WithRed Dead Redemption 2having launched to innumerablepositive reviews, it’s safe to presume that most gamers will be spending the first weekend of the game’s availability exploring what Rockstar has said is the largest and most detailed map it has ever created. With this being the case, fans of the open world action-adventure franchise will likely be singing the title’s praises for quite a while, and other IPs are sharing the love as well. As it so happens,The Walking Deadhas decided to celebrateRDR2’s release with a fun parody of the game’s promo art.
As seen in the image below, not only doesThe Walking Dead’s official Twitter account manage to acknowledgeRed Dead Redemption 2’s launch, but also it slyly manages to promote ninth season of the television show based on zombie apocalypse comic book of the same name. Instead ofRDR2’s protagonist Arthur Morgan in the still this time, though, it’sTWD’s lead character Rick Grimes in the flesh, pointing a revolver akin to Morgan in the game’s key promo art.
While the above image is surely just a bit of fun being had on behalf ofThe Walking Dead’s social media manager, it’s difficult to not have zombies andRed Dead Redemptionin the same thought without acknowledging the original game’sUndead Nightmareadd-on. The zombie-filled DLC was immensely popular withRed Dead Redemptionfans, so for the sake of players, one hopes that a similar horror story expansion comes toRDR2at some point in the future.
Of course, the Halloween season would be an ideal time to put out a piece of DLC akin toUndead NightmareforRed Dead Redemption 2, but considering the fact that Rockstar literally just released the base game today, it’s a safe bet to make that it will be a while before hearing about any official add-ons. Beyond the single player campaign, the only other content confirmed by Rockstar thus far isRed Dead Online, and its beta is coming in November for everyone who owns a copy ofRDR2.
Red Dead Redemption 2is available now for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
