Red Dead Redemption 2’s multiplayer mode, Red Dead Online, hasn’t seen much action since Rockstar Games’ 2022 announcement that it would be cutting back support for the game. But it seems the studio hasn’t completely given up on the live-service title, as Rockstar has just released Strange Tales Of The West Vol. 1, a new set of Telegram Missions that introduce a multitude of strange new features to the game, including zombies and robots.
“Author Theodore Levin can’t believe the rumors and missives he’s been receiving from the four corners of the American frontier,” Rockstar’s official website says in an announcement of the new in-game content. “He’s working on an anthology of these unexplained and weird phenomena and he needs your help investigating the wildest claims that cross his desk.”
Strange Tales Of The West includes the following missions:
To access the Strange Tales Of The West Vol. 1 Telegram Missions (which are available now), players must retrieve Theodore Levin’s letter from their Camp Lockbox or any in-game post office. To start the missions, open the letter via your satchel or launch Telegram Missions from the player menu.
Players will also earn three times the standard amount of Gold, RDO$, and XP on Telegram Missions (including Strange Tales Of The West Missions) through Aug. 4. For more information on Strange Tales Of The West, check out Rockstar’s latest blog post.
Rockstar calling this “Vol. 1” would certainly indicate there’s more to come for Red Dead Online, but for players looking for something fresh — or for nostalgia for Red Dead Redemption’s Undead Nightmare DLC — it’s a good excuse to revisit the game’s untamed West.
