Rockstar is known for incorporating some wild and crazy hidden references into its games, and one Red Dead Redemption 2 Player thinks that a Harry Potter An Easter Egg has found its way into the game that includes Harry’s scar and John Marston’s forehead. Released in 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2 Fans are still discovering new things as they explore the game’s wild landscapes, including everything from aliens and ghosts to serial killers and monsters.

The first Red Dead Redemption revolutionized the western genre of video games. John Marston debuted in 2010 as a gruff but caring family man. Although much time has passed since the release, Marston, like Arthur Morgan, is still a topic of conversation among gamers as fans continue to explore the game’s open world, uncovering secrets that many other fans have failed to discover.

Reddit user h4furi believes that they may be referring to a Harry Potter Easter egg in Red Dead Redemption 2Potter’s iconic forehead scar is mirrored on the forehead of the outlaw John Marston. Many popular characters have some memorable scars, from The Sorcerer‘s Geralt of Rivia to Mass Effect 2Commander Shephard, but how Marston got all his scars is a bit of a mystery.

Rockstar has not yet confirmed whether Marston’s forehead scar is a Harry Potter reference, but the similarity is striking.

Players who loved Rockstar’s previous titles will be happy to hear that the 2006 title Harass could be coming to consoles, according to some recently released documents.
