Rob Wiethoff, the voice behind Red Dead Redemption‘s iconic John Marston, recently clarified his earlier comments about an upcoming announcement, admitting he may have unintentionally raised false hopes among fans. The actor initially sparked speculation when he hinted at exciting news during a livestream, leading many to believe Rockstar Games might reveal something major.
During a recent YouTube session, Wiethoff addressed the confusion head-on. “I do have something I’m really excited about,” he told viewers, “but I possibly misled some people when I mentioned an announcement I couldn’t discuss yet.” He emphasized that while he’s genuinely thrilled about upcoming news, he doesn’t speak for Rockstar Games, a point he repeated to temper expectations.
Fans quickly theorized that his excitement might be tied to a planned Red Dead Redemption cast reunion at the National Gaming Expo in Tampa this August. However, since that event was announced weeks ago, it doesn’t fully align with Wiethoff’s recent hints.
The actor later confirmed the reveal had been delayed, joking about the complexities behind the scenes. “It’s coming,” he assured fans, “but there are a lot of moving parts. We want to get this right.” His enthusiasm remained undimmed, promising the wait would be worth it once details finally emerge.
While the nature of the news remains under wraps, Wiethoff’s comments suggest it’s unrelated to Rockstar’s official plans, leaving the Red Dead community to speculate until further updates arrive.
