Red Dead Redemption 2 Fan Recreates Valentine in Heartopia

by

A creative player has impressively rebuilt the town of Valentine from the video game Red Dead Redemption 2 inside Heartopia. Heartopia offers players a lot of building freedom, and this recreation is a fantastic demonstration of what’s possible.

The life simulation game Heartopia came out on mobile and PC in early January, and players quickly started exploring its features. The game is still gaining popularity on Steam, recently reaching over 50,000 concurrent players. Because Heartopia is so new, we can expect to see many more player creations like this one in the future.

Heartopia Player is Recreating Valentine from Red Dead Redemption 2

I was checking out this amazing thing someone’s doing in Heartopia – a Reddit user named No_Analysis3857 is rebuilding Valentine from Red Dead Redemption 2! Even though it’s not finished yet, it’s instantly recognizable if you’ve played the game, because they’ve put so much effort into making it accurate. They’ve already finished the sheriff’s office, the doctor and drugstore next door, the gunsmith, and the law office across the street. But honestly, what’s really cool is all the little details they’re adding – it really brings the whole build to life.

The Valentine’s buildings in Heartopia have been carefully recreated to look just like they did in the original game. The creator, No_Analysis3857, has even added fun hidden details! For example, there’s a space where Micah would be in jail, and the wagon outside the doctor’s office has been rebuilt so players can sit in it. The law office is currently unfinished, but the player plans to continue developing the town after reaching level 24, so it will likely be completed later.

Players of Heartopia are really excited about this creation, and have given No_Analysis3857 a lot of positive feedback. One fan of both games even suggested that if Heartopia allows player-run shops, they’d love to visit this version of Valentine to use one. Hopefully, No_Analysis3857 will share any future updates to their Valentine build soon.

Red Dead Redemption 2 Inspires Fan Creations

Heartopia isn’t alone in inspiring fans to recreate its world in other games. Red Dead Redemption 2 has a dedicated fanbase that extends beyond simply playing the game. Players have previously used simulation and building games to bring elements of Red Dead to life – for example, recreating Arthur Morgan in InZOI, rebuilding the town of Armadillo and Braithwaite Manor in Minecraft, and even constructing a section of the Red Dead world in Cities: Skylines.

Since the release of Heartopia in western markets, players are already beginning to recreate popular locations and themes within the game, and this trend is expected to continue in the coming months. It’s uncertain whether we’ll see full-scale recreations of more towns from Red Dead Redemption 2, but given the impressive creativity of players in similar simulation games, it’s definitely a possibility. Fans of Animal Crossing have previously built wild west-inspired designs, and Red Dead Redemption 2 locations and characters have also been featured in The Sims.

Rockstar Games is currently concentrating on Grand Theft Auto 6, expected to launch sometime in 2026. Although a new Red Dead Redemption 3 might be in development, it’s probably years before we hear anything official about it. Despite the latest game getting older, its world continues to captivate fans, and will likely remain popular for a long time to come.
