Red Dead Redemption 2 fans make the DLC they've always wanted with a massive Mexico mod that features new NPCs, towns, wildlife, and a lot more

Red Dead Redemption 2 is still going strong despite being a good eight years old now, with fans keeping it alive via expansive mods – like Nuevo Paraíso, the "ambitious recreation of the Mexican territory from RDR1" we've waited some time for.

We don't have much longer to wait, thankfully, as creator Rixus has unveiled the mod's big release date in a new trailer over on YouTube – and it's coming next month on September 16.

Seeing as we're just a few weeks away from the launch now, that's quite big news… and it's accompanied by a fresh sneak peek at Nuevo Paraíso, too. Between the searing landscapes and populated towns showcased, I'm honestly not sure what I'm personally most excited for.
