John Marston’s voice actor, Rob Wiethoff, has clarified his tease regarding Red Dead Redemption, saying that while there is indeed exciting news coming, he may have misled some people. Since Wiethoff’s comments, Red Dead Redemption fans have been wondering what this “exciting news” could possibly be, and several theories have arisen—but now the actor has stepped back a bit.

Red Dead Redemption is such an iconic franchise that even a small tease dropped by a reliable source can quickly create a lot of buzz around it. The series has seen a lot of success over the years, especially with its latest entry, Red Dead Redemption 2, where players follow an outlaw gang trying to adapt to the rapidly changing times of the American Wild West. The game delivered a visually impressive adventure set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that captured the industry’s attention upon release, offering a vivid open world packed with activities befitting an outlaw of the time, such as shootouts, robberies, and more. Now, while Red Dead Redemption fans wait for upcoming "exciting" news, John Marston’s voice actor has more to say about it.

It seems as though the beloved Red Dead Redemption 2 is in line to get a big upgrade at some point later this year.

During a workout video on his own YouTube channel, Rob Wiethoff took a couple of minutes to clarify the comments he made about some apparently exciting Red Dead Redemption news coming soon that stirred up the gaming community. He admitted that his comment may have misled some people, as many have started theorizing about the different meanings his previous tease could have had. In a somewhat apologetic way, he also added that he is not the one designated by Rockstar to deliver RDR announcements. “Rockstar Games makes announcements for Rockstar Games. And they don’t use me to do that,” he said.

Despite his clarifications, he did confirm that exciting news is coming soon—though fans might not want to hold their breath for it. Adding to the excitement, Arthur Morgan’s actor recently confirmed he knows what the RDR news is about but didn’t share any more details, leaving many fans intrigued.

These comments from the franchise’s main actors have naturally sparked a lot of theories in the RDR community, with some believing the news will be about either an RDR2 port for the Nintendo Switch 2 or an enhanced version of the game for the PS5. However, theories also point to a potential remake of the first game or even a live-action adaptation of the franchise. Nevertheless, after Wiethoff’s clarifications, it may be wiser not to draw any conclusions and to wait until Rockstar finally releases an official announcement.
