The voice actors behind Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 have fans buzzing with anticipation after teasing a big announcement related to the franchise. Rob Wiethoff, who voices John Marston, shared an intriguing hint during a live stream while playing Red Dead Redemption, suggesting that something exciting is coming this week, likely before Friday. ‘I’ve got such exciting news. I can’t share it with you right now, and it’s absolutely killing me,’ Wiethoff teased. ‘Not as soon as tomorrow, but definitely before Friday. I cannot wait for you to know what’s going on.’ His cryptic message left fans guessing, especially after he added, ‘I can’t think of anything else, especially playing this game.’
Adding fuel to the fire, Roger Clark, the actor behind Arthur Morgan, responded to Wiethoff’s tease on X, simply stating, ‘Yes,’ and sharing a gif of a smiling dog as if to say, ‘I know something you don’t.’ Noshir Dalal, who voices Charles in Red Dead Redemption 2, joined in with his own cryptic reply, heightening the suspense even further.
All three actors are now linked to this mysterious announcement, which has led many to believe that a current-gen upgrade for Red Dead Redemption 2 could be on the horizon.
Fans have long been waiting for a PS5 and Xbox Series X/S version of Red Dead Redemption 2, which still plays on the previous generation of consoles. While the PC version offers fantastic visuals, console players are left with the older version. A next-gen update with graphical improvements would be a massive win for the series, especially now that the first Red Dead game has received a remastered version. It’s also possible that the long-rumored Switch 2 version of the game could finally be unveiled, alongside updates for other platforms. Alternatively, Rockstar might surprise everyone with an entirely new Red Dead-related announcement. However, given the hype these voice actors are generating, it’s likely something significant is coming.
Only time will tell if this leads to a new story expansion, a next-gen update, or something entirely unexpected. But for now, fans are eagerly awaiting the big reveal, hoping that their excitement will soon be rewarded with more than just a Switch 2 port.
