Rockstar Games recently announced Red Dead Redemption for PC, a decade after the release game and a release date of October, fans will once again see John Marston in action in high-res. While RDR 2 is a sequel released back in 2018, it actually is a prequel to the original game, which is why players see John Marston from the original game.

Both games feature different storylines and main characters, with Arthur Morgan being the protagonist of RDR2 and John Marston being the central character of the original Red Dead Redemption. However, since both games are connected, players take the role of John Marston in RDR2.

The RDR series has established itself as one of the best video game franchises. Those who have played both games seem to have already connected the dots and were quite impressed.

How does John Marston tie to RDR 2?

Since Red Dead Redemption 2 was the only game released on PC, it was the most commonly played game. Aside from, being a technical marvel that can still hold its own, the game was much deeper. Set in 1899 the story for RDR 2 takes place before the events of the original game.

Despite being a sequel, the game is actually a prequel, featuring six chapters and two epilogues. For the chapters, players take the role of Arthur Morgan. After players complete the story chapters, they will be able to play the epilogue, which is focused on John Marston and is the starting point of the original RDR.

The story of Red Dead Redemption takes place in 1911 and the confusion regarding him being a playable character arises as he dies at the end of the game. With the new original title released on PC, now can be a great time for players to explore the complete story of the game.
