Red Dead Redemption 2: 10 Leaked Gameplay Details You Need To Know

6. Story Has Branching Paths Based On Decisions & Chosen Playable Character

So, we know the destination; how the story is going to end (with Morgan dead or otherwise excommunicated, being he's never mentioned again in the canon), but what about the journey?

It seems Rockstar are aware of how much a prequel story can feel like a foregone conclusion with very little stakes, and to remedy that, we'll be getting a series of "moral decisions" across the story, alongside branching pathways that dovetail off, depending on who you're playing as.

Go back to the first trailer and you'll spot a young John Marston being recruited into the Van Der Linde gang, almost by force. Could this be how the game juggles a handful of stories at once, if the prior point about twin protagonists was wrong?

Regardless, we have more characters than ever on offer, if Rockstar have built on their tech from GTA V, it could mean we're hopping between the entire Van der Linde gang, playing out a number of story threads all at once.
