Unless you've kept yourself away from any device sporting network connectivity for the past two days, chances are you've heard of the unexpected news that has exploded onto the internet, sweeping through pretty much every gaming news site, community and social media.
While words have not been said, a pair of images plastered all over Rockstar's online presence that all but confirm Red Dead 3 coming soon.
It all began yesterday when Rockstar Games changed their profile picture on all official social media accounts to a red logo on a black background. After this, they shared an image everywhere of the inverse — a red splattered background with a worn black logo. Instantly, pretty much everyone took it as confirmation of a new Red Dead game, and they're most likely right.
Of course, jokes came pouring in as well. Some were saying that maybe it's just a prank, and Rockstar will soon announce a wild-west themed GTA Online DLC with some new weapons, outfits and horses. Others theorized that maybe it isn't a new game at all, but rather the long-awaited PC port of Red Dead Redemption released in 2010.
Of course, most people are hoping that its a trinity of games: a PC port of RDR, a remastered version for current gen consoles and the next installment, RD3. While the second image Rockstar released doesn't rule out a remaster or a PC port necessarily, it seemingly confirms that we're looking at a new game all together (unless they really do pull off a GTA Online DLC prank...).
But before we continue, I can already hear comments being typed along the lines of "RD3? But 2 hasn't even been announced yet." or "It should be RDR2 not RD3". Well, actually, Red Dead Redemption was the second installment in the franchise, with Red Dead Revolver being the first, therefore a new Red Dead game will be the third. Funnily enough we write this in every single article about Red Dead and yet people still don't get it...
