Rumor: New Red Dead Redemption 2 Update Could Be Coming Soon
A new Red Dead Redemption 2 update could potentially be in the pipeline, but fans should keep their expectations in check.
Reddit user Schmiddyboy88 shared their discovery on the Red Dead Redemption subreddit, discovering something related to the mystery of Princess IKZ. Outside of the saloon in Van Horn, players can find a missing person poster for Princess Isabeau Katharina Zinsmeister of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Visiting the Fence in Van Horn saw the player find a chest within the shop, bearing the initials "IKZ" on the front. The user speculated that the Fence could somehow be involved with the mystery, either selling the stolen chest or somehow being connected to the disappearance.

Princess Isabeau's disappearance serves as one of Red Dead Redemption 2's longest-lasting mysteries, with no resolution reached after more than five years. The existence of the missing person poster suggests that Red Dead Redemption 2 initially had more planned for the missing princess. Some users confirmed that the quest was part of Red Dead Redemption 2's cut content, with a model for Isabeau existing within the files for the game. Fans also pointed out that the chest bears the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
The new discovery in the Red Dead mystery comes as many fans have speculated about the future of the beloved cowboy franchise. Following the reveal of Grand Theft Auto 6, fans have theorized that a potential Red Dead Redemption 3 is still a long way out. Actor Roger Clark, who portrayed Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2, also confirmed that he is "certain" a third game will become a reality, following the success of the second game. Until Red Dead 3's release, fans will likely continue to discover even more about Red Dead Redemption 2.
