The Red Dead Redemption series has been called one of the most legendary franchises in gaming, and Rockstar Games has done a really great job of depicting the rough and wild West of old America. With two games in, the fanbase is growing and everyone is wondering when the third game is coming. However, considering that a new Grand Theft Auto game is in the works, it seems unlikely that Red Dead Redemption 3 will be coming anytime soon.
The main character of Red Dead Redemption 3 could be Charles Smith!
In a Reddit thread with the username ‘reddeadredemptions’, the suggestion that Charles Smith could be the main character attracted a lot of attention. Users suggested that an in-depth exploration of Charles’ Native American roots and background would give the game a new and exciting perspective. A large portion of the audience argued that Western-themed games don’t often include such stories and that this could be a great opportunity.
“It would be great to see Charles when he was younger and learn how he connected with his family. I think exploring his history with his mother and father could be one of the strongest aspects of the game,” one user enthused.
However, it seems that this kind of storytelling could have its challenges. Rockstar needs to be careful, as the story of a Native American character could very easily become a target of criticism if misrepresented. Still, fans think that bringing a character as deep and well-rounded as Charles Smith to the lead role would be a great step forward.

Charles Smith was a favorite character of both players and Roger Clark (the voice of Arthur Morgan) in Red Dead Redemption 2. The son of a Native American mother and an African American father, Charles lost his mother at a young age, cut ties with his father and learned to survive in the wilderness on his own at the age of 13. He later joined the Van Der Linde gang and became a well-known character in the gaming world.
Fans want to see more of Charles’ deep past in Red Dead Redemption 3. Rockstar Games is known as a studio that usually listens to what fans want, so it’s likely that requests for Charles’ story will be taken into consideration. Now it remains to be seen what Rockstar will do!
