Red Dead Redemption 2 Shows It’s Time for Rockstar to Embrace a Bold New Concept

So, Red Dead Redemption 2, huh? It dropped in 2018, which feels like both yesterday and a lifetime ago. People can’t stop raving about it. I mean, Arthur Morgan’s journey? Talk about gripping. Living through the end of the Wild West with him, it’s like going back in time. The game’s packed with emotion but doesn’t skimp on fun. Seriously, sometimes I get so caught up in the story, and then bam, I’m suddenly chasing turkeys or something. Who does that?

Anyway, hidden under all this Wild West drama, there’s a load of Easter eggs. And not the chocolate kind. Think paranormal encounters. Spooky stuff just pops up – it’s a Rockstar thing. The recent “Strange Tales of the West” update in Red Dead Online? Pure campfire ghost story vibes. Rockstar clearly has a thing for the supernatural. They should just admit it and make a full-on ghost game already.

Ever think about how Rockstar’s been flirting with spooky content for ages? RDR1 had that Undead Nightmare DLC – cowboy vs. zombies. Can’t beat that atmosphere. Think of a western with a zombie twist. You’d expect more of that in RDR2, right? But nah, they didn’t go down that road. Hearing stories of cave-dwelling “devils” and Saint Denis vampires, you wonder why there’s no sequel. By the way, Rockstar? Still waiting on that.

Even Grand Theft Auto messes around with paranormal Easter eggs. Bigfoot sightings, UFOs, you name it. Kinda makes you wonder why a full-blown horror game hasn’t happened yet. Maybe they toyed with the idea once. Heard of “Z”? Nope? It was a Rockstar project that never saw the light. Supposedly set on some eerie Scottish island, but it got canned. Too dark, they said. But now? The world loves dark themes. It’s like an untapped genre goldmine for them.

Imagine Rockstar throwing their hat in the zombie ring today. With the humor and thrill they bring, a horror game could rival something like Zombieland. They’re sitting on potential magic, and I’m just here crossing my fingers they see it too. I suppose we’ll wait and see what they brew up next, but come on, let’s get spooky, Rockstar!
