Another unreleased potential project that has been the subject of leaks time and again is the fabled story expansion of GTA 5. This is different from the other options as it started out as much more than a rumor. An official post on the Rockstar Newswire confirmed that the tale of Trevor, Franklin and Michael would be continued in single-player DLC. Well, we're still waiting.
That said, the topic of why story DLC won't really be coming has been run into the ground. With the popularity of GTA Online, it makes much more sense from a business standpoint to funnel resources into creating more free DLC packs for it to generate microtransaction sales, instead of making a massive investment into SP DLC which only a fraction of the community will buy. That said, the demand is still overwhelming.
However, it seems the community is less interested in further adventures with the trio of the main story and would prefer wreaking havoc on the HD version of Los Santos with either returning characters from previous games, or entirely new faces made specifically for the given DLC.
The third option on the list actually seems the most likely to be made based on the E3 hype-train they had going that ending up amounting to nothing, followed by an unconfirmed report that a national tragedy resulted in the last minute cancellation of the first official reveal. Reveal of what, you ask? None other than Red Dead 3.
Now, if you've been looking at second grade sites scrounging for clicks, you might have gotten used to seeing "Red Dead Redemption 2" mentioned, however that is erroneous. Redemption was the second game in the Red Dead franchise, preceded by Revolver. As such, if the open-world wild-west "Grand Theft Horse" franchise does get a new game, it should technically be referred to as Red Dead 3 until we learn the official subtitle.
While GTA may be the most popular and successful franchise made by Rockstar Games, after three years of doing nothing but, the fans might be hungry for a change of scenery. RDR recently made a splash by becoming officially backwards compatible on the Xbox One and breaking sales records instantly.
There we have the contenders. The three most-wanted "next steps" from Rockstar Games. But which one is the most-wanted? That is what we are here to find out. The poll attached to the article will be open for two weeks, after which we will post an article on the 21st describing the results, and what this might mean for the future.
