The world’s of Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 are deeply intertwined. Both games take place in the same fictionalized version of the American West, and they feature many of the same characters and locations. In Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2), players take on the role of Arthur Morgan, a member of the Van der Linde gang. The gang is led by Dutch van der Linde, and it includes many of the same characters from Red Dead Redemption 1 (RDR1), such as John Marston and Bill Williamson. RDR2 tells the story of the Van der Linde gang’s decline and fall, and it provides a glimpse into the events that led up to RDR1.

One of the most striking similarities between RDR1 and RDR2 is their shared commitment to realism. Both games feature a meticulously recreated version of the American West, and they pay close attention to the details of everyday life in the period. This attention to detail is evident in everything from the clothing and weapons to the architecture and landscape. As a result, both games offer a truly immersive experience that allows players to feel like they are actually living in the Wild West.
