Surprising Alternate Ending Discovered in Red Dead Redemption 2
Released in 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2 quickly became an all-time classic, receiving high scores of 96 from aggregate rating sites such as Metacritic and being labeled a ‘Must Play’. In addition, Red Dead Redemption 2, which offers hours of entertainment to players with its main story missions and side events, was awarded the ‘Labour of Love’ award at the 2023 Steam Awards, five years after its first release.
While Red Dead Redemption 2 could win any awards in 2018, Rockstar Games’ reduction of content support for Red Dead Online may be preventing it from reaching the 2023 ‘Labor of Love’ award.
Five years after the game’s release, one player revealed a secret that other players may have missed, Comicbook.com reports. Gameplay videos published on the Player7 YouTube channel provide details about this secret mission regarding NPC Mark Johnson. To complete this mission you need to make a difficult decision.
After accepting the reward, you will find Mark Johnson with his family in the wilderness. Mark, who escaped while protecting his wife and son, will say that he will surrender after saying goodbye to his loved ones instead of fighting you. However, if you kill Mark’s wife and force him to kidnap his son, the situation will change.
After Arthur delivers Mark to the sheriff’s office, he will apologize for killing his wife. A week later, to save Mark from being executed, you can shoot everyone present at the execution and wait for your wanted level to drop, allowing Mark to live freely with his son. However, his son will now be motherless.
