Red Dead Redemption 2 devotees have been knee-deep in an in-game mystery that's only just been discovered a whole seven years after the blockbuster's original launch. But the sweeping puzzle – which sounds more like a cultish conspiracy – seems to have been somewhat of an open secret in the Rockstar Games' offices, according to one former developer. Red Dead Redemption 2 QA tester and current Remedy Entertainment dev Adam Butterworth recently threw a bone to the cowboys strapped into this wild easter egg hunt. "Absolutely wild people have found this," he tweeted recently, before recalling that Red Dead developers were once discussing this very same mystery while at the company. "I remember hearing about this and thinking it would never be discovered." Red Dead Redemption 2 players discover new easter egg after 7 years, and they're trying to figure it out before GTA 6 New Red Dead Redemption 2 mystery takes ominous turn with a previously unnoticed mountain carving After 15 years, Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser reveals the meaning behind Red Dead Redemption's Strange Man: "He's a manifestation of your shadow, your karma, the devil" So, yes, this is our first confirmation that the newly-unearthed mystery isn't just a wild goose chase and isn't simply the community making theories based on patterns. There's actually something going on. Red Dead Redemption 2 modders unveil "ambitious recreation of the Mexican territory from RDR1" that "stays true to the canon" of Rockstar's sequel – and it's basically "a full-fledged DLC."
