Five years since its launch, Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 continues to maintain its appeal, a testament to its engaging content and enduring gameplay. Thanks to an array of innovative mods that deliver new content and enhance graphics, the game has aged gracefully, despite not receiving an official new-gen update.
While Rockstar Games has yet to express any intention of adding single-player DLC to Red Dead Redemption 2, the fan community remains active and imaginative. A fan-made DLC trailer has recently emerged, proposing an intriguing question: What if the notorious serial killer Jack the Ripper came to Saint Denis in the game? Considering that Jack the Ripper was active in London in 1888 and Red Dead Redemption 2 takes place in 1899, the timelines could indeed intersect, creating an interesting twist.
This captivating DLC concept was created by a fan who goes by the name Red Dead Dreams. Inspired by Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s Ripper DLC, they developed a trailer using all in-game footage from Red Dead Redemption 2’s Saint Denis City, captured with the aid of a cinematic camera mod. The result is a compelling visual narrative that offers a glimpse into a potential crossover between history and the game’s western setting.
The trailer has drawn an overwhelmingly positive response from the fan community. Many have lauded the concept, expressing hopes that Rockstar Games might take it into consideration and transform it into reality. As one fan enthusiastically put it, “Rockstar Games needs to hire you so you can create gaming masterpieces like these! That’s how amazing this trailer is.” Despite this acclaim, the realization of such a project remains mere speculation at this point.
Meanwhile, Rockstar Games has its sights firmly set on a future project. Recent reports indicate that the studio’s current development focus is on GTA 6, the long-awaited sequel in the Grand Theft Auto franchise. Fans may be heartened to learn that this highly anticipated game could be hitting shelves as early as next year. As we await further updates from Rockstar Games, the creativity of the Red Dead Redemption 2 community continues to thrive, keeping the game’s spirit alive.
