I reckon you could impress me by contributing to it. Don't be shy now.

A key gateway into North America with a trade route that runs the length of the country, the bustling city of Saint Denis is a melting pot of cultures and people where businessmen, socialites, sailors, laborers, beggars, and thieves all live side by side.
Website description

Saint Denis is a location featured in Red Dead Redemption 2.[1] It is the largest city in Bayou Nwa; the largest settlement of the five American territories featured in game.

Description

Saint Denis is a heavily industrialized city, containing large factories with towering chimneys. As a modern city, it incorporates paved streets, uniformed police officers and a network of tram lines. The city is dark and dull, covered in a blanket of fog and the skies overpowered by large clouds of thick, black smoke.

Trivia

  • Saint Denis is based on the real world city of New Orleans, Louisiana.[2]
  • The city name of "Saint Denis" refers to the patron saint of Paris going under the same name.[3]
  • The city was supposedly named as New Bordeaux but changed during the development of the game because the name was already used in another open-world game, Mafia III. The name can be seen on the leaked 2016 map.

I played 2018's most anticipated game, 'Red Dead Redemption 2' — here are the 12 most interesting things I learned: "The “open world” of “Red Dead Redemption 2” is America itself. But, like in the “Grand Theft Auto” games and the previous “Red Dead” title, don’t expect to see a lot of direct examples. For example: A version of New Orleans (above) is named “Saint Denis” (the patron saint of Paris)."
