Rockstar is working on GTA 6 and their next big project is rumored to be Red Dead Redemption III, a game that will continue one of the most popular and successful franchises from developers from New York.

It’s just a rumor right now, but with the massive success of Red Dead Redemption II, it’s clear that Red Dead Redemption III will eventually become a realitythere’s no reason why Rockstar shouldn’t and wouldn’t want to take over the development of this title.

So the question is not if Rockstar is going to develop Red Dead Redemption III, but when it will and when it might hit the market. The studio is still immersed in the development of GTA 6, this game It’s your absolute priority and will continue to be so for some time after launch as it receives support and important updates to meet all expectations.

The arrival of GTA 6 is scheduled for sometime in 2025. There is currently no agreement, some information points to the first half of 2025 and others to the second half of this year. Both dates are valid as nothing has been confirmed by Rockstar yet, so we have to wait until we have official details.

Red Dead Redemption III could be a generational transition game

Not confirmed, but probably Red Dead Redemption III been in development for some time. It is very likely that it is in its early stages and that its development is still several years away.

While I can’t give you specific dates, we have two great options right now. The first is that it will be launched in 2028, right in the last part of the console life cycle of the current generation. If this were to become a reality, it would almost certainly be presented as a cross-gen game and could serve to showcase the advancements of the PS6 and Xbox Next compared to the current generation.

It wouldn’t be the first time Rockstar has used one of their games for this purpose, remember what happened back then GTA V, a title that was also a generational transition and it brought important improvements on a technical and graphical level in its version for PS4, Xbox One and PC.

The second possibility is that Red Dead Redemption III will arrive after 2028. In this case, the most logical thing is that it would be an exclusive title for the next generation of consoles, and that it would also serve as a game that demonstrates the power of the PS6 and Xbox Next. Red Dead Redemption II hit the market in October 2018, so development cycle between 10 and 12 years would be reasonable.

History and plot, will it be a prequel?

If you’ve played Red Dead Redemption II, you’re sure to ask yourself this question. The truth is that we cannot confirm anything other than the most reliable sources They hint that it will be a prequeland that they could reprise some of the franchise’s most beloved protagonists, such as John, Dutch, and Arthur.

There are many possibilities because a prequel could tells the events that happened from 1898 to 1899and it could also delve into themes like the Blackwater Massacre, which is precisely the event that lays the foundation for Red Dead Redemption II.

It’s also possible that Rockstar will choose go back to previous years and revive other characters who have already died in Red Dead Redemption II. The developer will have the final say, and as I told you, we’ll have to wait a few years to find out what approach they took.
