Red Dead Redemption star has “exciting news” & fans hope it’s a remake

by

In a hint at an exciting revelation, Robert Wiethoff, who lent his voice to John Marston in the epic Red Dead Redemption, has sparked speculation that a reprisal of the 2010 masterpiece might be underway.

Among the most highly regarded games ever made is the original Red Dead Redemption, which showcases Rockstar’s renowned open-world style set against the backdrop of the wild west. Its 2018 prequel expanded on this with a larger and more stunning landscape, but the first game continues to hold a dear spot in the hearts of its devoted followers.

For quite some time now, there’s been talk about updating this classic series to match contemporary norms, given its status as an icon. However, while whispers of a remake have been circulating, no official word on the matter has yet been released.

Currently, the actor who voices John Marston has hinted at an upcoming event, causing fans to brace themselves for potential disappointment yet again.

Red Dead Redemption fans are hoping for a remake

Recently, Rob Wiethoff has been broadcasting gameplay of Red Dead Redemption on his YouTube channel, offering behind-the-scenes peeks into its creation. However, during his June 14 stream (as reported by ‘F4D3broboi’ on Reddit), he started building anticipation for an upcoming announcement.

He said with a hint of anticipation, “I have some thrilling news, but I can’t disclose it to you just yet. It’s driving me crazy!” Then, with a wink, he added, “Rest assured, everything will be unveiled no later than Friday, June 20th.” He also mentioned that he won’t be the sole one sharing this news.

However, the statement that stood out most was when he declared: “There’s nothing else I can imagine, particularly not this game.

Many viewers took this as a sign that new information about Red Dead is being suggested, leading to excitement about the possibility of a re-make of Red Dead Redemption.

A fan excitedly commented, ‘Man, a remake of Red Dead 1 would be amazing! I sure do hope that’s what they’re planning!’

As a passionate admirer, I fervently wish for him to express “particularly playing this game” – may it be a remake of Red Dead Redemption 1! Oh, if only it were so, my dear friends…

Some suggested that enhancing Red Dead Redemption 1 to match the graphical quality of its successor might not be entirely implausible, considering a significant portion of the original game’s map is present in the prequel as well. Others, however, expressed doubts, suggesting it may instead refer to the long-anticipated next-gen upgrade for Red Dead Redemption 2.

There’s also a chance that the news isn’t related to Red Dead at all. It might be a different project that Wiethoff is currently engaged in, or it could be something entirely unrelated. We’ll just have to see what the official announcement reveals.

Regardless of the scenario, enthusiasts are eagerly waiting for a morsel to satiate their anticipation before Rockstar unveils GTA 6 in 2026.
