it might sound stupid but
i know this is was probably already discussed here but, i just thought about how the next game might not be a “Redemption” one. Like, it might be a new story, new characters, new places, another entry to the “Red Dead” franchise like we have “Red Dead Revolver” and “Red Dead Redemption”. I feel like the “Redemption” entry is almost concluded and I don’t feel like Rockstar wants to go to the obvious way and show the Van Der Linde gang before the events of RDR2.
