Summary
ARed Dead Redemption 2player online has created an amazing concept for a potentialUndead Nightmareexpansion, leaving many in the game’s community wishing it was real.Red Dead Redemption 2fans have been begging for the DLC to return in the sequel, but their calls have gone unanswered.
TheUndead Nightmareexpansion to the originalRed Dead Redemptionwas an enormous hit for Rockstar, putting protagonist John Marston into a zombie-infested Wild West. It was a complete change of pace to the main game, which many players appreciated. However, despite plenty ofRed Dead Redemption 2Undead NightmareEaster eggs, a new version for Rockstar’s sequel never materialized. Now, over five years sinceRed Dead Redemption 2was released, it seems almost impossible for a new version ofUndead Nightmare. However, , some fans are clearly still fascinated by what might have been.
Redditor danielgmal shared their incredible concept with theRed Dead Redemption 2community online, which includes a full outline of how the potential DLC would start, as well as detailed features of what the expansion would actually entail and how it would improve upon the original. Better yet, they have even used Midjourney AI to imagine what this might look like in practice, with some truly awesome results. Players have imagined in the pastwhat Arthur Morgan would look like inRed Dead Redemption 2 Undead Nightmare, but few have imagined the entire hypothetical expansion in detail.
Others in the thread made sure to share their frustration at Rockstar, for leaving money on the table by not creating anUndead NightmareforRed Dead Redemption 2. It’s certainly undeniable that the increased map size and new mechanics would make for some interesting moments, but there is one way to see what it might look like for real. A while back, aRed Dead Redemption 2mod addedUndead Nightmarezombiesto the game, and alongside fan concepts, this is likely the closest players will get to such an experience.
Naturally, any talk of a sequel toRed Dead Redemption 2will often be followed by the possibility ofUndead Nightmarereturning in the next game. Some even feel thatRed Dead Redemption 3should skip straight toUndead Nightmare, although this would be such a change of pace that it seems like an unlikely pipe dream. That said, with Rockstar skipping the concept inRed Dead Redemption 2, it’d certainly be nice to see it return in any future sequel. WithGrand Theft Auto 6first on Rockstar’s list of priorities, it’ll likely be some time before any realistic talk ofRed Dead Redemption 3- and by extension, a new Undead Nightmare - can begin.
