Red Dead Redemption 3 Release Date: Sooner Than Expected?

It's either GTA 6 or Red Dead Redemption 3, the two games everyone wishes to have in their hands already. But when will we finally be able to play RDR3?

[Update, May 18, 2022]

Not much has happened here, unfortunately. News on Red Dead Redemption 3 have still been the same... which is zero. Rockstar is having other priorities right now, like making sure GTA Online survives and letting Red Dead Online die (lol), while also working hard on multiple remasters of their games, and, obviously, GTA 6.

But let's make one thing very clear.

Will There Be A Red Dead Redemption 3?

Yes, Red Dead Redemption 3 is coming. All those leaks talk about release dates, about possible stories and game characters, but the result of these answers is the same: Red Dead Redemption 3 will come. It has to. Otherwise, Rockstar would let go of one of their most important franchises ever created.

After all, Red Dead Redemption 2 sold over 40 million times, while Red Ded Redemption even managed to surpass 60 million sales.

They would never let go of that, guys, let's be real.

Rockstar Games is probably one of the most looked at company in the last couple of months. Sure, CDPR has had their fails, but everyone is looking at Rockstar for an entirely different reason (or maybe not, the GTA remake sucked, after all).

Everyone wants news about GTA 6, about GTA remakes about Red Dead Redemption remakes and about Red Dead Redemption 3. We are amongst those people. And one of the most asked question in regard to RDR3 is: when will Red Dead Redemption 3 release?

A good question, and one that unfortuntely doesn't have an answer just yet, but we've had enough leaks about the other Rockstar Games that we can give you an estimate.

What's The Red Dead Redemption 3 Release Date?

Rockstar Games is currently working on GTA 6 and a (possible) GTA IV & RDR remaster. A lot going on in the company. So when are these games releasing? (Keep in mind that none of these are confirmed, these release dates are all leaks).

With this information in mind, we can already make a few guesses, but luckily we don't have to do it alone. Thanks to Twitter and numerous data miners and leakers, we get to hear new rumors almost daily, many of which have already proven to be true. The latest one comes from Profesör Türkmen on Twitter:

According to this tweet, the game is supposed to be released in 2026, but there is a possibility that it will be moved to 2025. However, there is no mention of why the game might be released even earlier. Since Red Dead Redemption is such an important franchise for Rockstar Games, we rather assume that they will take the necessary time and not release the game prematurely.

If we finally get official news about Red Dead Redemption 3 or its release date, we will of course update this article for you.
