Red Dead Redemption 2 was a masterpiece, but could a third game be even better, or should Rockstar quit while it’s ahead?
That’s the question of the mind of several Red Dead Redemption fans, as after GTA VI drops a Red Dead Redemption 3 would be the obvious choice for Rockstar’s next big project.
GTA VI launches later this year, but we still don’t have a new trailer

Back to Red Dead Redemption through what would Red Dead Redemption 3 even be about? Would it be another prequel? A sequel to the first game? A spin-off?
There are plenty of options but none of them stand out as the best move Rockstar could make, and many fans think it’s time to lay the series to rest.
In a Reddit thread by ADvar8714 fans were asked “How would you want the series to proceed?” with the two options being a sequel to Red Dead Revolver instead, or a spin-off with Jack Marston as the lead.
Now there were plenty of opinions on this but most said the series is officially finished, and it’d actually be a shame if it were to continue.
“Red Dead in an era of the world where there are no cowboys is the most baffling thing people always ask for. It's not an old west game if it's 1920. the whole point is that Jack is the end of everything” commented one fan.
Another added “I don't know if the series has anything more to say at this point … Maybe it's ok to let it end, and let its writers and designers tell new stories, with new themes and characters.”
Others suggested Rockstar make a game set during the true Wild West or the American Civil War, but obviously not touching on the characters and stories we’ve seen so far.
The possibilities are near-endless, and I think we can all trust Rockstar’s judgement in what to do next.
