Destiny 2’s Lance Riddick has more “performances yet to come”
According to Bungie, the late Lance Reddick will live on in the form of yet-to-be-released voicework for Destiny 2.
The Destiny 2 developers made a statement about Reddick’s passing in a recent blog post(opens in new tab): «As an actor, musician, gamer, and family man, the passion Lance brought to the things he loved was reflected in the eyes and hearts of all who loved him. For now, we will honor his presence through his performances yet to come in the game, and in the memories that will last us a lifetime.»
It looks like, before he passed, Reddick recorded more lines for Zavala which are set to release in future content patches. In a touching tribute to Reddick, players throughout Destiny 2 have been holding gatherings in Zavala’s corner of the Tower (Destiny 2’s player hub).
Reddick played the iconic Commander Zavala, the stoic Vanguard Commander of the Last City – humanity’s final holdout on earth. Zavala has been a constant fixture throughout the Destiny saga, guiding the Guardians – Destiny’s immortal, light-wielding heroes – through trials and tribulations big and small.
