2. Dutch Returns

Perhaps the most significant reveal in the entire trailer, other than the identity of the protagonist, is the presence of a young Dutch van der Linde, who of course appeared as an antagonist in the first game and seems to be Morgan's boss in R2R2.

Dutch asks Morgan, "Do you have my back?" to which he replies, "Always, Dutch", perhaps suggesting the hint that the two characters will come to blows at some point in the game.

Whatever happens, it's a fun link to the original and will likely provide the most blatant interaction between the two games. While Dutch's younger appearance suggests a decent gulf of time between the two games, it remains to be seen exactly what year RDR2 is set in.
