Debatable Setting: Where Will Red Dead Redemption 3 Take Place?
A potential sequel to the iconic franchise, Red Dead Redemption 3, has been a subject of rumors and speculation following the release of its predecessor in 2018.
However, the lingering question is where the narrative of this third installment will take its direction given the intertwined and thorough stories of RDR2 and the original RDR.
Should Red Dead Redemption 3 decide to continue the saga of the past two games, there is a significant unresolved issue that the game’s storyline must ultimately confront.
Many have speculated that the third installment will follow the events of the 2010 Red Dead Redemption with Jack Marston taking on the leading role, offering the perfect opportunity to address Abigail Marston’s death.
The genuine debate over the setting of the third installment is an ongoing issue, given that the franchise has already explored the end of the Wild West era.
This transitional period was pivotal to the themes in the first two games, and moving further back in time might diminish the narrative impact that its predecessors possessed.
Jack Marston: The Likely Protagonist and His Role in RDR3
A compelling argument suggests that Red Dead Redemption 3 should progress forward in time with Jack Marston as the titular protagonist.
Jack’s character was introduced in the epilogue of the first entry, unfortunately finding himself in the same life of outlaws that his family had fought to escape.
Expanding on this aspect of Jack’s character in RDR3 would offer greater depth and could delve into his experiences during the First World War and the organized gun crime of the 1920s.
In embracing Jack’s narrative, Red Dead Redemption 3 needs to address the unanswered questions from the first two games, particularly those surrounding the death of his mother, Abigail Marston.
Abigail Marston’s Fate: The Need for Closure in Red Dead Redemption 3
While the journey of Jack’s father, John Marston, is extensively told across the franchise, pivotal events concerning Abigail remain unexplored.
The game’s epilogue briefly fast-forwards to 1914, revealing Abigail’s burial next to John, having passed away shortly before the epilogue begins.
The exact circumstances of Abigail Marston‘s death remain shrouded in mystery, leaving much to be desired for fans. Given Abigail’s significant role in the franchise, it seems only fitting that her legacy deserves closure in any future installments.
Red Dead Redemption 3, if indeed developed, would need to address this unresolved aspect of the narrative, even if through a simple conversation about Abigail’s passing.
While Rockstar has not officially confirmed the development of a third entry, there is widespread anticipation that this could be the studio’s flagship project after Grand Theft Auto 6.
