Rockstar Games’ reported approach to Grand Theft Auto 6 may well suggest that a ‘Red Dead Redemption 3’ would look nothing like RDR1 and RDR2.
With a game as massive and popular as Red Dead Redemption 2, a sequel in Red Dead Redemption 3 it seems an inevitability. However, based on the little that has been reported about Grand Theft Auto 6, there is a good chance that RDR3 it would look nothing like the long narrative found in RDR1 and RDR2.
Of course, this cannot be confirmed until Rockstar Games starts marketing Grand Theft Auto 6 and it really confirms that it exists. Rockstar probably won’t save on its most popular franchise, but it seems to be approaching it differently from previous games.

Grand Theft Auto 6 development status
Crunch culture has been a big topic of discussion this year; in fact, it is a problem that constantly arises, but has not yet been solved. This year, The Last of Us 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 were the focus of this discussion. In fact, after Cyberpunk 2077launch of, GTA 6 the fans begged Rockstar to delay playing. After all, Rockstar has been mentioned in discussions of crunch culture before.
Although its impact remains to be seen, reports indicate that Grand Theft Auto 6 you will actually see an ‘incremental development’, which means that the game will start at a “moderate size” and will expand as the game progresses. There is the issue of the post-launch crunch, but it is possible that this approach allows much of that to be mitigated. In other words, Grand Theft Auto 6 it seems set to be released in parts, rather than a full game day. This is likely to leave someone’s jimmies, but if done well and especially for the betterment of the team, it’s something that can be good for a game like Grand Theft Auto 6.
Ideally, what this means is that the game is an entire game day, but whose story continues with the next big section and so on after launch. In fact, for a game like Grand Theft Auto where the story is told in robberies and crimes and so on, it makes a lot of sense. Cliffhangers, episodic approaches and more would work here as ways to connect one big thing to another until the end, probably with a ton of support there. GTA Online.
Red Dead Redemption 3 and Incremental Development
But, whenever Rockstar starts working on another RDR entry, there is a good chance that such an approach would harm the game more than help. There is no proof, of course, that there will never be a Red Dead Redemption 3, but Rockstar is unlikely to simply abandon the Wild West. However, where an incremental approach works for games like GTA 6, wouldn’t work for long stories like RDR.
Of course, very similar GTA 6, RDR it could be divided into sections and released over time, but the impact would be severely affected. GTA 6 it would be wild ride after wild ride, keeping players coming back for more. redemption of the red dead it has always been a slow burn, however, and is likely to be extinguished with this narrative. It would be as if each person John Marston hunts were the sections, thus delaying his eventual death and uniting with his family. It would be as if each movement between the camps was a section for Red Dead Redemption 2; as a result, a long narrative and slow emotional burns would lose their luster.
In fact, even Arthur Morgan actor Roger Clark thinks GTA 6the approach of makes stories like RDR2 less likely. The two games can be similar in many ways, both games may be the biggest franchises in the Rockstar repertoire, but RDR and GTA they are completely different beasts when it comes to storytelling. Therefore, whenever it is time for Rockstar to make the cowboy return, it will be interesting to see how the next entry in the franchise approaches.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is now available for PC, PS4, Stadia and Xbox One.
