Red Dead Redemption 3: 10 Predictions For The Story

10. Jack Marston

The last we saw Jack, he had just exacted his revenge and killed Edgar Ross on a riverbank in Mexico. While it was oh-so satisfying, it represented something truly tragic: Jack just threw away the clean, peaceful life that John - and Arthur - died to give him.

Will Red Dead Redemption 3 be about an adult Jack, potentially in the Prohibition era? Probably not. Don't get me wrong: that'd be amazing. WhatCulture's very own Comics Editor Ewan Paterson has speculated about that very possibility. It's just that at that point, it wouldn't be much of a Western.

But there's this little caveat: Red Dead Redemption 2 was barely a Western, itself.

A hefty portion of the game was set in Lemoyne, which is essentially a stand-in for Louisiana. Traditionally, Louisiana isn't a "Western" location. It's not in the American West, at all - it's in the Deep South. Then you have Roanoke Ridge, which is more reminiscent of Eastern Appalachian states like Kentucky and West Virginia than anything in the west.

Westerns aren't restricted to a certain era. Breaking Bad was technically a Western, after all. It's all about theme, location, and tone. So maybe we COULD see something with Jack in the 1930s, after all.
