Okay, so I’ve been seeing this question everywhere lately: “When is Red Dead Redemption 3 coming out?” Seriously, it’s all over the forums, Reddit, you name it. So, I decided to do some digging myself, just to see if there was anything new, any little crumb of info.
First, I scoured the usual suspects – Rockstar’s official website, their social media, you know, the typical places. Nada. Zilch. Nothing but tumbleweeds. Business as usual, mostly focusing on GTA Online and some anniversary stuff for the older Red Dead games.

Then, I dove into the gaming news sites. IGN, GameSpot, Kotaku… the whole gang. I read through countless articles, looking for even the slightest hint. Most of them were just rehashing the same old stuff: that Red Dead Redemption 2 was a massive hit, that Rockstar takes their sweet time with sequels, and that we’re probably years away from anything concrete.
- Checked Rockstar’s official channels: Nothing.
- Scoured major gaming news outlets: Mostly speculation.
Next, I hit up the forums. Places like Reddit’s r/reddeadredemption and some dedicated fan forums. Let me tell you, the speculation there is wild. People are analyzing every tiny detail in Red Dead Redemption 2, looking for clues about a potential sequel. Some theories are pretty out there, others… well, they make you think a little.
I spent a good few hours just reading through different threads. Some folks are convinced that Jack Marston’s story will continue. Others are hoping for a prequel, maybe focusing on a younger Dutch van der Linde. There’s even talk of a completely new protagonist in a different setting. It’s all over the place!
My takeaway, after all this “research”?
Honestly? We just don’t know. Rockstar is notoriously tight-lipped about their projects. They’re masters of building hype and keeping things under wraps until they’re ready to reveal something. It’s frustrating, I know, but it’s also part of what makes their games so exciting when they finally do drop.
So,I do my research and my conculution is:Red Dead Redemption 3 is not coming soon.
For now, all we can do is wait, speculate, and maybe replay Red Dead Redemption 2 for the hundredth time. And hey, that’s not such a bad thing, right?
