Prequel isn’t really the best way to describe Red Dead Redemption 2.
Yes, events strictly take place before those of the last game – 1899, not 1911 – and yes, it features John Marston, to some extent, but the word ‘prequel’ isn’t right. It carries unwanted connotations. While it looks like we’ll discover the origin of those scars, this game isn’t about filling in the history of Marston, tracing back the origins of all his traits to some neat moment in the past. Read Dead 2 is aiming at a more complex and definitely more interesting relationship with its predecessor.
