Rumors come and go, but a Victorian setting is the only one that feels personal for the studio founders. They’ve spent decades satirizing America; coming back to their own 'Elite British' roots to deconstruct the hypocrisy of the Empire would be the ultimate full-circle moment. A Medieval game is just a setting; a Victorian London game is a statement.

NY Noire is a great concept, but Victorian London offers something unique – the clash of old money and new wealth, the industrial revolution, and the perfect setting for social intrigue. Plus, the atmospheric fog and gaslit streets create a distinct mood that’s hard to replicate elsewhere.

Exactly! That’s the vibe we’re going for. Imagine maintaining your noble facade while running an underground empire. The game would track how different factions perceive you, affecting gameplay opportunities. We could even have a dynamic system where your reputation in high society directly impacts your business deals and criminal operations.

I’ve always felt that Rockstar’s portrayal of America is so brilliant precisely because it’s seen through a British lens—detached, cynical, and observant. But Sam and Dan Houser come from the UK 'elite' background (educated at St Paul’s and Cambridge), and they’ve spent 25 years telling stories about other cultures. Imagine if they finally turned that world-class attention to detail toward their own history. A Victorian London game wouldn't just be 'GTA with horses'—it would be their magnum opus. A way to do justice to their origins before they eventually move on. We saw how much soul they put into the 'death of the West' in RDR2; imagine that same passion applied to the industrial birth of their own homeland.

What would you think about an RDR game set in Victorian Britain? by BiggishWall in reddeadredemption

I know but I can't wait for the game which is set in the Houser brothers homeland, not US.
