Red Dead Redemption 2: 10 Ways Rockstar MUST Do Single Player DLC

10. Explain What Happened In Blackwater

Another massive possibility for the third (technically fourth but no one counts Red Dead Revolver) game in the series is that rather than forward with Sadie, they could go backwards, still with Arthur and John. The events of Blackwater inform most of Red Dead Redemption, but we only ever hear about it, and never quite get the full story.

If Rockstar can build the narrative around that and make the Blackwater job the finale, then there’s certainly enough intrigue for it to be an entire game on its own. Knowing the ending to a story makes it infinitely less interesting though, and two prequels in a row going further and further back will start to hit diminishing returns.

All character development from the two current games would be reset again, and while there’s intrigue, there likely isn’t enough content for a full game. As a DLC though, it seems tailor made.

Literally tailor made, in fact.

While Red Dead Redemption 2 hardly lacks for content, it feels like the Blackwater job is being deliberately kept in the shadows, as if to be explored later.

With solo DLC apparently off the table, it feels like a strange move.
