The Redditor also talked about several features of the game including a third playable and customizable character, purchasable safehouses, and a gang system that will enable a player to join various gangs or even ride with a posse of law enforcement officers.
AnonDN1978 claims that he was a former employee of Rockstar Games and that he hates his former boss at the game development company that is why he decided to spill the beans on the games ahead of an official announcement.
He was also the one who revealed that the official title of the upcoming game shall be “Red Dead Redemption 2: Legends of the West.” He also revealed that main protagonist John Marston in “Red Dead Redemption” will not be coming back in the next game, which makes some sense because “Red Dead Redemption 2” timeline is 12 years earlier.
If that is the case, then the previous rumors that Jack Marston, the son of John Marston, will be the main protagonist for “Red Dead Redemption 2” is not accurate at all because his character would just be too young if the game is set a dozen years before “Red Dead Redemption.”
Based on the kicker title of the game “Legends of the West,” it really makes sense if the upcoming game is to be a prequel since legends usually refer to people or things of the past.
