Another day, another Red Dead rumour, but this one comes from John Marston himself – or, at least, the actor who brings him to life, Rob Wiethoff.
In his latest Red Dead Redemption livestream, as spotted by F4D3broboi on Reddit, Wiethoff was very excited indeed about an upcoming announcement. And while he was coy about the details, he did stress that he was particularly excited playing “this game” – the original Red Dead Redemption – and even suggested we’ll know by this time next week.
“I’ve got such exciting news,” he teased. “I can’t share it with you right now, and it’s absolutely killing me. By the end of this week, hopefully sooner, you’re going to – not this week, I guess; probably 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,” he added. “And that’s all I can say. And I’m not trying to be… I’m just telling, that’s the only thing I can think about right now. And you will know soon enough. I can’t wait for you to know, I am so excited, but I truly cannot think about anything else, especially playing this game, I can’t think of anything else. Oh, then what I want to tell you so bad.”
i wonder what this could mean?

This latest tease comes just days after we heard another rumour that Red Dead Redemption 2 may be getting a next-gen update alongside a Nintendo Switch 2 port. YouTuber Nate the Hate stated the cowboy classic will receive the update and a port to Nintendo’s latest console release later this year.
The original Red Dead Redemption released way back in May 2010. We awarded it 8/10, calling it “an exceptional Rockstar game, one that successfully re-clothes the Grand Theft Auto framework in an exciting, distinct and expertly realised scenario”.
