I Grand Theft Auto V revolutionerede Rockstar Games den måde singleplayer-spil fortalte historier på, for her kunne du skifte imellem tre karakterer når du ville. Nogle forventede at dette ville blive kutymen fremadrettet for studiet, men sådan er det ikke i det kommende Red Dead Redemption 2.
Man kunne have forestillet sig at hvis denne feature var med i det kommende spil, så var det blevet afsløret, men nuvel, Rockstars Josh Bass har bekræftet overfor Hollywood Reporter, at du kun spiller som Arthur Morgan i spillet.
"Sticking with a single character felt more appropriate for the structure and narrative of a western. Arthur lives with and fights alongside the other members of the Van der Linde gang, and they are a group of fully realized characters with relationships to each other and to Arthur, but this is Arthur's story and we are placing players firmly in Arthur's boots as he and the gang deal with a rapidly changing world. We think people will really love the feeling of being in the gang. It isn't like anything we've done before."
