If there’s one thing thatRed Dead Redemption 2exceeds incredibly at is its attention to detail. Boasting an impressive degree of user interactivity spanning a massive open world, there’s a cacophony of hidden content and threads for players to follow withinRed Dead Redemption 2. However, one player’s recent encounter with a stone carving might indicate an alien presence within the game.
WhileRed Dead Redemption 2is home to several Easter eggs, the bulk of its open-world gameplay consists primarily of original content. Whether that’s chance encounters with NPCs, fighting off gangs and bounty hunters, or tracking down collectibles. Though, every so often, players will encounter hidden details within the environment that tell a kind of hidden story. One such hidden story potentially pertains to alien lifeforms.

A Reddit user by the name of Radiant-Head-793 found a bizarre image carved into a rock withinWest Elizabeth. There seem to be three tall, skinny creatures etched white against a black background. The Redditor surmised that they were aliens carved onto the rock and noted that the rock carving was surrounded by poles with skulls and horns on them.
This image could signify a lot of things. The poles with the skulls and horns on them could indicate the presence of some long-dead cult that worshipped these creatures or something to that extent. Then again,Rockstar Gameshas been known to include aliens in a number of its games by way of various form factors. In fact, one of the studio’s most popular games includes a similarly mysterious, alien-related secret.
One of the greatest hidden details withinGrand Theft Auto 5is the infamous alien mystery, which involved a series of cryptic images that led the player to encounter a UFO. It’s possible that this stone carving could be about some longwinded piece of side content similar to the one featured inGTA 5, considering that it did take players a full four years before they finally solved the mystery.
Although, it seems unlikely thatRed Dead Redemption 2would feature something as outlandish as aliens. While the series is known for its rather strange occurrences and less serious in-game content, such asUndead Nightmare,to name one example, extraterrestrials seem less thematically appropriate to the overall tone of the game, compared to something like zombies. It will be interesting to see if other players discover more of these images in the future.
Red Dead Redemption 2is available now on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
