01

John Marston's journey

Federal agents threaten John's family and force him to track down members of his former gang. The story follows the events of Red Dead Redemption 2, but can also be enjoyed as the original entry without reading a plot summary first.

02

Three territories to explore

New Austin, Nuevo Paraiso and West Elizabeth connect frontier settlements, the Mexican borderlands and the growing town of Blackwater. Follow introductory missions to learn travel and combat before making a long trip into unfamiliar territory.

03

Undead Nightmare

The companion adventure reimagines the frontier as a zombie-horror setting, with John searching for a way to protect his family. It is a separate experience from the main campaign; check that your chosen purchase includes it.

04
