Summary
Red Dead Redemption 2actor Roger Clark asserted thatRed Dead Redemption 3’s eventual release is a certainty. Clark also offered his thoughts on whether he thinks his character, Arthur Morgan, will be involved in the sequel.
Following therecent reveal ofGrand Theft Auto 6, some Rockstar fans wondered whether the company’s next game will beRed Dead Redemption 3. While the wild-west franchise doesn’t matchGrand Theft Auto’s massive popularity, it’s still one of the more recognizable game series and has a large, loyal following. WhileRed Dead Redemption 2’s conclusion seemed to wrap up the story of the Van der Linde gang, there are still plenty of storytelling opportunities within its universe.
Clark responded to a fan on Twitter, who asked him whether he thinks Arthur Morgan will be a part ofRed Dead Redemption 3’s story. Although Clark believesRed Dead Redemption 3’s eventual release is a certainty, he doesn’t think that Arthur will be involved, explaining that Arthur’s story has been fully told. Thanks to Clark’s acting and Rockstar’s writing, Arthur became a hugely popular character amongRed Dead Redemptionfans, so this news may come as a sobering disappointment to some.
SinceRed Dead Redemption 2’s conclusion, some fans have speculated that the third game should be a prequel to the second game, exploring the early years of the Van der Linde gang. While this is still possible, Clark seems to think that it’s unlikely, since this premise would certainly involve Arthur, who was a member of theVan der Linde gangduring its early years. Instead, Rockstar may look to tell a new story withinRed Dead’s universe.
More than five years after its release,Red Dead Redemption 2remains a popular and highly respected game. Following a sale on Steam last month,Red Dead Redemption 2broke its recordfor concurrent players on the platform.
Interestingly, Clark also gave his thoughts on the future ofGTA Online. AfterGrand Theft Auto 6’s release was confirmed for 2025, fans have wondered whetherGrand Theft Auto 5’s online mode would eventually be shut downto make room forGrand Theft Auto 6’s online mode. Clark believes that there’s no reason for this to happen. SinceGrand Theft Auto 5takes place in an entirely different city, and is also hugely popular, it would make sense for Rockstar to allow players to return to its online mode. However, only time will tell what Rockstar decides to do.
