A few days ago we learned the sad news of the passing of Lance Reddick. The famous actor, present in series like The Wire or Fringe, was also known in the video game world for his participation in titles like Horizon: Forbidden West and especially Destiny 2.
In Bungie’s title, Reddick played the character of Zavala, one of fan-favorite characters. Fans paid various tributes to this character after the news and left some great scenes.
Bungie will continue to bet on the Zavala character
But this isn’t the last we’ll see Zavala, as Bungie has confirmed that future Destiny content will continue to feature the character. And without hiring a new actor, as existing footage will be used for future performances.
For now, we’ll be honoring his presence through his upcoming in-game appearances and memories that will last a lifetime. We are deeply saddened by his passing but very grateful for the time we have spent together and our thoughts are with his friends and family.
This role has been one of Reddick’s most acclaimed in the gaming world, with Zavala being a very popular character in the community. Bungie will honor the actor’s memory with what he loved to do.
