Red Dead Redemption 2 fans recently went into a frenzy when Roger Clark, the actor who played Arthur Morgan, shared a cryptic post online teasing “exciting news.” The gaming community quickly assumed something big was on the way—perhaps a sequel, a remaster, or even a new DLC. However, Clark has now stepped forward to clear the air and admit that his comment was unintentionally misleading.
Let’s break down what happened and why it caused such a buzz among RDR2 fans.
What Exactly Did Roger Clark Say?
It all started when Clark posted a message online mentioning “exciting news” coming soon. He didn’t give any more details. But because he’s the voice and motion capture actor for Arthur Morgan—the main character in Red Dead Redemption 2—many fans assumed it had something to do with Rockstar Games or the Red Dead series.
Social media quickly lit up with theories. Some fans thought it meant Red Dead Redemption 3 was in the works. Others guessed a next-gen remaster of RDR2 or a long-awaited story expansion might finally be coming.
But the excitement didn’t last long.
The Truth Behind the ‘Exciting News’
A few days later, Roger Clark took to social media again. This time, he addressed the growing speculation, saying he didn’t mean to create false hope. He clarified that the “exciting news” he had mentioned wasn’t related to Red Dead Redemption at all.
Clark explained that the news was about a separate project he’s working on—something completely unrelated to Rockstar Games or Arthur Morgan. In his words, he didn’t expect the comment to blow up the way it did.
He added, “I understand why fans were excited, and I’m sorry if I got anyone’s hopes up. That wasn’t my intention.”
Fan Reactions Online
As expected, fans had mixed reactions. Some appreciated Clark’s honesty and respected that he took time to clear things up. Others, however, were disappointed and felt let down. For a fanbase that’s been waiting patiently for any Red Dead Redemption-related update since the game’s release in 2018, even a small teaser like this can spark major excitement.
One user on Twitter wrote, “I was really hoping for RDR3 news, but I guess we’ll have to wait longer.” Another replied, “At least he owned up to it. Respect to Roger Clark for not letting the rumor spiral further.”
Rockstar Games Hasn’t Commented
So far, Rockstar Games hasn’t said anything about the situation—or about any future plans for Red Dead Redemption. The company is known for being secretive, and they’re currently focused on the upcoming release of Grand Theft Auto VI, which is expected in 2025.
There’s been no official word on a remaster, remake, or sequel for Red Dead Redemption. While fans keep hoping, nothing concrete has been confirmed yet.
Why This Matters to Fans
The Red Dead series is one of the most loved franchises in gaming, and Arthur Morgan is considered one of the best-written characters of all time. So, it’s no surprise that any possible update related to the game stirs massive interest.
Unfortunately, this time, the excitement was based on a misunderstanding. But it also shows just how much love and anticipation still surround the series, even six years after the release of Red Dead Redemption 2.
Final Thoughts
In the end, Roger Clark didn’t mean any harm. He shared a simple message, and fans filled in the blanks. It’s a reminder that in the world of gaming—especially when it comes to iconic titles like Red Dead Redemption—even the smallest comment can lead to massive speculation.
For now, fans will have to keep waiting for any official news from Rockstar. And while it may not have been the update everyone was hoping for, at least we know that the voice behind Arthur Morgan still cares about the community and is willing to speak up when things go sideways.
