10 Rumoured Video Games That Could Still Be Announced In 2016

8. Red Dead 3

If it feels like we've been waiting for what seems like a millennium for a sequel/prequel/whatever to Red Dead Redemption, it's because we have. No, seriously. It's been six years since we first encountered John Marston, and honestly, I'm beginning to develop withdrawal symptoms.

Obviously we've had two absolute stunners from Rockstar in the years since (L.A. Noire and Grand Theft Auto V), but the relative quiet surrounding Red Dead's inevitable next entry has been disconcerting to say the least.

Yeah, yeah, Rockstar love their secrecy when it comes to announcing new projects (I wouldn't be surprised if they relayed developmental plans through self-destructive letters, to be honest), and it's hard to deny that it's a winning strategy, but come now, they've got to give us something soon; at least once we're all done and dusted with Mafia III (which, by the way, is shaping up to be something rather special).

I appreciate those GTA Online updates as much as the next guy, but what we need right now is a solid confirmation that Red Dead is coming our way in the near future.

I mean, could you imagine it?

Red Dead online with all the best bits of GTA's online component? Sans the opulent in game price-tags of course, but still, if Rockstar were set to announce something at E3, don't be surprised if something new comes along before the year's end.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
