Originally introduced to us in 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2 delved into the early days of the notorious Dutch van der Linde gang, placing Arthur Morgan at the centre of a gripping tale set against the backdrop of the Wild West. Now, in a surprising twist, Arthur Morgan is making a comeback, not through another instalment but as an American history teacher, Gamingbible reported.
