- Rob Wiethoff, the voice actor best known for Red Dead Redemption's John Marston, teased some "exciting news" during a Twitch stream.
- The voice actor minced no words in conveying just how excited he was about the topic, and confirmed that his teases will see a full reveal before Friday.
- Fans have assumed the news is linked to the rumored Red Dead Redemption Switch 2, but this remains unconfirmed.
Rob Wiethoff, the voice actor best known for his portrayal of John Marston in the Red Dead Redemption franchise, recently teased some ‘exciting news‘ that he couldn’t wait to get off his chest. The 48-year-old made the announcement while playing through 2010’s Red Dead Redemption on stream, adding that the news is all he could think about. While he refused to provide any further details, the vague tease was enough to stir up anticipation among fans online.
Clips of his cryptic statement began doing the rounds online almost immediately, with fans proposing all sorts of theories on what the news could be. Here’s what Wiethoff had to say:
“I got such exciting news. I can’t share it with you right now. It’s absolutely killing me. By the end of this week, hopefully sooner, not as soon as tomorrow, but definitely before Friday. Oh, my goodness! The news that I have to share, and I won’t be the only one sharing it, I cannot wait for you to know what’s going on. And that’s all I can say. That’s all I can think about right now.”
“You will know soon enough. I am so excited. I truly cannot think about anything else, especially playing this game, other than that I want to tell you something so bad,” he added.
Since the comments came during an RDR stream, many players have naturally assumed that the announcement could be related to Rockstar’s western franchise. Reports of a rumored RDR 2 port for the Nintendo Switch 2 provide a bit of weight to this theory. Those reports also mentioned a 60 FPS update for current-gen machines. Seeing the rumor come to fruition would be a sight for sore eyes, especially given the ennui induced by GTA 6’s delay into 2026.
With that being said, Wiethoff’s announcement likely has nothing to do with Red Dead Redemption. The voice might be hinting at a personal project instead, perhaps a new character that he’s lending his voice to. We’re free to dream of course, and it’ll only be a short wait until the actor’s exciting news is unveiled.
What do you make of Wiethoff’s comments? Do you think he might be hinting at the rumored RDR 2 remaster? Let us know in the comments below.
