Red Dead Redemption 3has not been officially announced at the time of this writing, and so fans should take any claims about the game with a grain of salt, but a reputable leaker says it’s in development. MyTimetoShineHello is known for accurately leaking movie details, revealing all kinds of information about MCU projects that turned out to be true. Some of their scoops have been inaccurate, but that could be more due to re-shoots than faulty information. MyTimetoShineHello isn’t known for their video game scoops, but if they are to be believed,Red Dead Redemption 3is “in the works.”
The record-breaking success that wasRed Dead Redemption 2has madeRed Dead Redemption 3seem like an inevitability, but fans should keep in mind that such a project could be many, many years away. Right now,Rockstar Games is busy working onGrand Theft Auto 6, which was first announced in February of last year. Rockstar has yet to reveal anything else aboutGrand Theft Auto 6beyond the fact that it’s in development, so one can only imagine how long the wait will be to see anything substantial aboutRed Dead Redemption 3.
Based on the latest information, it seems likely that theGrand Theft Auto 6release datewill fall somewhere in the April 2024 to March 2025 window. Being optimistic and assuming theGTA 6release date is sometime in 2024, that would mean it’s coming out a whopping six years afterRed Dead Redemption 3. That could mean it would be 2030 before fans seeRed Dead Redemption 3for themselves, and that’s assuming it’s Rockstar’s next game afterGTA 6.
Rumors have persisted thatRockstar may be working on a medieval fantasy gameof some kind, and if those rumors are true, the wait forRed Dead Redemption 3could be an even longer one. Time will tell, but for now, fans will just have to be satisfied with the knowledge that the game is potentially in development.
