Still, fans of the game were eventually rewarded with news that after six long years we finally know a Red Dead Redemption 2 is actually on its way.

Naturally, it didn’t take long for internet sleuths to start uncovering even more news like the fact that the game will be a prequel as well as a map that apparently crosses over between Red Dead Redemption 2 and Mafia 3.

Now, the latest discovery by Redditor BlueSaber80 involves which characters we will get to see in the game and, aww yeah, John Marston is back! And so are his “friends” Dutch and Bill.
No word yet on whether or not all three characters will be playable, but at least this time around it would seem that Mr. Marston might be on the wrong side of the law when he goes around killing everyone in sight.
