Red Dead Redemption 2's open-world features a host of explorable towns. Here's how every town ranks up and what players will find in them.

Redditor nihosehn shared their Red Dead Redemption 2 discovery after finding out that there are bees in the game. They're located high up in the trees, so it's very easy to miss them. In the series of images, they shot at the bee hive, although it doesn't seem like they chased the player. Another user in the thread reported that standing next to these hives does nothing. While some had seen bees in Red Dead Redemption 2 before, pointing out hives near Clemens Point, Horseshoe Overlook, Ring Neck Creek, and Elysian Pool, many other gamers were just as shocked as nihosehn to find they existed in the game.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Player Discovers Bees After Over Six Years

It's not a massive surprise to learn that many Red Dead Redemption 2 fans don't know bees exist in-game. The wildlife in Red Dead Redemption 2 is some of the most realistic in any game ever, depicting what is essentially an entire ecosystem. It's very easy to focus on other things and have something as small as bees pass by unnoticed. That's part of the joy of Red Dead Redemption 2, though - the closer players look, the more the game reveals.

It's a good thing that Red Dead Redemption 2 is still yielding new discoveries for players, as it could be a long time yet before a new entry in the series is released. Rockstar remains focused on developing Grand Theft Auto 6, which is currently planned for release later this year. Given that Red Dead Redemption 2 is still selling very well, it's difficult to imagine a sequel not coming at some point, but these things take time. While this is speculation, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that Red Dead Redemption 3 won't be released until the 2030s.

After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him.
