Game makers of GTA V, Rockstar, are speculated to set their the 2^nd Red Dead Redemption game in Japan which would reveal new game protagonist named Yojimbo, as inspired by the 1961 Akira Kurosawa movie.

"My source says that Rockstar is currently finalizing their plans for GTA V and are going to focus on RDR2 now," He says, "Rockstar expects the game to be out by October next year as long as the devs doesn't hit any roadblocks during development."

With that in mind, this new Red Dead Redemption game may not debut their trailer during the E3 convention in Los Angeles. No further information from Rockstar has been made public. Rockstar hasn't confirmed any of the speculations including the rumored plot change.

Further on, "As we've mentioned when asked in the past about new games in other series such as Red Dead Redemption, Bully and L.A. Noire, we don't always rush to make sequels, but that does not mean we won't get to them eventually." L.A. Noire was released in 2011 while Red Dead Redemption 1 was released in 2009, and Bully in 2006.
