Reports also have it that based on the supposed plotline of “Red Dead Redemption 2,” it is not going to be a sequel but a prequel of “Red Dead Redemption.”

The information is actually based on a disclosure made also by AnonDN1978 saying that “Red Dead Redemption 2” will be set 12 years prior to “Red Dead Redemption,” which really makes the upcoming video game a prequel.

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, notes the Ecumenical News.

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.
