Although typically a serious series, the Red Dead Redemption games do have some odd, mysterious things going on, and some fans have been discussing some theories around some of their favorite ones. With the 2018 sequel going down as one of Rockstar's most powerful games in terms of story, the Wild West franchise continues to be a talking point for a lot of players. And that's understandable, because there's a lot going on in this fictional take on turn of the century America.
While the studio is now putting a lot of stock into finally finishing Grand Theft Auto 6, the developer's most recent releases are still getting a look in. For example, aside from having a dedicated community, Red Dead Redemption 2 recently got a sizeable update, which was surprising at the time seeing as a lot of people assumed anything that wasn't part of Grand Theft Auto was getting left behind. In any case, the RDR name is still on the lips of many, inspiring debates around all manner of subjects.
For example, a recent post on Reddit, as seen by GamesRadar, has got people thinking about their favorite Red Dead Redemption mystery. At the time of writing, the top comment is by user ThEhlem who refers to the town of Pleasance, a small settlement that has been abandoned and contains a series of tombstones. Another person talks about the "f**king scary" giant snake in RDR2. A comment says that this could be an Easter egg referencing The Jungle Book movie, while someone else says it could be a nod to a real life abandoned place in Ohio called "Helltown." There are also some whale bones in the sequel which have been mysteriously washed up on shore, though user Heartlesssigil says this is more common than people realize.
In any case, there are certainly plenty of mysteries in the Red Dead Redemption series to keep people talking. As mentioned above, the both games are usually quite sincere, which means any weird encounters that fans experience while playing are bound to stand out.
It will be interesting to see whether any more interesting Easter eggs turn up in a new entry. Of course, there's no confirmation on whether Red Dead Redemption 3 is in development yet, but no doubt many would love to see the continuation of the celebrated RDR name. Hopefully, Rockstar will at least give some details about the future of this franchise, but it's unlikely a follow-up will see the light of day until way after GTA 6.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
