As it will be set some years before the setting of the first game, it is unlikely that John Marston would be the main protagonist of “Red Dead Redemption 2.”
Latest reports have it that the upcoming game shall feature the story of legendary outlaw gunslinger Landon Ricketts.
Landon Ricketts was first introduced to gamers in the first “Red Dead Redemption” game, who is a legendary outlaw from the Old American West. He and his gunslinger exploits made him an iconic figure.
Gamers of “Red Dead Redemption” could very well remember that John Marston actually has high respect for Landon Ricketts, who only appeared in a handful of missions in the original game.
With the presence of Ricketts, players of “Red Dead Redemption 2” could actually make players live through some of the most famous exploits of the gunslinger, which were detailed in the first game.
The players could actually see what really happened during the famous battle between Ricketts and the Butcher Brothers, as well as the famous Blackwater Massacre.
Observers believe that it would be because of the Blackwater Massacre map leaked recently that “Red Dead Redemption 2” would have Landon Ricketts at the spotlight instead of Marston.
Blackwater Massacre, after all, is a turning point in Ricketts’ life where he was convinced to leave the life of a gunslinger.
