‘Red Dead Redemption 3’ Might Stick With Popular Settings

Some factors that have contributed significantly to the game’s success have been a gripping narrative, historical accuracy, solid character development, and a strong sense of adventure. Since Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 have been highly successful, there is a lot of pressure on the publishers to ensure that Red Dead Redemption 3 lives up to the mammoth expectations fans have of it.

As per the discussion in the different gaming communities, many fans wish for the game to be set in unexplored territory. As per the fan’s demand, the location should be drastically different from the locations one has witnessed in the game.

The reason behind Rockstar wanting to set the game in familiar territory is quite simple. Red Dead Redemption is a top-rated franchise, and many fans would expect the third installment in the franchise to offer a sense of familiarity that would help them get comfortable with the game in a short time. If they make too many changes or introduce some elements that fans of the franchise have not been familiar with, it could alienate the game from its primary fan base.

While choosing a drastically different setting for Red Dead Redemption 3 might impress some fans, Rockstar is worried that it would make a large number of gamers challenging to identify with the game. Since 2010, the publisher has not experimented much with the settings of the games in this franchise. While this familiarity has worked for many, some fans believe in the game’s reinvention.
