Red Dead 2 sequel map and female protagonist concept sends fans wild

This detailed idea has been met with a lot of praise.

While the fans twiddle their thumbs for a new Red Dead Redemption from Rockstar Games, they're letting their imaginations run rampant with possibilities. Artificial intelligence gave it its best shot and then the community debated who would be the best character to continue on the epic series of games, and now, this map concept and accompanying storyline is causing a stir amongst players.

Previously, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick had said that Red Dead Redemption has the capability to truly endure as one of the most important pieces of media into the future. "I just saw the new Bond film, that was great. You would like every franchise to be James Bond. There are precious few entertainment franchises of any sort that fall into that category, but they do exist. And I think GTA is one of them, I think Red Dead is one of them," explained the executive. We would be inclined to agree as both games are influential not only to their players but to the industry as a whole. I mean, to really hammer this point home, Red Dead Redemption 2 is used in university courses as an exemplar to understand what the American Frontier was really like.

Alright, enough with the heavy-handed praise. Here's a bunch of people doing silly stuff in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online!

Rockstar Games is, of course, busy beavering away on the next Grand Theft Auto game and still fans are finding new things in the Van Der Linde odyssey and taking up the task of thinking where the series could turn. Reddit user RemnantHelmet dropped a splendidly detailed concept map titled "A True Western" onto the game's subreddit, featuring fictional geographies like Deseret, Coronado and Veranda alongside canon territories like Nuevo Paraíso and New Austin. Check it out:

Glorious, don't you agree? And just on the scale that we would expect to see from Rockstar Games' ambitious team. Not only did they supply the map, they even added a potential plot for Red Dead 4. That's numerically correct, they argue, due to the existence of Red Dead Revolver. "Being set farther West and farther back in time, this game would be even more focused on the frontier wilderness than past games with no major industrial/metropolitan centers like San Denis and much more desert," they said. "I would like to see a female protagonist starting out as a normal, honest citizen who at first takes to petty crime to help make ends meet but goes full outlaw after one too many setbacks. This would happen quickly, and the main narrative would focus on you building your own gang."

Recruits would be determinant in some instances, allowing different outcomes due to the different compositions of the potential gang, and they would come into contact with other more established groups in the area and tussle for supremacy. Not a half bad pitch I would argue.
