Ghost Rider is well Marvel’s finest character, and that’s not up for debate. Ryan Gosling is lastly set to deliver the character to the MCU in 2028’s Ghost Rider movie.
Technically, Brokers of Protect already did that however Marvel seems to be persevering with its custom of pretending that present by no means existed.
Sadly, there aren’t any new Ghost Rider video games on the horizon, the final being 2007’s merely titled Ghost Rider.
However the character has simply been added to Rockstar Video games’ open-world RPG Red Dead Redemption 2 in what’s one of many coolest mods I’ve performed this yr.
Created by NexusMods consumer 4izenX, ‘Western Ghost Rider’ is a lot greater than a easy Arthur Morgan aesthetic overhaul.
That’s a part of it, however the mod additionally transforms your horse and wagon, with associated results extending to your weapons too.
All you need to do is press ‘7’ in your keyboard as soon as the mod is put in, you’ll totally rework into Ghost Rider.
Burning flames and smoke will spill out of your physique, together with your horse additionally donning flames from its mane, face, hooves, and tail.
Driving your horse leaves a really good burning path behind you with results transferring over do you have to swap your steed.
All horses mounted whereas remodeled into Ghost Rider unlock hearth and explosion safety in addition to infinite stamina, which is a pleasant contact, in addition to settings that suppress worry responses because it’s now you that’s to be feared.
The expertise may be very comparable when using a wagon which’ll additionally emit flames and smoke when in use, with a path of embers working behind you.
4izenX by way of NexusMods
The participant character additionally secured hearth and explosion safety, and might profit from bonus injury inflicted when utilizing a flaming lasso.
The mod additionally introduces the notorious Penance Stare which lets you lock onto a visual human goal inside 18 metres, though the mechanic does work on a brief cooldown.

A brand new, official Ghost Rider sport doesn’t really feel very doubtless in the meanwhile
It could be good to see Ghost Rider missions added in future updates to this mod, however the ambiance it already builds is spectacular.
There’s room for enchancment. Strolling previous an enemy, I seen, doesn’t inflict any hearth injury however when you run previous NPCs whereas utilizing a horse mount or wagon, these in your approach will set off the impact and catch hearth, so slightly consistency could be good.
Once more, although, I’m being choosy. It’s maybe unlikely that Ghost Rider goes to get an official sport anytime quickly, even when the brand new MCU movie does ultimately thrust the character again into the highlight.
Marvel’s Wolverine didn’t go down all that properly, Marvel’s Blade is on the precipice of being cancelled, and whereas Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra is on the way in which in 2027, the shortage of updates surrounding the sport nonetheless issues me.
So when you’re in search of a fast one thing that’ll scratch the Ghost Rider itch, go away behind Arthur Morgan and rework into this anti-hero.
