"Red Dead Redemption" from Rockstar Games, along with its fan-favourite zombie-horror expansion "Undead Nightmare", are now preparing for a major release across multiple platforms on December 2, 2025. It's great to see that, first time the game will appear on mobile (iOS and Android) and will also bring the single-player experience to Netflix Games subscribers, and in addition to next-generation consoles such as PS5, Xbox Series X|S and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This release comes with great performance upgrades as well, such as - this game release provides up to 4K resolution and 60 fps on capable hardware, free upgrades for owners of the older digital editions, and the ability to carry over saved progress from previous hardware too. In both Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare, the full single-player campaigns will be included.
Red Dead Redemption:-
In Red Dead Redemption, players play as "John Marston", he is a former outlaw coerced into hunting down his old gang by federal agents in order to save his family’s life. This game is set in the waning era of the 'American Old West' and also, this game balances open-world exploration, narrative depth, and action with a sweeping frontier setting. Now, Undead Nightmare on the other hand, takes the same characters and world but flips the type of story. A zombie plague has broken out, and "Marston" must find a cure, fight hordes of undead, liberate towns and survive a horror-twisted frontier as well. Unlike the original, Undead Nightmare leans into horror tropes and supernatural elements which offers fans a different flavour of the same open world engine. When they come together, they provide a full and great single-player experience.
Basic Details:-
Red Dead Redemption was first announced on February 3, 2009 with a trailer that introduced its concept and world. Although this game was going to release in late 2009, the game delayed and then released in year 2010. The Undead Nightmare expansion for Red Dead Redemption was first announced on July 8, 2010. The downloadable version arrived on October 26, 2010 and the retail disc version released around November 23-26, 2010.
