as the gap between Red Dead Redemption, the first Red Dead game (2010), and Red Dead. Redemption 2 (2018) is eight years old. Given the advancement of gaming technology, development of the next game may take longer.

Is Red Dead Redemption 3 in Development?

Rockstar has not officially confirmed Red Dead Redemption 3. However, there are rumors that it will enter early development stages. Recently, claims started coming in from trusted social media sources claiming that the game is currently in production. This respectable account that has leaked it correctly in the past has an all-time high number of people.

Perhaps more critical of its prospects, Rockstar CEO Strauss Zelnick made disparaging comments at a 2023 conference stating that the Red Dead franchise still had a long way to go: “I would be disappointed if I thought it was the last. We had no intention of announcing it next year, but it makes me think that the Bond series is just as good when all is said and done.”

What is Red Dead Redemption 3 about?

Currently, there is no storyline for the game. Still, so many theories and rumors are floating around that we can all get a general idea of ​​what will happen in the next game.

Here are some of them:

The Jack Marston Story

One popular theory is that RDR3 may follow the story of Jack Marston, son of John Marston. At the end of the first game, Jack’s brief appearance hints at a possible continuation of his journey. Some felt that the film would cover Jack’s conflict with his father’s legacy, perhaps in the early years of the 20th century when modernization reinvented the Wild West.

Dutch Van Der Linde prequel

Some rumors surrounding the arrival of Red Dead Redemption 3 suggest that it may be a prequel, picking up on the early life of Dutch Van Der Linde and the history of his gang. So much so, it’s possible Dutch could be a charismatic leader in Red Dead Redemption 2 and connect with key characters like Arthur Morgan.

Landon Ricketts or Mac Chandler

Other options might revolve around Landon Ricketts’ life as Red Dead Redemption’s famed gunslinger or with Mac Chandler, whose existence is referenced but needs to be better explored in Red Dead Redemption 2. These lesser-known figures could develop new truths about the Wild West without sacrificing the series typical concept.

Where Will Red Dead Redemption 3 Take Place?

The setting for the upcoming film is also a matter of speculation. Previous games have taken players across the American border and into Mexico. It’s possible that the next Red Dead game could explore more of Mexico, as Red Dead Redemption 2 only touched on the region briefly.

The game would move further east or into other regions as the Wild West era came to an end. But what can fans expect from the expansive open world environments and stunning landscapes the series is known for?

Red Dead Redemption 3 Coming to Which Console?

When the game is released, it is expected to launch on the latest consoles, including PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. As with Red Dead Redemption 2, a PC version will likely follow. Given the long development timeline, it is also possible that the game could be released on a yet-to-be-announced future console.

Female Protagonists: A New Direction?

One of the most interesting rumors surrounding Red Dead Redemption 3 is that it may feature a female lead. The game will feature a female protagonist for the first time in the series. Despite the need, there’s certainly a lot of speculation, but many fans of the series would jump at the chance for a change.

The Long Wait for Red Dead Redemption 3

After all, Red Dead Redemption 3 is still far from becoming a reality. However, all the rumors and clues we gathered paint an interesting picture. The potential storyline could not only delve deeper into the world of Red Dead but would also pique the imagination of Rockstar fans about the path they take the series further.

It’s still years from its release date, but the desirability continues to grow with each passing day. There’s no doubt that RDR3 will leave a sequel mark on its predecessor. Fans will have to wait, but the wait will definitely be worth it.
