Voice actor Rob Wiethoff, the gifted voice of Red Dead Redemption’s iconic hero John Marston, has now spoken out to explain his earlier statement that had left the audience eagerly waiting for upcoming announcements of the franchise series. His earlier statements had resulted in common gossip and outraged arguments among the eager fan club, holding their breaths for even a hint of upcoming development from Rockstar Games.
Wiethoff’s most recent words were aimed at tempering expectations, fully cognizant that while great news is indeed in the works, his earlier enthusiasm would probably have led some to interpret too much too soon. He once more maintains that news of an official nature is the exclusive province of Rockstar Games, another developer’s typical stance putting the developer squarely on record as being the one and only proprietor of its intellectual properties. With that disclaimer, Wiethoff firmly guaranteed that big news is indeed in the offing.
Also contributing to this feeling of anticipation is the voice actor of Red Dead Redemption 2, talented Roger Clark, the voice of Arthur Morgan, who also spilled the beans that indeed he knew the big reveal. This two-time confirmation from industry legends regarding the voice acting cast of the game further stoked the fans’ interests, and hence an extensive list of theories emerged. Fan theories have involved the possibility of a Nintendo Switch 2 port, an optimized next-gen version for systems like the PlayStation 5, or even a much-awaited remake of Red Dead Redemption. Even the ambitious concept of a live-action film has been discussed in such fan theories.
As expectation is really in the air, gamers are requested to wait and be fair-minded. Gaming has been ruined time and again by hype beforehand. True clarity will only become apparent once Rockstar Games finally gets around to doing it, something which, according to Wiethoff, should be as quickly as possible. In the meantime, the hyperactive gossip and rumormongering will no doubt keep rolling over gaming.
