Nearly two years after its release and the community surrounding Red Dead Redemption 2 continues to find new ways to expand its world. Be it cool new details about characters like Jack Marston or fun ways to interact with the world that Rockstar Games has created, it seems like RDR 2 players will never run out of things to do.
Not to be outdone, one Red Dead Redemption 2 player (u/laconicgrin) has sought to recreate a grisly (grizzly?) scene from Leonardo DiCaprio's Oscar-winning performance in The Revenant. Since DiCaprio isn't in proper Red Dead Redemption 2, the player had to use Arthur Morgan as a stand-in, but the rest of the images paint a similar picture to the film.
For those that might not be familiar with The Revenant, there is a violent scene in which DiCaprio's character, Hugh Glass, is attacked by a grizzly bear. Although it seems unlikely that Glass is going to escape, he eventually gets hold of a firearm and kills the bear. Still, his wounds appear fatal and thus the plot of The Revenant thickens.
In this Red Dead Redemption 2 recreation, the player is once again attacked by a grizzly bear and gains the upper hand. This time, the player is seen on their horse, so it isn't entirely accurate to the Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu film. Mostly the key pieces are on display, and the Red Dead Redemption 2 player wanted to share their experience with the community.
Although The Revenant is not a classic Western in the sense that Red Dead Redemption 2 is, the film does share a lot of themes with the genre. Revenge is a big point in the film, as DiCaprio's Glass looks to find a group that betrayed him. Like Arthur Morgan, he's a character that seeks to do good but understands the cost of survival in some cases.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is about to celebrate its second anniversary at the end of October, but Rockstar has not announced any concrete plans to celebrate. There have been rumors and leaks concerning a Halloween event for Red Dead Online, but nothing has been made official just yet. But given that there are files for undead characters and a full Halloween Pass, it seems very likely that there is something in the cards.
Single-player, on other hand, is locked in as-is for the time being. There may be a next-gen port of Red Dead Redemption 2 in the future, but right now players are left finding their own fun, like recreating a scene from a popular movie.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
