We've known this for a while now. Shortly prior to the release of Red Dead Redemption 2, Dan Houser stated Rockstar Games would be likely to develop another entry to the series depending on the success of the title.

The game was of course a resounding success, to put it mildly. So, aside from Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick recently echoing this sentiment in a general manner, this is really nothing new.

Of course, media outlets, YT channels, and social media figures would never pass up any opportunity to harvest clicks.

Wait a couple more years until more news drops. The main focus for Rockstar right now is getting GTA VI in 2024/2025.

I imagine RDR3 will be a similar case to RDR2's development where all subsidiaries of Rockstar are just merged into one company.

Good news for now but they could cancel it.

I doubt they’d cancel a new Red Dead game. Just be patient.

Can’t wait for us all in ten years to be like “Yeah Arthur was fine BUT THIS NEW GUY? Best RDR protagonist.”

@TTunion

"What do you mean I'm stuck playing as Arthur Morgan in the Epilogue???" 😫

I wonder if rdr3 is going to be another prequel to rdr2 like rdr2 was to rdr1. Or maybe it could be a totally new storyline like gta games.

That's great, until you remember pretty much all of the creative talent that made RDR2 such a good game is now long gone. GTA 6 will be a test to see how much the new people can handle a story like we expect.

Based off the last 5 years of Cockstars bullshit. I doubt GTA 6 and RDR3 will live up to the hype. And will show that Rockstar are no longer the Rockstars of the industry anymore. More like a decrepit rockstar in his 80s who still thinks he's in his prime, when in reality hes a shell of what he once was, and the golden years aren't coming back.

@WestVirginiaLoner God forbid you just let yourself be excited for something.

^ well let's see, why is it I'm not excited?

Let's look at the last 5 years:

The GTA shit edition that was so bad they cancelled the RDR1 and GTA 4 remaster

The abandonment of RDO

The absolute unholy shit state that GTA online is in

GTA+

Rockstar now taking content out of games and putting them behind a paywall

Not giving a fuck about their PC ports

The disappointing RDR1 port recently. Didn't even fucking put it on PC or PS5.

The ceaseless attacks on the modding community

Allowing hackers an modders to have a fuckin free for all on RDO and GTA online.

Abandoning DLC for RDR2

The creative talent that made Rockstar who they are, are now gone.

The laundry list of anti consumer practices just in the past 5 years

GTA 6 is pretty much all but confirmed to be some sort of live service fuckery. Im sure they'll find a way to milk the fuck outta that

Excuse me if I don't put on my rose tinted nostalgia goggles anymore with this piece of shit company. These games will be commerically successful, but critical failures.

You people told me I was just a negative fuck when I said the RDR1 port to switch and PS4 was just going to be a lazy port and not a remaster or remake

You people told me I was just being an asshole and the GTA bitch edition was going to be good.

You people told me they wasn't going to abandon RDO

Do I need to go on and list the 99999 times I've been right? This shit was company is so predictable at this point
