It's a miracle we got RDR2 at all. Rockstar just does not care about this series.

[@petertracycarroll]

I don’t think you can say that when this game is arguably the greatest game oat they didn’t just do that by accident wile not caring about the series

[@Zeina107]

They do. Its online diddnt make remotly as much as gta5 did. Even gta5 diddnt get a single player dlc They thought rd online was gonna make alot more then it did

[@slavko7898]

its because the execs knew gta online would bring more money and they were hoping red dead online would do the same but since rdr online failed they tol them rockstar boahs to quit it with the cowboys and focus on the shark cards for gta 6 i think this is the most plausible

[@865354hayden]

yeah but rockstar north doesnt deal with gta tho

[@slavko7898]

@@865354hayden i really doubt they aren’t using every available developer for gta 6 especially since rdr2 used all of them edit: i think you have them confused gta was made by rockstar north red dead redemption 1 was made by rockstar san diego and 2 used all of them

honestly I would much rather have had a cowboy's and aliens DLC for Red Dead 2. with the euphoria physics in that game i would've loved to see ray guns and laser guns with a mechanical horse that never runs out of stamina that you never have to feed. like imagine blasting aliens to bits dual wielding a ray gun and a Scofield. they could keep the green theme too from undead nightmare. i'm still holding out hope rockstar will surprise us one day with that.

Would’ve been cool if instead of tb Arthur would’ve been slowly succumbing to a zombie virus and trying to get the gang to safety before he turns

[@MicahBeII]

I'll tell you why we never got it. Red Dead Online. The people that were too adicted to their daily streaks and dressing up as clowns rather than quit playing the game when they were unhappy with it. They complained about every single update they got. Each one changed the game substantially and it was never enough for them. They were whiny. So Rockstar focused on updating RDO and then when they still kept whining- left RDR2 behind entirely.

[@dismayingmist7868]

It would be cool if rdr2 undead nightmare 2 had vampires this time due to the side quest I think it was , I never found the vampier

[@phil.moloney2980]

After red dead redemption 2 all I what after was an undead nightmare 2, because I what to see Arthur and the gang fighting to survive, also I think I have the prefect set up just keep the prologue the same until the gang gets to horse shore overlook, because remember they get there that a small time jump before the chapter starting, so have Arthur along with I don't know Charles and Bill going into the town finding it empty than then see someone getting attack by zombies. Also on a side note I can see Dutch using the chaos of the zombies to take over a town like valentine or Rhodes using his leadership charms to bring more people into the gang.

[@LaQuack306]

The short answer is money and they no longer care about the customers

[@alankagan6623]

The fact that Rockstar went with quick cash-grab RDO over ANY single player DLC is insane. RDO no longer receives support, which was expected; a continued story expansion, or even an Undead 2, would've been MUCH more appreciated, years after RDR2's initial release.

[@killersquidarmy437]

If they bring undead nightmare back it'll be big and if it had its own online version would be sick I mean the models are in the game

[@wulfone5961]

It's because they wanted to make billions of dollars off microtransactions in RDO but RDO turned out to be a total flop because you can't sell people flying bikes with lock on missiles and orbital griefing weapons in a game set in 1899. Also the RDR fanbase isn't the same as the GTA fanbase. RDO died and Rockstar moved on.

[@FreeAimDog]

my last playthrough was a year or 2 ago and i can say tomahawks are broken, i just spent most of the game melee the zombies with it and made a video on it. basically i had max ammo on all weapons because i only melee them.

[@mightyda6042]

I was hoping we'd have cowboys vs aliens instead of the undead nightmare due to the ufo easter eggs and the fact you could only collect 2/3 meteorites i thought you'd unlock the last one during the dlc

[@antthomas7916]

Cause R* only has one PLAN. It's to make as much MONEH as they can with GTAO and GTA6.

[@LaQuack306]

I fully believe gta6 will end up like rdr2

[@liberalismisahatecrime4385]

@@LaQuack306 It will end up like GTA 5 you mean. GTA 6 online will be better than GTA online now. They've had 10 years to learn what works.

[@RandomZay2]

The closest we'll ever get to an "undead nightmare 2" is a Red Dead online zombie game-mode during halloween.

[@BLET_55artem55]

C'mon, we're almost on 6,9k Subs!!!

[@jace9968]

During that time anything zombie related was the "thing". Would be my guess.

[@tobinfreeman51]

Would I would’ve liked to seen is the Van der Linde gang get transported to the modern world. Do you think that would’ve worked?

[@michaellego5600]

rdr2 should have had an undead nightmares dlc because they knew we wanted it and knew we wanted any reason to Play as Arthur again me personally I would have bought the dlc for another 50$ and I feel like I'm not alone

[@insaneprophet9192]

I was always under the impression that the RDR series was under another development team (rockstar San Diego) than gta (rockstar North). I’m not sure how the performance of one series would affect the other. Though I do think it’s true that RDO failed so they put down future development on RDR2 to focus on RDR3.

[@splashion]

Who's to say we won't see it in the future???

[@linkspokemon4114]

Why can't rockstar and t2 just hire another developer to do single player dlc for there games if they don't have "time" for single player dlc!

[@michaeldesantagtafan]

I know right? They did this with GTA V as well. They promised 3 DLCS to the GTA V and all of them were scrapped (With one of them ending up becoming the doomsday heist/scenario in GTA ONLINE.) The information was leaked and we were suppose to get Agent Trevor - The DLC that later became the Doomsday Heist, A zombie DLC and a Liberty City DLC (Although that makes sense why they cancelled it if you think about it BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN GREAT FOR GTA ONLINE BECAUSE PEOPLE LOVED GTA IV) Not only that but in the source code leak for GTA V there was evidence that we were going to get a sequel to bully scholarship edition/Canis Canem Edit. Just think about what we will see if RDR2s source code gets leaked in the future.

[@dwaynejpeterkin]

I’m glad they didn’t make undead nightmare 2 as the only reason they did it was because of the zombie craze at the time with the walking dead

[@BoniMayne]

Cuz rockstar is lazy and greedy. The End

More so because zombies are not popular now I remember when they put out undead and people didn’t like it much as it felt rockstar was riding the zombie wave at the time
