10 Video Game DLCs That Are Secretly Sequels

10. Undead Nightmare - Red Dead Redemption (2010)

Although the phenomenal masterpiece that was Red Dead Redemption 2 never received any DLC, those who played the first game were lucky enough to be treated to Undead Nightmare.

Once again stepping into the cowboy boots of grizzled protagonist John Marston, this add-on spun an alternative narrative in which the Marston family’s dreams of having a quiet life are interrupted when a zombie infection breaks out. Presented like a cheesy B-Movie complete with its own menacing narrator, the plot follows Marston as he sets out into the zombie-infested frontier to find a cure to save his loved ones after they get bitten.

The premise of cowboy zombies is a fantastic one, and Rockstar fully leaned into the concept with this DLC. But this expansion was far more than an amusing gimmick.

From its sizeable storyline that brought back fan favourite characters from the base game, a collection of new challenges to complete, and a handful of new undead horses to tame, Undead Nightmare gave fans a substantial amount of content to sink their teeth into.

Throw in some new multiplayer modes too and Undead Nightmare became the unofficial Red Dead Redemption sequel that fans didn't know they needed.
