Destiny 2 community unites in tribute to Zavala actor Lance Reddick
pcgamesn.comThe Destiny 2 community is united this weekend in paying tribute to the late Lance Reddick, who has portrayed Titan Vanguard Commander Zavala in the Bungie space game since its original release in 2014. Reddick, who tragically died this week, is known for roles in TV series including The Wire, Oz, and Bosch, alongside his roles in games such as Horizon and the upcoming Hellboy: Web of Wyrd, and is set to reprise his role as concierge Charon in John Wick Chapter 4, which releases in March.

From his trademark, “Eyes up, Guardian,” to his part in the most recent expansion, Destiny 2 Lightfall – which opens with an impassioned speech from Zavala imploring Guardians to “Keep the enemy away from the Traveler, at all cost” – Reddick’s instantly recognisable voice has been synonymous with Destiny for nearly a decade.
Reddick himself has long been an enthusiastic part of the Destiny 2 fanbase. Over the years, he’s often shared clips of himself attempting to play the game while fighting off the loving affection of his dogs, or taken the opportunity to read out community memes and fan requests in character as the iconic Commander Zavala.
Bungie released a statement on Friday evening that reads: “Lance Reddick was an iconic presence on screen, in Destiny, and most importantly in person. His love for our community shined through in Commander Zavala, in his uncompromising dedication to his craft, and out of the radiating kindness that touched those around him. To say he will be missed is a profound understatement, yet no less true. Rest in peace, Lance.”
