Fort Solis Has Promise Thanks to Its Leads
Fort Solis made its cinematic reveal at Summer Game Fest 2022 with an atmospheric teaser. Fort Solis is a third-person sci-fi title described as a “tight thriller,” which may make sense due to its seemingly intimate cast of characters. The gamecenters on deuteragonists Wyatt Taylor and Jack Leary, who have known acting talent behind them: Troy Baker and Roger Clark.

Fort Solis is a promising new IP due to the acting leads that developer Fallen Leaf managed to snag for the project. These actors were at the forefront of its initial tease, and it seems as if their faces will identify Fort Solis as marketing continues.

Baker was recently involved in a scandal around backing NFTs, but made two appearances at Summer Game Fest to help reveal Fort Solis alongside Roger Clark, as well as announce his role in The Last of Us’ live-action HBO series. Baker is seminally involved in The Last of Us, which is also receiving a remake called The Last of Us Part 1 where Baker’s performance will be overhauled, and adaptive AI will update his animations.
