It is common knowledge that a game can change quite a bit throughout development and our first look at a game may not be how it will look upon release.
That was the case forRed Dead Redemption 2whose early trailers made the open-worldRockstartitle look a bit different than it did when it finally launched.
Check out the launch trailer forRed Dead Redemption 2below!
Although there were no dramatic changes, one change related to the Heartlands area of the map which appeared more “dried out” in the beta and earlier versions of the game.

This would make sense consideringRed Dead2is set mainly in the arid plains and is considered a Western and this earlier look definitely matched the aesthetic.
However, the Heartlands later became a whole lot lusher and greener, a decision that not all fans were happy with.
Luckily there is one fan who has created theHeartPlains 2.0mod.

“Welcome to the Heartplains of New Hanover!” Themoddescription reads.
“This once green lush farmland has become ideal grazing land for many ranches ever since it fell into this intense dry spell.
From Flatneck Station to Emerald Ranch is bone dry, and this can be seen from the furthest traversable terrain imaginable!
Even the Heartland’s most prominent town Valentine has become dry near the outskirts, though the wet mud keeps the center green and lush.”

After a year of hard work, the mod has finally been released and although it doesn’t affect gameplay, it still adds a much more realistic feel toRed Dead Redemption 2.
“Very cool mod,” read onecommentover on r/reddeadredemption.
“Would have downloaded this in a heartbeat when I first started playing the game. I was expecting a dusty dry western and was slightly disappointed.
Now though I really appreciate the rolling green plains and it fits for the weather of the area.”
