New Red Dead Redemption 2 Mod introduces new creatures & monsters
https://www.dsogaming.com/pc-performance-analyses/new-red-dead-redemption-2-mod-introduces-new-creatures-monsters/
Red Dead Redemption 2 came out last year on the PC. Since then, and contrary to GTA5, we haven’t really seen a lot of mods for it, which is kind of disappointing. Thankfully, though, modder ‘HermanDude’ has released a pretty cool mod that adds some new creatures and monsters to hunt.

As HermanDude noted, this mod is in its early stage of development. Thus, players may encounter some bugs and glitches, and may experience some game crashes.

You can download the Red Dead Redemption 2 Misterix Mod from here. Do also note that you’ll need the Map Editor in order to play this mod. Below you can also find a video showcasing the mod in action.

Modders are making a 'direct sequel' to Dark Souls with a whole new map
https://www.pcgamer.com/modders-are-making-a-direct-sequel-to-dark-souls-with-a-whole-new-map/
Dark Souls is getting another sequel, though not by From Software. Modder Grimrukh, who released Daughters of Ash, the most popular mod for the original Dark Souls, has pulled together a team of other modders to make something even bigger. It's not just a transformation of the original Dark Souls, but a whole new game built from its pieces. It's called Dark Souls: Nightfall.
Based on the description on Grimrukh's site, Nightfall sounds like a fascinating project. It's a "direct sequel" to Dark Souls with "expanded lore," but Grimrukh says it's not meant to clash with the original story. And it has a whole new world map—but unlike a lot of ambitious mod projects (say, Fallout: Miami) it's not actually using new graphical assets. "I’m using a mixture of physically rearranging the areas of Lordran and building new areas out of existing map pieces and collisions," Grimrukh explains.
