Spooky Mod Transforms Arthur Morgan into a Vampiric Outlaw in Red Dead Redemption 2

A recent mod for Red Dead Redemption 2 introduces a haunting vampire version of the game's main character, Arthur Morgan, offering a tantalizing glimpse of what an Undead Nightmare DLC might look like in the game. The original Red Dead Redemption's zombie-themed DLC, Undead Nightmare, was a beloved addition to the game, blending the Wild West backdrop with supernatural elements. Instead of dealing with outlaws and gunslingers, players battled hordes of zombies. Now, a fan has reimagined Arthur Morgan in a manner befitting an Undead Nightmare expansion.

While Rockstar has not officially announced an Undead Nightmare 2, fans have long expressed their desire for a horror-themed expansion in Red Dead Redemption 2. The base game already features numerous supernatural elements and references, with players encountering vampires and UFOs during side missions. The game even includes an Easter egg that nods to the zombified protagonists from the original Undead Nightmare expansion, causing Arthur and John's appearances to change when descending a particular well. The modder has now given Arthur a vampiric makeover.

The "The Undead Outlaw" mod, uploaded by user TheKey32 on Nexus Mods, presents Arthur as a vampire. The mod transforms Arthur's skin into a paler complexion and gives him glowing red eyes, reflecting his newfound vampiric nature. Some screenshots from the mod showcase the visual effects of his vampiric transformation, including noticeable bloodstains on his suit. Additionally, the mod allows players to give Arthur white hair and a white beard, further enhancing his eerie appearance.

Although this new mod for Red Dead Redemption 2 provides a unique twist to the game's protagonist, it's not the first time fans have attempted to recreate the Undead Nightmare experience in the sequel. Previous mods, such as "Undead Nightmare 2 - Origins," aimed to transform the entire world of Red Dead Redemption 2 into an Undead Nightmare setting. This extensive mod not only introduces zombies as enemies but also includes aesthetic changes, like boarded-up windows and a menacing Blood Moon.

While an official Undead Nightmare 2 expansion remains uncertain, rumors have surfaced about the next installment in the popular cowboy franchise. A credible leaker recently claimed that Red Dead Redemption 3 is already in development, though a release date is likely far in the future. Details about the rumored Red Dead Redemption 3 game remain scarce, but the online component, Red Dead Online, received several new missions earlier this year. For many devoted Red Dead fans, a return to the style of the original Undead Nightmare expansion would be a highly anticipated event.
