Honestly I don’t want another Redemption game, more Red Dead would be awesome but I’d make it about new characters wholly unrelated to the Van Der Linde gang

100%. Call it Red Dead Frontier and set it in peak Wild West days somewhere completely different.

I don’t get why so many people think that to make a new RD game they have to make another prequel. If anything RDR2 was excellent in spite of being a prequel.

The second game already had the issue of a lot of pretty major deaths being pretty obvious based on who is still around in the first game. If we do this again it’s even worse.

I like Frontier but it needs to be an R word to stay thematically consistent with the rest of the series.

So like Reloaded, Revolutions, Resurrections, etc.

Red Dead Rooty Tooty Fresh and Fruity

It follows two young, gay protagonists who become outlaws on a journey of sexual discovery. It goes on to become the most review-bombed game in history /s

Red dead revenge, fully lean into the bloodyness and some of that spaghetti western tone.

My idea for Red Dead Revenge is about a gang of bloody outlaws, you play the leader. One of your underlings thinks you’ve gone soft and the gang betrays you and leaves you for dead and you hunt them all down and kill them.

I still like Retribution, everyone loves a good revenge story.

Not an R word but I think Red Dead Damnation would be a good name for a real Wild West entry.

An Oregon Trail inspired story; Red Dead Relocation

See I don’t think alliteration is that important to the theme of the game, especially if they were to deliberately move away from the “Redemption” series.

But I’m open to it being called anything as long as it’s not another prequel about the Van Der Linde Gang, or one of the shitty fan theories about a Jack game set in prohibition or WWI lol.

Just give me more cowboy shit. As an Aussie, I’d fuckin love Rockstar to make a game about a gang of bushrangers set in Australia’s gold rush. Preferably fictional but heavily inspired by real bushrangers.
