Rockstar pretty much pulled the plug on Red Dead Online in 2022, prompting fans to hold an in-game funeral for the multiplayer mode.

The label has continued supporting the title with various in-game events, but it’s ceased creating new content for it in the years since.

But that changes today, as the company has unexpectedly added some new Telegram Missions to the title.

Here’s what it confirmed in a community email to fans:

“Author Theodore Levin needs your help investigating the bizarre and unexplained in Strange Tales of the West – a new set of four eerie Telegram Missions available tomorrow in Red Dead Online. Track down undead plagues, rogue automations, swamp beasts, and more by collecting Mr. Levin’s letter from any Post Office or your Camp’s Lockbox, or by launching Telegram Missions from the Player Menu.”

This is particularly interesting because the missions sound like they have a horror flavour, which is causing some speculation about whether they could potentially be connected to an Undead Nightmare update. It seems like wishful thinking, but you never know.

Of course, the timing of this new content is suspicious to say the least. There have been heavy rumours for weeks now that a Red Dead Redemption 2 port is in production for the PS5, and the sudden addition of fresh missions would certainly support that.

Last month, the game’s original voice cast teased exciting news, which led many to believe an announcement was imminent. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a meet and greet, but there’s still reason to believe this popular title is getting an updated PS5 version.

If it is indeed happening, then hopefully Rockstar makes it official sooner rather than later. In the meantime, if you still happen to play Red Dead Online, then you have some new Telegram Missions to complete.
