Crossovers between video games are often fun for members of both fandoms, especially when the people making the crossovers are fans themselves. Onefan game crossovercompares two very popular games,Red Dead Redemption 2andAmong Us,in a unique and hilarious way.
TheRed Dead Redemption 2fan community is known for being passionately devoted to the details, and when that comes together with theAmong Usfans, things can get really creative.Among Uscrossoversare becoming more common as the multiplayer social deduction game is enjoying newfound popularity almost two years after its release date. The two games are pretty well suited for each other when one factors in the backstabbing and social manipulation players and characters enact in both games.

Reddit user Zealousideal-Exam-44 took to theRDR2subreddit to share their creation, which is a poster of several characters fromRed Dead Redemption 2along with the phrases “crewmate” and “There is 1 impostor among us” fromAmong Us.Players familiar with this social deduction game know that one is either a crewmate or an impostor, similar to mafia members and villagers inMafia. InAmong Us, crewmates must ascertain who the impostor is.
The implication here is that there’s an “impostor” inRed Dead Redemption 2, and the thread comments are full of people guessing exactly who this Benedict Arnold would be. Some people said the impostor would be thefan-hated Micah Bell, who is a popular punching bag forRDR2players due to the man’s dubious moral choices and violence toward animals and children. However, someone else pointed out that Micah is transparently evil, while Dutch is much more willing to hide his true intentions.
Other guesses include the alcoholic thief Uncle, Jack Marston, or con artist Hosea. The game is full of conniving and trickster-inclined characters, even when someRDR2players try to be more empathetic toward animalsand NPCs. First-time players to the series often have a fun time figuring out who exactly they can and can’t trust, just like those who pick upAmong Us.
Fan crossover creations like this are often a fun way to get players both interested in the same two games doubly excited as they share their passion for multiple titles. Given the popularity of both these games, it’s more likely that people have played them both, and people can use one game to get people hyped up for the other, and vice versa.
Red Dead Redemption 2is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.Among Usis available for Mobile and PC.
