The voice actor for Arthur Morgan fromRed Dead Redemption 2, Roger Clark, has finally reacted to the ongoing rumors regarding the series' future. These rumors began circulating last week, but it wasn’t until recently that Arthur Morgan’s own voice actor, and a huge fan of the series, actually got involved to share his knowledge about what is going on.
When asked by a fan onXwhether he knew anything about theRed Dead Redemptionrumors doing the rounds online,Roger Clark responded with a simple “Yes” followed by a gif of a dog grinning mischievously. FellowRDR2voice actor, Noshir Dalal, who played Charles Smith, another member of the Van der Linde gang, responded to Clark’s post with a gif of actor Jason Momoa looking sheepishly coy, implying that he, too, knows something.
While it isn’t much to go on - the fan did say to Clark that he didn’t have to explain what he knew -it does heavily imply that we will, indeed, be hearing something about theRed Dead Redemptionfranchisesooner rather than later, and that fans probably should get excited. Naturally, even without a lot of information, it looks abundantly clear what Rockstar will likely announce in the coming days.
John Marston’s Voice Actor Teased Fans
TheRed Dead Redemptionrumors started last week when voice actorRob Wiethoff, who played John Marston inRed Dead Redemptionand its sequel, announced during a stream on hisTwitchchannel that he has “such exciting news"for fans. While he didn’t announce much, preferring to tease fans and let them be surprised by the full announcement, he did confirm that fans will know “soon enough” what it is. Of course, this set the internet ablaze, and made fans wonder if now is thebest time to platinumRDR2before any potential new updates or even entries are released.
Fans began to speculate wildly, which wasn’t helped by both Roger Clark and Noshir Dalal, as aforementioned, confirming that they too knew of the upcoming announcement that was teased by Wiethoff.Rockstar has yet to come forward and officially confirm anything itself, but it will likely do so in the coming days. This comes off the back of amassiveGTA 6delaythat hugely disappointed fans. Any new updates to Rockstar’s existing games would likely help soften the blow and serve as a good distraction as fans wait.
It Looks Like Something’s Happening With Red Dead
A Switch 2 Port? A PS5 Remaster?
While no one has confirmed what theRed Dead Redemptionannouncement will be, there are some compelling theories that could be true. The most prominent ones are thatit is either a Nintendo Switch 2 port or the long-awaited next-gen update. Fans have been clamoring forRDR2to get a next-gen update that allows for higher framerates, better visual fidelity, and perhaps even new content. Additionally, the Switch currently has the first game, but not the second, so it would make sense for Rockstar to port it over.
Naturally, many may assume that the announcement has something to do with the presumablyupcomingRed Dead Redemption 3, but that seems somewhat unlikely. After making his initial announcement, Wiethoff confirmed in an unrelated video uploaded to hisYouTubechannel that he may have “misled some people” with his announcement. He did reiterate that the news is exciting, but perhaps fans should temper their expectations. Regardless, it looks like we can expect an announcement for theRed Dead Redemptionfranchise from Rockstar soon.
