Ahead of their SDCC panel this week, EA/Bioware have revealed the new, and returning, voice actors for Dragon Age: The Veilguard!
This Friday at San Diego Comic-Con, Bioware will host a panel called “Dragon Age – Meet The Heroic Companions of Thedas,” which will feature voice actors from The Veilguard. Ahead of that panel, they’ve announced the voice cast for the primary characters within the game, featuring plenty of newcomers and familiar voices to boot:
Taking up spell and sword as Dragon Age’s newest hero, Rook, players battle alongside an extraordinary cast of heroes known as the Veilguard, featuring voiceover work from a cast of new actors and returning favorites revealed today.
Our hero, Rook, debuts with four different English voice options – two North American and two British voices provided by notable television, film and video game personalities Erika Ishii (Apex Legends, Destiny 2), Jeff Berg (Battlefield 1, NCIS), Bryony Corrigan (Baldur’s Gate 3, Good Omens) and Alex Jordan (Cyberpunk 2077, The Amazing World of Gumball).
The game’s cast of companions includes:
Ali Hillis (Mass Effect 3, Naruto) returns to the fray as Harding, the dwarven scout, a Dragon Age: Inquisition hero with a big heart, a positive outlook, and a ready bow – as well as unexpected magical powers.
Ike Amadi (Mass Effect 3, Halo 5: Guardians, Insomniac’s Spider-Man) as Davrin, a bold and charming Grey Warden who has made a name for himself as a monster hunter.
Jee Young Han (Perry Mason, Unprisoned) as Bellara, a creative and romantic Veil Jumper obsessed with uncovering ancient secrets.
Jessica Clark (True Blood, Pocket Listing) as Neve, a cynic fighting for a better future, both as a private detective and a member of Tevinter’s rebellious Shadow Dragons.
Jin Maley (Star Trek: Picard, Silicon Valley) as Taash, a dragon hunter allied with the Lords of Fortune who lives for adventure and doesn’t mind taking risks.
Nick Boraine (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Black Sails) as Emmrich, a necromancer of Nevarra’s Mourn Watch who comes complete with a skeletal assistant, Manfred, voiced by Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Fallout 4).
Zach Mendez (Horizon Forbidden West, Married Alive) as Lucanis, a poised & pragmatic assassin who descends from the bloodline of the House of Crows, a criminal organization renowned throughout Thedas.
“Each companion in Dragon Age: The Veilguard brings a unique personality and backstory, with some of the most compelling individual storylines in franchise history,” said Ashley Barlow, Creative Performance Director at BioWare. “The talent contributing to this next game in the series is tremendous – translating stellar writing from the BioWare team into performances fans will find worthy of the drama, fantasy and romance they come to expect from Dragon Age.”
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is set to hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, and PCs later this Fall.
