Red Dead Redemptioné considerado por muitos como uma das maiores franquias ocidentais de mundo aberto, com os jogos se tornando defensores do design de videogames desde que a Rockstar adquiriu os direitos deste IP. ORed Dead Redemptionoriginal foi uma explosão de jogar por si só, mas são os grandes avanços que o segundo jogo deu que cimenta esta série como uma das maiores de todos os tempos.
Existem várias áreas que se pode explorar emRed Dead Redemption, com uma área particularmente notável sendo o estado de New Austin. Com locais lindos e uma construção de mundo impressionante,o estado de New Austinapareceu em ambos os jogos eapresenta uma tonelada de detalhes e coisas do tipoque a maioria dos jogadores simplesmente não conhece. Tendo isso em mente, aqui estão dez das melhores coisas que os jogadores precisam saber sobre New Austin.
10Há fortes provas de que o novo Austin faz fronteira com a Califórnia
Dadas as dicas que apareceram ao longo do jogo, pode-se supor que as fronteiras de New Austin são compartilhadas com as da Califórnia. A maior prova disso é que Gaptooth Ridge tem uma forte semelhança com as fronteiras do Arizona e da Califórnia.
Along with this, there’s a side quest titled “California” inRed Dead Redemptionwhere John Marston outright says that California is to the west of this state.
9There Are Strong Shades Of Texas In New Austin
As for the state that New Austin itself is supposed to represent, a large number of people support the notion that New Austin is the game’s version of Texas, with various locations in the game — such as Hennigan’s Stead and Stillwater Creek — bearing a strong resemblance to this real-world state.
However, there’s one problem with this theory — as per a report in the in-game magazine New Hanover Gazette, the state of Texas actually exists in the world ofRed Dead Redemption!
8New Austin Was Declared As A State On The Same Year As Texas
Another strong piece of evidence that adds further weight to the idea of New Austin being based on Texas is the year in which this area was officially declared to be a state.

As per in-game knowledge, New Austin was declared as a state in 1845 — the same year when Texas was annexed by the United States and ended up becoming the 28th state of the country.
7The Original Game’s Westernmost Point Is An Area In New Austin Itself
In the original game, there’s a racing track at the edge of Gaptooth Ridge which is notable for a rather interesting reason.
As per the in-game map, this area of the map is considered to be the westermost point of the game, which is a rather neat little fact that most people aren’t really aware of.
6There Was A Glitch That Allowed Players To Enter New Austin Before The Epilogue Of Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 2features Dutch and the gang fleeing from New Austin after the entire gang became notorious in the Great Plains and Tall Trees. So, due to this reason, Arthur was unable to enter this area, and players could only explore this nostalgic area after reaching the epilogue of the game.
That being said, there was actually a glitch that allowed players to explore this area without the law being on their back at every step of the way. Unfortunately, this exploit was removed with the 1.7.2 update.
5There’s Cut Content Proving That Arthur Was Supposed To Enter New Austin At One Point
While entering New Austin illegitimately as Arthur ends up netting no unique lines of dialogue whatsoever, there’s actually cut content which suggests thatArthur was supposed to enter this area at one point — something that doesn’t end up happening in the base game.
This cut content includes unique drawings of the locations of New Austin by Arthur and some lines of dialogue as well!
4New Austin Is The Largest Territory In Red Dead Redemption 2
A rather fun tidbit about New Austin is the fact that this territory is actually the largest area that players can explore inRed Dead Redemption 2.
The fact that players can only unlock this area in the epilogue is a testament to the meat of this game and why it’s considered to be one of the greatest open-world titles of all time.
3New Austin Has Only One Story Mission In The Sequel
However, while New Austin’s size might point towards the fact that it’ll play a major role in the epilogue, the reality of this situation is anything but.

For some puzzling reason,there’s only one story missioncentered in this area inRed Dead Redemption 2 — “An Honest Day’s Labors”. However, given the massive nature of this map andthe interesting encounters that lie within, players would still have plenty of things to do in this area regardless.
2There’s A House Marked On The Map Of Red Dead Redemption 2 That Is Absent In The Game
If the player opens the map inRed Dead Redemption 2and checks the area southeast of Rathskeller Fort in New Austin, they’ll see a house that is marked on said map.
However,this house is absent in the main game. In fact, even the first game in the series has no house in this area either, making players wonder whether this house was nothing more than an error.
1Player’s Can Exit The Boundaries Of The Area Into Unmarked Territory In Both Games
Both games have instances where players can go outside the boundaries of New Austin into unmarked territory. Whether this was intentional or not is anyone’s guess… although most people lead towards the latter in this regard.
In the first game, players can head to a snowy area north of MacFarlane’s Ranch that is outside the boundaries of New Austin. Meanwhile, in the sequel, players can cross the Sea of Coronado and pass through some ravines to get to an unmarked area of the map, which people can use toglitch into Mexico.
