![]() ![]() But for players that's going to be awkward seeing the animated likeness of a deceased actor with a new voice. Maybe they have the rights to use his likeness in perpetuity and can continue to have Sylens appearance unchanged, but change the voice actor. They could recast, but it would be wrong. That's a tough place for them for the next installment. ![]() But Lance is the face and voice of Sylens and the character can't just change the actor and remain the same character. Sylens is not dead, he's a character in a story. Horizon has a harder predicament because the story line is clearly written around the character of Sylens, he's a vital character to the plot, and it's not going to be easy to change their plans for the third to write out a character that is integral to the plot, just because the actor they happened to cast as both voice and face model is gone. I think they'll remove the character though. Destiny can write out Zavala without much issue, though they can also keep the character and change actors, since the character doesn't look like Lance and adapting to a new voice will just be adjustment for players. It's going to be a hard call for Horizon. Have him die in between the 2nd and 3rd games and then do a tribute for him early on in the game that acts as one for the actor and character together. It sucks, as he was going to have a large role in the 3rd game and he is a central character, but unfortunately he died, so it would be fitting to kill off the character as well. It would be way too weird to have him look like Lance, but sound different. It's obvious they didn't do work on it yet, so they would have to recast him and somehow change his look as well. ![]() I'm sure somebody else could have explained it even better than me, but I'm also for them just writing him out of the 3rd game now. The actors were replaced because they either wanted a change or the actors themselves chose to move on, not because they died like Lance Reddick. Mon 27th Mar It's quite a bit different given that James Bond has been a character that has been redone and rebooted many times over with different actors and stories, while Sylens is a character from two video games that was not only voiced by the actor, but also looks exactly like the voice actor.The character may even play a larger role yet, but we will need to wait until Burning Shores' 19th April release to find out. In terms of Horizon Forbidden West's upcoming Burning Shores DLC, we learnt in this trailer that Sylens would, in fact, be returning, if only to give Aloy her inciting quest. For nearly a decade, Guardians around the world have found purpose and comfort in Zavala’s presence, bolstered by that unmistakable voice, so full of strength, serenity, and nobility." The studio summed up Reddick's impact in that series quite succinctly, writing that "Lance brought to life a character who has become virtually synonymous with Destiny itself. Reddick's legacy will live on in Destiny 2, with Bungie stating that it plans to "honour his presence through his performances yet to come in the game" in a blog post. Last week brought news of the tragic passing of actor Lance Reddick, perhaps best known in the realm of video games for his iconic role as Commander Zavala in both Destiny and Destiny 2, as well as the enigmatic Sylens in Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden Westĭevelopers and fans from both communities have since gathered to pay their respects. ![]()
