Speculation about a potential Red Dead Redemption 3 is never far away and the latest is about the game's setting, with gamers saying the same thing on a popular social media post. Red Dead Redemption follows Jack Marston as the main protagonist and is set in 1911 whereas Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel that centres on Arthur Morgan in 1899. There's a post in the RED DEAD REDEMPTION WORLD Facebook group about a potential RDR3 that's got a lot of people talking. The whole point of the Red Dead series is outlaws trying to outrun civilisation as they get near the end of the Wild West. Red Dead Redemption 3 has not been confirmed by Rockstar Games.
