It hasn’t been late July that Red Dead Redemption 2’s Red Dead Online was graced with a major update. The last being the addition of the Naturalist role which offered a new approach to the already available Bounty Hunter, Collector, and Trader play styles. Howbeit, fans feel it is due that more content is to come to the Five Counties as the game is now seeping into the fall and inching closer to the two year mark for the title.

Thankfully, dataminers seem to uncover a slew of unannounced assets for Red Dead Online recently. In a video uploaded by YouTuber Red Dead Guides, the recent upload discloses nearly fifty NPC skins of what looks to represent zombies for the game under an Army of Fear alias. However, how Rockstar Games plans to utilize these assets are still undisclosed for the time.

Reflecting on 2010’s Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare, the story expansion included variants of flesh-eating foes for you to outlive and survive during the Wild West. But with these new models offering more primitive appearances, it is suspected what is scheduled for Red Dead Online is simply a Halloween-focused event for the game.

Referenced in the video is Twitter user @MuzTuber who posted findings of the new audio files in the game’s source code back in July. The discovery lists Fear of Us for multiple tracks as well as FOA which might be linked to the ‘Army of Fear’ models.

Looking back to last October’s ‘Fear of the Dark’ game mode that was featured for the season then could also play a large role in this as well. Gathered from the titling of the previous seasonal event could be expanded upon using the “Fear” titling for the new, unannounced event that is speculated to make its waves into Red Dead Online in the approaching weeks.

Given that these new discoveries do hold some tangible evidence suggesting a new event is underway, take what was found with little truth until properly unveiled by Rockstar Games. Ultimately, this could be a simple change to the map with no major altering to the game’s world – i.e. snow during the holiday’s in GTA Online – or perhaps to a similar degree for the Red Dead Redemption DLC. Only time will reveal that.

What are you hoping will come from these new findings for Red Dead Online?
