Red Dead Redemption 2 modder creates the perfect open-world game by turning Rockstar's masterwork into Elden Ring

Red Dead Redemption 2's Arthur Morgan falls to his death as attackers look down at him and an Elden Ring-style 'You Died' banner appears on screen.

A Red Dead Redemption 2 modder has thrown two of the most beloved open-world games of all time into a blender, essentially "remaking" Elden Ring inside Rockstar's wild west opus — to the extent that it's possible to remake such a nuanced world and story in another game, of course.

"An unbelievable amount of work went into putting this mod together," says visionary modder and YouTuber Blurbs, and I believe him. Naturally, you won't find every hidden script of dialogue or mini boss in Blurbs' creation, which isn't available to the public just yet, but you will find Red Dead Redemption 2 characters brandishing huge swords and using Elden Ring-inspired moves like heavy slashes and overhead strikes. That's impressive enough, but Blurbs also managed to custom build spells with unique effects that knock back enemies and inflict them with damage over time, mirroring Elden Ring's Scarlet Rot effect.
