Well, Rockstar clearly couldn’t resist one last round of cowboy chaos—zombies and all. Guess the wild west isn’t done being weird just yet.
Love that they’re leaning into the bizarre side of Red Dead; feels like a late-night campfire story come to life. Here’s hoping this isn’t the last strange tale they tell.
Rockstar really said 'just kidding' to winding down Red Dead Online updates, huh Love to see them throw in some zombie chaos—feels like Undead Nightmare’s spiritual successor sneaking in.
Between plague tales and bayou mysteries, this update’s got more weird west vibes than a Tarantino flick. Can’t wait to see if this is a one-off or a sign of bigger things coming.
