A Week of Teases – But Not What Fans Expected
Last week, Red Dead Redemption 2 voice actors Rob Wiethoff (John Marston), Roger Clark (Arthur Morgan), and Noshir Dalal (Charles Smith) dropped mysterious hints about an upcoming announcement.
Fans speculated:
- A next-gen 60fps update (as rumored by leaker NateTheHate).
- Story DLC or a remake announcement.
- Something big from Rockstar Games.
Instead? The big news was… a cast reunion at the National Gaming Expo in Tampa (August 8-10, 2025).
Why Fans Feel Let Down
- The actors’ vague, hype-building teases led many to expect game-related news.
- Recent leaks about a 60fps patch made hopes even higher.
- Some fans now wonder if the timing was intentional or just unfortunate.
As one Reddit user put it:
“We’re cooked, chat.”
Was this the announcement Rob was so excited for?

Wiethoff Clarifies: “Not a Rockstar Announcement”
The John Marston actor later confirmed his excitement was only about the expo—not a Rockstar project.
But does this mean the next-gen update rumors are dead? Not necessarily.
- NateTheHate’s leak could still be true (Rockstar hasn’t commented).
- The expo reunion doesn’t rule out future updates.
What’s Next for Red Dead Fans?
While the expo will be a great event for meet-and-greets, players still want:
- A 60fps patch for PS5/Xbox Series X.
- A proper next-gen remaster.
- Single-player DLC (unlikely, but we can dream).
