Crimson Useless Redemption 3 has been a subject for followers ever because the conclusion of RDR 2. Contemplating the franchise’s large success, the query for the sequel is extra of “when” as a substitute of “if.” The title’s predecessor was a well-received and culturally important launch throughout the gaming business. Regardless of being half a decade outdated, discovering new secrets and techniques throughout the sport will not be uncommon.
A threequel hasn’t been confirmed by Rockstar Video games but, however many are already interested by who they’ll see, the place it might go, and what it might entail. Given Rockstar’s eager eye for element, they’ll be challenged to dwell as much as Crimson Useless Redemption 2.
How the Story May Go
The Crimson Useless Redemption video games revolve across the Van der Linde gang—the three important protagonists—John Marston, his son Jack Marston, and Arthur Morgan. Within the earlier happenings of RDR, John and Arthur (spoiler alert) have met their demise, making Jack the one playable character who’s survived the ordeal to look sooner or later sport.
In Crimson Useless Redemption 2, Jack was kidnapped by the Bureau of Investigation, enemies of the Van der Linge gang. They kidnapped him and his mom, forcing John to seek out his allies. Jack was comparatively shielded from a lifetime of violence, because of John and his spouse Abigail, however when Edgar Ross—a Bureau agent—betrayed and killed his father, Jack wished to get revenge in RDR’s epilogue.
It’s comprehensible if we’d see Jack having points with the federal government after the betrayal and homicide of his father. This might doubtlessly type a considerable a part of his arc shifting ahead. In the event you paid consideration to what occurred in Crimson Useless Redemption’s 1914 epilogue, the USA was about to enter World Conflict I. With Congress passing the Selective Service Act, all individuals within the U.S. between the ages of 21 and 30 have been required to register for navy service. Jack would have been 22 by this time, making him eligible; nonetheless, given his mistrust for the federal government, he might not be part of willingly.
By the conclusion of Crimson Useless Redemption 2, Jack is a wished man after avenging his father. Between what occurred up to now and the horrors of going to conflict, it’s not an excessive amount of of a stretch to see that he might change into a radical determine within the story.
RDR 3 is At the moment Not on the Checklist of Priorities
At the moment, there’s no phrase on whether or not Rockstar Video games is engaged on Crimson Useless Redemption 3. We did get the disappointing information in 2022 that they allegedly stopped work on an RDR remaster. Retaining that in thoughts, shouldn’t that imply they managed to release some assets within the improvement groups? However it appears to be like like they’re specializing in different issues, particularly since Grand Theft Auto is getting its sixth iteration.
It’s a secure wager that Rockstar will ultimately work on the Crimson Useless Redemption 2 sequel in the event that they don’t have already got individuals going forward with pre-planning. Bear in mind, Crimson Useless Redemption 2 was developed in 8 years, so I’m not shocked if we additionally should very long time earlier than we get any necessary information or details about RDR 3.
Rockstar’s Promise
Whereas Rockstar hasn’t mentioned something about Crimson Useless Redemption 3, they did focus on the upcoming modifications to the synthetic intelligence of their video games.
Rockstar Video games promised the next modifications to their AI in a presentation:
- Machine studying approaches
- Higher parity between player-controlled and AI characters
- Enhance the standard of animals and people and responsiveness whereas decreasing manufacturing prices
It’s secure to imagine that these modifications can even discover their approach into RDR 3. It may not be huge information, however there are sufficient grounds for hypothesis.
The Launch Timeline Has Me Frightened
When Crimson Useless Redemption 2 was launched, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have been already 5 years outdated. Regardless of the consoles being midway by means of their lifespan, the sport churned hundreds of thousands of copies. However can the identical technique be repeated this time?
Ought to Crimson Useless Redemption 3 launch on an identical schedule, then we are able to anticipate it to be on retailer cabinets someday earlier than the tip of 2024. And that’s if Rockstar has the sport on their precedence record. Sadly, there’s no proof that they’re growing an RDR 2 sequel—given how they’ve allotted their efforts to GTA VI.
Because it stands, Crimson Useless Redemption 3 will not be on observe to fulfill the timeframes established by the earlier releases within the collection. Console generations are finicky, some lasting longer than others (taking a look at you, Nintendo). Whereas RDR 3’s eventual launch is all however assured, I can’t deny that the potential of it occurring on a present technology console will get much less possible with every day that passes.
Crimson Useless Redemption 3 is Nonetheless Years Away
With Rockstar Video games completely targeted on the upcoming Grand Theft Auto sport, it’s no shock that Crimson Useless Redemption 3 might be eons away from manufacturing. We’re nonetheless years away from getting a teaser trailer—a lot much less for a launch date drop. By the point RDR 3 does get launched, the subsequent console technology might already be in manufacturing.
