Roger Clark, the voice behind Red Dead Redemption 2’s Arthur Morgan, has teased an upcoming iconic voice acting role in a mysterious new game. On December 21st, Clark posted on X that he had been given a major voice acting opportunity but didn’t reveal any specifics. He described the unnamed character as “iconic” and said he couldn’t wait to share more details when possible.
Who is Roger Clark?
For those unfamiliar, Roger Clark is a veteran voice actor who brought Arthur Morgan to life in Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2. His emotional and nuanced performance earned him the Best Performance award at The Game Awards 2018.
Beyond Arthur Morgan, Clark has lent his voice to numerous video game franchises over the years. Some highlights include voicework in Smite, Systemshock 2, Back 4 Blood, and the upcoming anime game Evolutis.
Clark has proven his ability to breathe life into complex characters. His breakout as Arthur Morgan put him on the map and opened new doors across the industry.
The Hunt for Red Dead Redemption 3?
Naturally, some fans jumped to speculate Clark’s news may hint at a Red Dead Redemption 3. He previously suggested he’d be interested in returning for a sequel, so hopes remain high.
However, Rockstar has yet to officially announce a third Red Dead, and Clark’s wording doesn’t directly indicate a return. While another entry in the Western series seems likely someday, this news could point to something entirely different.
What Iconic Role Could It Be?
Without more concrete details, speculation over Clark’s mystery role is wide open. Plenty of major gaming franchises have iconic characters whose voices drive the story.
For now, we can only imagine what major franchise Clark may be contributing his skills to next. The vagueness of his teaser indicates a high-profile project likely in early production stages. Of course, it could also be something completely new.
The word “iconic” implies a certain level of significance and reputation. It’s probably a safe bet Clark isn’t talking about a minor indie project. This sounds like a big budget release from a major studio.
Clark seems excited to embark on this new role, so listeners can expect the same top-notch performance he delivered as Arthur Morgan. His commitment to fully inhabiting a character clearly continues taking him to new heights.
Stay Tuned
For now, fans will have to wait patiently for more news from Roger Clark himself. We likely won’t know anything definitive until he’s able to openly discuss the role.
But the teaser indicates an exciting opportunity for the Red Dead Redemption 2 star. Clark has proven his ability to bring gaming icons to life in the past. It will be interesting to see what “iconic” character he takes on next.
