Right, before we get into this, we have to make clear that the video below, which includes the glitch mentioned in the article's headline, contains huge spoilers for Red Dead Redemption 2.
If you haven't finished Red Dead Redemption 2 yet and you don't want to be spoiled, please, for the love of god, get outta here and go play it.
This is your last warning.
Last warning!
Last, last warning!
No, seriously this is it. Scroll beyond here and it ain't our problem.
Here's the video!
YouTube user Elemeno Peah supposedly encountered a voice glitch during Red Dead 2's postgame content. After the game's first set of credits roll, you play as original Red Dead Redemption lead character John Marston, except in the video, John talks with what sounds like Jack Marston's voice.
Now obviously Jack's just a kid in Red Dead Redemption 2, but in the original Red Dead Redemption, a teenage Jack became the main character after the credits rolled. And in this clip, the glitched voice sounds a lot like Jack's teenage voice.
Before we delve deeper, there's a chance that this could just be some totally unrelated, super rare bug that pulls up scrapped or placeholder dialogue from some other point in the game. Heck, it could even be a very elaborate ruse, but if it is, then it's a damn good one.
What lends some weight to this actually being Jack's voice is that the whole of Red Dead Redemption's map is in Red Dead Redemption 2, and you can visit all of it, barring Mexico, in the postgame where you play as John. The thing is, these areas are relatively barren in comparison to the main locations of Red Dead Redemption 2 -- they don't have much in them aside from a string of bounty hunter missions and a few random events.
This fact has already lead to a lot of speculation over whether Rockstar intends to recreate the original Red Dead Redemption using the much upgraded Red Dead Redemption 2 engine. Possibly releasing it as some kind of expansion.
That seems like a bit of a tall order, but you never quite know with Rockstar, and this voice glitch could be an indication of what's to come. Honestly, we're hoping that it is.
What do you make of this? Feel free to let speculation run wild in the comments section below.

I ignored all the warnings and I haven’t bought the game. The more you tell me not to do it, the more you entice me to actually do it. Don’t feel bad though, that’s just how I am.
Watch the language Robert. 😋
I'd be down for this. It just makes perfect sense.
I thought about this when I realised how much of the original game map was in this game. Plus the new John Marston model could easily be aged a little. Seems like more than half of the work is already done (maybe). I’d definitely buy it.
That would be awesome, but to me it seems like people are over-analysing this. Hopefully, I am wrong.
i wouldn't think too much about it, gta V also had barren places on the map including a unfinished casino and nothing came of it so i won't hold my breath with this one either.
Arthur Morgan > John Marston.
these people better release an undead nightmare 2. It's be a crime to not take advantage of some of these insane locations..
I think it's a little bit of wishful thinking. But i would love to be wrong.
Ahh yes. Show a large photo at the top and then warn about spoilers. Good move. Real attention to detail.
@youreyesonly00 If they don't do this, I will lose so much respect for R*. I know they skipped the SP DLC for GTA5 but they can't possibly skip this obvious gem. Undead Nightmare is one of the best DLCs of all time. I would pay at least $30 for it. I never bought a Shark Card, so it's way more than the $0 GTAO money they ever got from me.
Nah this seems really unlikely to me
I can't believe it was all a dream
@ApostateMage Agreed. Never in a million years did I think I would say that but here we are.
I was thinking of it when i played RDR II. You already have almost whole map of first game, but in the main story you will not go there. I doubt it is only for the online. It make perfect sense to make a RDR I remake a DLC for RDR II
I guess, it's sounds as fake. Probably that guy recorded his own teenage voice, or just pulled it out from RDR1. Too much noise on this phrases and as it's only two gives it even more chances to be fake.
@WangDoodle
All that photo shows is that John Marston is in the game, and we knew that before the game was even released. The picture spoils nothing.
Never gonna happen. The internet does love a good conspiracy though.
I skipped past the article due to the spoiler warnings (thanks for adding the warnings). If they added a DRD1 remake as DLC for this game, then I'd happily pay for it.
Doubt it. Then again Mexico is also in the game but it's like one area and it's a complete glitch to enter. https://youtu.be/GDfYDakKYWo
We NEED different lobby options.. invite, friends and so on as GTA did. That way the kids can run around like every game and kill stuff and the rest can actually enjoy the other aspects of the game.
@W024 Agreed. There's nowt worse than getting shot/stabbed/tackled/lassoed whilst simply trying to fish peacefully.
This is what I was thinking when I got to the old area.... I'd buy it!
Just reached epilogue 2, man I love this game!
And I would be 100% down to playing RDR1 with RDR2 mechanics, visuals and such! Please be real, please be real!
