As far as gameplay is concerned, AnonDN1978 also revealed that “Red Dead Redemption 2” will be set 12 years prior to “Red Dead Redemption,” which really makes the upcoming video game a prequel.
He also disclosed 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.”
AnonDN1978 also disclosed that “Red Dead Redemption 2” shall have three additional playable characters. Accordingly, the first two characters will be Irish and Seth. Irish is said to be a bank teller from Kansas City while Seth is someone from Ireland who migrated to America.
The goal of the two main characters is to look for hidden treasures. Both characters will meet in Tumbleweed, Texas. The third character will apparently be created by the players, and will be a gun-for-hire of sorts.
