Red Dead Redemption 2 is allegedly an motion game a couple of gun-slingin’ man named Arthur Morgan however to many people it’s change into an Old West simulator the place we are able to reside the straightforward life looking game and timber unbothered by society. Exploration is king in RDR2 however the one place we are able to’t discover is a spot we took with no consideration within the first Red Dead Redemption: Mexico.
If you evaluate the maps for Red Dead Redemption and its sequel, you’ll discover an enormous chunk of land lacking: every little thing south of the San Luis River that bisected the unique game. There’s no Mexico to be explored in Red Dead Redemption 2, nevertheless it looks like it might have been deliberate at one level.

As noticed by VG24/7, a dataminer on the GTA Forums has posted screenshots of fashions for acquainted Mexico places that they are saying have been dug out of the PS4 model. User VideoTech UK explains that the fashions they’ve discovered are for recognizable places like Chuparosa that existed within the unique Red Dead Redemption.
It’s essential to notice, as VideoTech does, that these fashions (and textures) are all LOD high quality. They are low-detail fashions meant to be seen from a distance. If these places had been truly meant to be visited in game, they need to every have corresponding variations with extra element. It’s additionally of notice that VideoTech UK discovered these recordsdata within the launch model of RDR2 for PC4, not some latest patch. These fashions have been hidden within the game’s recordsdata all alongside and aren’t a latest addition that sign some imminent change.
So is Mexico going to get added to Red Dead Redemption 2, or what? Anything is feasible, however don’t maintain your breath. As some commenters have already identified within the discovery’s thread, it’s extra doubtless that these unearthed fashions level to content material that was minimize from the game, not one thing that can be revealed sooner or later. It’s completely attainable that RDR2 was initially going to incorporate every little thing on the Mexican aspect of the river however attributable to time, funds, or different scope considerations was pruned again from the game.
Another person factors out that this isn’t the primary discovery of hidden Mexican places in RDR2 both. Another participant has already managed to worm their manner via invisible obstacles into the Mexican aspect of the game. There isn’t a lot to be discovered there, apart from a partially-completed model of El Presidio. This new datamine, nevertheless, contains fashions which might be disabled in game, in contrast to the half-baked fort within the video.
I’ve fond recollections taking part in the unique Red Dead Redemption on-line with just a few buddies and El Presidio particularly was a favourite looking floor of ours. We had been capable of flip it into our personal on-demand horde mode by working in weapons blazing after which holing up within the fort defending towards all of the horse cops that confirmed as much as put us down. It could be neat to get a few of these places in correct 2020 fashion, however I gained’t be holding out for some grand reveal of Mexico coming to RDR2. We’ll need to proceed exploring and having fun with the US aspect of issues for now.
Following its PC debut on Rockstar and Epic’s retailer in November, Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming to Steam on Thursday forward of subsequent week’s Moonshiners Update.
