Almost immediately after the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2018, a strange glitch was noticed. A creepy, translucent human image appeared in the upper corner of the screen as soon as you entered one location. The developers fixed the bug that time, but it returned 5 years later.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is set in 1899, in a fictionalised version of the Western, Midwestern, and Southern United States. Players take on the role of Arthur Morgan, a member of the Van der Linde gang. The story tells of the gang’s struggle to survive in a world that is gradually becoming more civilised. Players have to interact with different characters, complete tasks, take part in shootouts, hunting, fishing, etc.

This game has a lot of fans, so it is not surprising that when Reddit user Breen822 reported a bug on his page, this information was widely spread. According to the user’s post, while travelling through the swamps of the Bayou Nwa region, a portrait of an unknown NPC appears on the screen. It seems that this image is indeed a portrait of a character that can be encountered during the game.

Many gamers were interested in this information and began to speculate about whose face suddenly appeared on the screen. Some said it was Gavin, Nigel’s long-lost friend. Others said that this was not a game bug, but a visual effect that Rockstar Games borrowed from Cyberpunk 2077.
