Did you like the appearance of Roger Clark, who plays Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2? You might really like this project!
This one will actually reprise his iconic role in the excellent Red Dead Redemption 2, but not really in the way you’d expect. The man will actually lend his iconic voice to a project based on American history, through the prism of Rockstar Games’ cult franchise.
Red Dead Redemption 2’s most iconic voice is back in action
Red Dead Redemption 2 is undoubtedly a masterpiece from Rockstar Games. Only the highly anticipated GTA 6 can now dethrone it. Among the points that made the game cult was the performance of the main protagonist Arthur Morgan, played by Roger Clark. If the community loved his character, the same goes for his interpreter. He is also ready to return to the service in this capacity for a rather interesting project.
History professor Tore Olsson invited him to portray his character in an audio book called “ The story of Red Dead “. The project is sold as follows: “ a mix of the story and fictional characters from the Red Dead Redemption games with historical elements. With this, Olsson reveals that the excessive violence of the Red Dead universe does not only come from Hollywood westerns. On the contrary, it is deeply rooted in real socio-political problems in American culture. ».
A dark but fascinating time in American history
Red Dead’s History therefore aims to explore American history between 1870 and 1920. In the second work, players were able to follow Arthur Morgan on his adventure in 1899. In the first work we accompany John Marston in 1911 on his search for redemption. Both titles have been praised by historians for their accurate depiction of American society at the time.
The partnership between Tore Olsson and Arthur Morgan’s voice actor is therefore obvious. We’re definitely curious to hear Arthur Morgan again in this rather original project. The audiobook will be released by Macmillan Audio on Audible, Applebooks and other similar platforms on August 6, 2024.
