! The game will show us how John Marston got his facial scars
The third trailer for [=RDR2=] shows us a glimpse of [[http://cdn2us.denofgeek.com/sites/denofgeekus/files/styles/main_wide/public/2018/05/red-dead-redemption-2-john-marston.jpg a younger John Marston at knifepoint]]. With some facial wounds (that will later become his trademark scars) sporting what appear to be a set of tied-off medical sutures, this suggests that the wounds - while looking as though they've somewhat scarred over by the point in time that headlock takes place - were made relatively recently; perhaps recently enough for the game to show us how he got them?

*** In Redemption, John states that Landon was famous when he was still a kid, making this extremely unlikely.

! Morgan's beard will grow over time in regular gameplay
The previews imply that Rockstar is going for a very realistic portrayal of the wild west, such as more ways to interact with the world and people, and by making hunting more realistic. It'd make sense that Morgan, in addition to getting dirty over time, would slowly grow a beard or at least some stubble.

! This game will establish Edgar Ross was driven by revenge
The sharp-dressed man in the third trailer is related to him, is his best friend or something along those lines, but dies because of Dutch's gang's actions. Ross decides to exact revenge to every member of the gang, explaining why he had no problems betraying John, and maybe even adding an extra reason for shooting Dutch's body. The law enforcement let him get away with his revenge scheme since they were wanted criminals responsible for the death of a bureau agent.

[[WMG: The PlayableEpilogue will takes place in 1914 [[spoiler: again]]]]
Since the game doesn't take place too long before the first RDR (as proven by the existence of telephone) and the fact that Morgan probably [[DoomedByCanon won't live past the ending]], the epilogue will once again put the player in the shoes of [[spoiler: Jack Marston in 1914. Perhaps with a few side missions to show how what becomes of him after killing Edgar Ross.]] There aren't that many improvements in the wild west between a few years before 1906 and 1914, so they can make the TimeSkip without any major changes.

! The game will explain the John's arrival in the intro of the previous game
There was a lot of speculation over the opening cutscene where John arrives via ship, despite his residence being pretty near Blackwater. This game will explain what was up with that. Maybe he was sent to kill/capture Morgan overseas or in some other part of America.

"When the time comes, you gotta run and don't look back. This is over." Arthur, or alternatively someone else, is saying this to John Marston, shortly before the river boat incident where he is shot, as the speaker of said line knows something will go wrong and is warning Marston. "This is over" refers to how their gang is indeed coming to an end.

! We see John's daughter's death.
The first game mentioned a second Marston kid that passed away before the game started, probably from natural causes. Whatever the cause, I have a feeling R* is going to put us through a TearJerker.

! Morgan will be the one to leaves Marston behind.
Redemption states that Marston left the gang after being left for dead during a botched robbery. Morgan will either abandon him for failing or tries to help him before escaping, but I'm pretty sure R* wants to make the player feel like an asshole. Another option could be that the extremely loyal Morgan severs his connections with Dutch for not showing the same loyalty to his men, resulting in a gang war that wipes Morgan out.

Morgan's almost guaranteed to not survive due to ForegoneConclusion, so when he dies, John takes over as the player character once again, just as Jack did for him in the first game.

** There are a number of ways that Morgan can easily survive the events of the game. He could have become a rat, and cut a deal with the US Government and gone into witness protection. Since Morgan came and betrayed his pals first, the Bureau went light on him, while choosing to make an example of John Marston. He could have faked his death, and taken a new identity after mysteriously disappearing.

! The game is a {{Prequel}} but it is also an {{Interquel}}
...''Outside Xbox'' theorized this first but I think it's worth adding. The game is set in the period between John Marston exiting the gang and the events of the first game. So the game will have a prologue where we play as John and see him being abandoned by the gang as in the backstory of the first game. The rest of the game will show how Dutch van der Linde's gang went FromBadToWorse. The epilogue will have Arthur Morgan meeting Jack Marston, shortly after John's death, and then becoming an EvilMentor to train him to get revenge on Edgar Ross.
