Recasting Lance Reddick’s Character Sylens in Lego Horizon Adventures
The Legacy of Lance Reddick in Horizon Games
The upcoming Lego Horizon Adventures, a spin-off of the main Horizon franchise, is recasting the character of Sylens after the death of actor Lance Reddick in 2023.
Recasting Announcement
In March 2023, Reddick died suddenly in Los Angeles at the age of 60. He had captivated audiences in roles from The Wire to John Wick, but his portrayal of Commander Zavala in Destiny 2 earned him a dedicated following.
- Lance Reddick voiced Sylens in the acclaimed games Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon: Forbidden West.
- The character will still appear in Lego Horizon Adventures, but a new actor will voice him.
Guerrilla Games Comments
Lucas Bolt from Guerrilla Games expressed that Reddick is deeply missed by both the studio and the community. He assured fans that the character's essence would be maintained.
- “[Reddick] wonderfully portrayed the essential character of Sylens,” said Bolt.
- Ashly Burch will reprise her role as Aloy alongside returning voice actors.
Although future Horizon titles won't feature Reddick's distinct voice, his legacy will remain.
Continuing the Tradition
In an unexpected turn, Bungie announced that Keith David would voice Zavala in Destiny 2, taking over from Reddick.
With Lego Horizon Adventures launching on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC on November 14, fans await further announcements regarding the new actor’s identity.
