Fans of the Red Dead Redemption series are taking to the internet to share their favorite Easter eggs from the franchise. The Red Dead Redemption games are known for their beautiful settings, but Rockstar also enjoys throwing in Easter eggs for fans to hunt down and discover. There are even Easter eggs spread across multiple different Rockstar games, like a knife from the first Red Dead Redemption as a tattoo in Grand Theft Auto 5, and a family photo from RDR2 seen in GTA Online.
Reddit user Entire-Lawfulness883 asked fellow fans to share their favorite Easter eggs from across the series, and several different answers were given. For an example, Entire-Lawfulness883 shared Arthur Morgan's hunt for the vampire in Saint Denis. This prompted many replies talking about the different bizarre supernatural things that Arthur can stumble upon throughout the game. One user mentioned that Francis Sinclair, the time traveler and potential key to RDR3, was their choice because of how immersive his mission was and how much lore it explained for them. While Sinclair's time traveling is not explicitly confirmed in the game, it's very strongly implied, and given the other supernatural encounters in RDR2, it wouldn't even be that out of place.
The Hidden Secrets Of Red Dead Redemption
Other notable Easter eggs that players pointed out included the eerie donkey lady skeleton left on a ranch in RDR2, as well as the witch's hut, Viking altars, and pirate swords that can be found throughout the Red Dead Redemption franchise. Another Reddit user mentioned that their favorite Easter egg was RDR2's UFO, which Arthur comes across during his exploration. They also noted that this is one of the reasons they like the supernatural aspect of Red Dead Redemption and the Easter eggs that Rockstar put into the world. This spurred an interesting conversation about how much Arthur has seen, but kept to himself through the entirety of the game.
The discovery of a well-hidden easter egg can greatly heighten the experience for perceptive fans. When the Easter eggs span across all the games that the company makes, like Rockstar does with their titles, hunting these references down can become something that fans look forward to and specifically seek out. Some of the coolest Red Dead Redemption 2 Easter eggs are the ones that are callbacks to the original game and to the other series Rockstar makes.
With the hopes that Rockstar is working on Red Dead Redemption 3, fans can take the time to revisit the existing games in the series and find the Easter eggs they have yet to come across. The world is so vast and the Easter eggs so well-placed that some fans that have played through them multiple times could still have missed some of the hidden treasures mentioned in the Reddit thread. The Easter eggs alone add to the replayability of the Red Dead Redemption games, and many fans are likely looking forward to beginning the hunt all over again in whatever title Rockstar releases next.
