After seven months without a significant update, Red Dead online the players have decided to send the clowns. The hope among many is that dressing up as clowns will attract Rockstar’s attention and encourage the developer to bring a new update to the game a little faster. Also, it is something to do.

The last big Red Dead online The update was released in December 2019. That popular and well-received update from Moonshiners added a new role to the game, plus new missions, activities, and even player-owned bars. I really enjoyed the update and I thought at the time that it was a positive direction for REV That moved me to see what would come next.

Other players and I are still waiting for what comes next. In the same period of time, GTA Online has received updates including new contact missions and F1 racing. I hate how quickly the community of a game can start to say that a popular game is “dead”, but in REVIn the case, it’s hard to blame the players for feeling this way. So, in a movement that echoes the recent alien war in GTA Online, REV the players have been disguised as clowns to protest lack of updates, Rockstar’s lack of communication about the future of the game and draw attention to the current state of the game.

Numerous points of sale have been reporting on these clown protests for the past week, and since those previous stories, the number of players dressed up as clowns and invaders REV it has only grown. Because this is an online video game with weapons, these are almost always killer clowns. Players will sometimes find themselves in large groups and invade servers. Other times, players only play the game dressed up as a clown.

A popular YouTuber, PVPCat only, has posted encouraging videos and teaching players how to dress like a clown in REV and he has also shared videos where all the players in a REV The servers are clowns who meet and play together.

Rockstar has not responded to the fan outcry, at least not officially. Considering that Rockstar saw the alien war in GTA Online and quickly gave away the alien costumes for free, it seems unlikely that you haven’t seen the current clown festival right now. Kotaku has contacted Rockstar about the situation.

Of course, the world is a very different place today than it was in the past. REV update released December 2019. The covid-19 pandemic has forced most developers, including Rockstar, to work from home. This has certainly made it difficult to create and launch major updates. But at this point, many fans might be happy with a Rockstar message about their REV Instead, Rockstar has remained silent, further fueling player frustration.

Will the clown protest force Rockstar to update the game? No. Will you have the developer post a comment or a roadmap for REV? Also, probably not. But it could at least show developers that the game has a large and active community that is eager to play it, even if they have to do it like clowns.
