“Red Dead Redemption 3” is a hotly anticipated title, but Rockstar Games, as usual, is keeping quiet about concrete information.
Red Dead Redemption 3 – Possible content and features
The rumor mill is bubbling and it seems as if “Red Dead Redemption 3” will once again focus on a huge, open game world. One of the key questions that many fans are asking is the setting and the time in which the game could take place.
- Setting: There are indications that the third part could be another prequel. One often mentioned candidate is Landon Ricketts, a legendary gunslinger who was already mentioned in “Red Dead Redemption,” as gamingbible reports. His career could be the focus, and there is speculation that parts of the game could possibly take place outside the USA.
- Improved interaction with NPCs: Rockstar has placed a lot of emphasis on realistic character interactions in the past. Red Dead Redemption 3 is expected to expand on this mechanic so that NPCs react dynamically to the player's actions. This means that decisions in the game could have far-reaching consequences – not only for the plot, but also for the game world and your reputation.
- More realistic horse mechanics: Horses will continue to be the main means of transport, but with even more realism. There are rumors that the behavior of horses will become more oriented towards care and training. A neglected horse may no longer be as reliable, while a well-cared-for animal remains faster and more robust.
Release and development status
The topic of release is particularly exciting for “Red Dead Redemption 3” because Rockstar traditionally invests a lot of time in the development of its games.
- Release time: Insiders currently believe that “Red Dead Redemption 3” will not be released before 2030. Rockstar is currently working primarily on “Grand Theft Auto 6”, which could delay the development of RDR3. However, the long development cycle can ensure that Rockstar is working towards a particularly satisfactory result, similar to the previous titles.
- Platforms: It is very likely that the title will be released for the current generation of consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X|S) as well as for PC. A release on future Nintendo consoles is not ruled out, although Rockstar has traditionally been less present on Nintendo platforms.
