The Red Dead Redemption 2 voice actor who plays Javier Escuella says that it was a long and secretive process working with Rockstar to make this new epic Western.
Gabriel Sloyer, the Red Dead Redemption 2 voice actor who plays Javier Escuella, has opened up about the weird and secretive five-year shooting time it took to make the latest in Rockstar’s Western epic. Apparently, when he first nailed down the job, the actors didn’t even know what game they had signed up for.
In talking to Eurogamer, Sloyer revealed just how secretive Rockstar is when it comes to making one of its smash hit titles.
“Rockstar does a great job of keeping things secret,” he said. “You can’t tell your girlfriend or anyone what you’re working on. And it’s five years! They didn’t tell us anything, but we figured it out pretty soon that this is what we were doing, and it was a prequel…”
Sloyer had portrayed a minor character in GTA5 and was eager to work with Rockstar again on another successful game but that didn’t provide much insight into what he ended up reading.
“The first thing we shot was either rescuing John from wolves—which does appear very early, though there was a part with Javier fighting off wolves with a torch in a cave, so it didn’t happen exactly the way it does now—or the bar fight sequence,” he continued.
