Actor Rob Wiethoff, who plays the iconic role of John Marston in the hit video game Red Dead Redemption, recently took to streaming the game on Twitch. However, it wasn’t just for fun and games. While interacting with fans, Wiethoff teased some exciting news coming this week. And he couldn’t contain his excitement as he shared that he couldn’t wait for everyone to find out what’s in store.
Wiethoff, who brought the rugged and enigmatic character of John Marston to life, has captured the hearts of gamers and critics alike with his outstanding performance. His quote, ‘Don’t take anything for granted,’ has become synonymous with Red Dead Redemption and has solidified his place in gaming history.
Fans were thrilled when they heard that Wiethoff was streaming the game, and it turned out to be a special treat as he hinted at an upcoming announcement. During the live stream, he playfully teased, “I love secrets, don’t you? Especially when they’re about something really exciting.” He further added, “You all will have to wait and see, just like I am.”

Rob Wiethoff – the voice of gruff outlaw John Marston in Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 – teased that some big news is coming our way very soon while live streaming the first cowboy game.
After 15 entire years, Wiethoff finally decided to pick up the controller and play Red Dead Redemption for the very first time for our entertainment, all while giving us little behind-the-scenes anecdotes. But in a recent stream, instead of reminiscing, Wiethoff took a few moments to tease the audience about something coming in the future.
“I’ve got such exciting news,” he said in the clip embedded below. “I can’t share it with you right now, and it’s absolutely killing me. By the end of this week, hopefully sooner… 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 the only thing I can think about right now, and you’ll know soon enough. I can’t wait for you to know.”
Of course, that could be about anything, but then, the actor went on to say that he “cannot think about anything else, especially playing this game, I can’t think of anything else.”
That last bit gave some fans hope that whatever’s coming next for Wiethoff could be something Red Dead Related or, at least, cowboy adjacent. My best guess is as good as yours, though. A next-gen update for Red Dead Redemption 2 is well overdue, I guess, alongside a potential Nintendo Switch 2 port. That aside, I can’t imagine Rockstar Games has space for a big new project in the lead up to the behemoth that is GTA 6.
