Summary

  • A Red Dead Redemption 2 player discovers a deceased frozen couple huddling for warmth atop a mountain.
  • The morbid discovery is an amazing piece of environmental storytelling, which Rockstar excels at.
  • It seems as though there's no end to the number of hidden secrets in Red Dead Redemption 2.

A Red Dead Redemption 2 player online has made a morbid discovery in the game, finding it after an impressive seven playthroughs. Even with seven playthroughs under their belt, it's still surprising to see someone stumble across this Red Dead Redemption 2 secret.

Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2 is renowned for being filled to the brim with extremely small details, many of which will never be discovered by most players. At times, it borders on excessive, but discovering these tiny details is part of what makes the game so special. It makes players feel like they've found something unique to them and their playthrough of the game, which makes for the best memories with any title. Just recently, a Red Dead Redemption 2 player discovered a shocking detail about an in-game cult, and again, it's a detail that virtually no players will encounter throughout the average playthrough. These kinds of things are a big part of the reason the game remains so popular almost six years after its release.

Redditor HunchoP7 made the morbid discovery in Red Dead Redemption 2 while undergoing their seventh playthrough of the game. After noticing a corpse on their minimap on the mountain near Lake Isabella, they decided to investigate. HunchoP7 was shocked to find a deceased frozen couple, huddling for warmth in their final moments. It's a remarkable piece of environmental storytelling, and is just one of the reasons why Red Dead Redemption 2 is regarded as one of the best Rockstar games out there.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Morbid Mountain Discovery

Looking closer at the couple, they're actually holding the Panoramic Map, which can be collected to show a drawing of Mount Shann. If Mount Shann is visited at night, the Panoramic Map actually leads to the UFO Easter egg in Red Dead Redemption 2, so there's more to this frozen couple than initially meets the eye.

Although new secrets continue to be discovered in Red Dead Redemption 2, there's no doubt a huge audience already clamoring for a sequel to the game. Everyone has their own ideas about what a sequel might entail, although some believe that Red Dead Redemption 3 shouldn't be afraid of a clean slate in regards to its story. Still, there's Grand Theft Auto 6 to come first from Rockstar, so any sequel is likely some way away from being officially confirmed. Regardless of which direction Rockstar eventually takes the story, it's essential the studio includes the same attention to detail as it did in its most recent title.

America, 1899. The end of the wild west era has begun as lawmen hunt down the last remaining outlaw gangs. Those who will not surrender or succumb are killed. 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. From the creators of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America at the dawn of the modern age.
