Red Dead Redemption 2receivedrave reviews when it came out in 2018,but theÂRed Dead OnlineÂmode that released in the following yearhas been met with some dissatisfaction. However, that dissatisfaction might be turning to excitement soon with the most recent leak for the nextÂRed Dead OnlineÂupdate.YouTube channel Red Dead Guideshas discovered 48 zombie character models in the game’s files that are linked to a limited-time Halloween event.
The video shows off 29 male zombie variants and 19 female variants as well as audio files linked to a game mode titled “fear of us” discovered by
Mentions in the DLC audio files of music for something called FEAR OF US/FOA, possibly the name of a limited time gamemode for Halloween. Similar name to last year’s one.pic.twitter.com/tYexbieofv

The characters don’t look too scary when they’re put in the light though. In the midsection of the video, they’re shown standing shoulder to shoulder during the daylight and they look pretty tame as far as zombies go. In fact, other than their gray, sickly-looking skin, matted hair, and sunken eyes, they don’t look so bad.
It’s unclear right now what exactly the update will be, but if a zombie mode is coming, hopefully, it will be met with the same praise thatRed Dead Redemption: Undead NightmareÂreceived back in 2010 when it released.
If the update has a story worthy of theÂRed Deadname, then fans will most likely be pleased. However, since the update is forRed Dead Onlineand not the baseÂRed Dead Redemption 2, it’s unclear how much story content would be added.
Additionally, if it’s truly a limited-time event then it might just be a new game mode or simply an update that turns most NPCs into zombies for the month of October and through Halloween.
