The "exciting news" Red Dead Redemption fans were waiting for might have been a big meet and greet all along, which is still cool, but not as good as a remaster: "We're cooked, chat"

Us Red Dead Redemption fans have been getting all hot and bothered about some "exciting news" John Marston actor Rob Wiethoff teased while streaming last week. A meet the cast event has now been announced, and while that is pretty cool, it's not the remaster or Red Dead Online update we were hoping for.

The National Gaming Expo revealed the lineup on Instagram, and that's been shared to the Red Dead Redemption subreddit alongside the disappointed caption, "Was this the announcement Rob was so excited for?" This would also make sense given that Arthur Morgan actor Roger Clark also knew about the news in question before, and he's part of the event.
