Red Dead Online users have begun to encounter zombies during online multiplayer. The walking dead may be back, which has ignited all the alarms about a possible return of Undead Nightmare, the acclaimed expansion of the first Red Dead Redemption.
In the absence of an official confirmation of what may be a possible bug or a simple glitch in some specific NPCs, the detail of the modeling of these characters turning into a zombie and their particular clothing suggest that it is not a game error but the sign of something bigger. The number of players who have run into these bodies lying on the ground is increasing, as you can see in this Reddit thread. The points in common in all of them are always the same: yellow-lit eyes and rather pale skin. A fairly reliable description of a typical looking zombie.
As of this moment, Rockstar Games has not announced anything about a possible update to Red Dead Online where zombies are the antagonists. Seeing that Halloween is happening soon, this might be around the time Rockstar Games announces something.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game has sold more than 25 million units worldwide, becoming one of the greatest successes currently in the video game industry.
