The Veilguard reveals star-studded voice cast – Destructoid

EA has announced the main voice cast for Dragon Age: The Veilguardwith a fairly well-known cast of well-known names.

The Dragon Age Games have always been dialogue-heavy, with big close-ups of fidgety characters with their feet tied up. A weak cast member with a poor performance can stand out like a sore thumb, but it looks like the company brought out the big guns for this game. I shudder to think what the budget for the voice talent looks like.

Here’s the full summary straight from EA’s news blog:

• Ali Hillis (Mass Effect 3, Naruto), returns to battle as Harding the Dwarven Scout, a Dragon Age: Inquisition hero with a big heart, a positive attitude, and a bow at the ready—as well as unexpected magical powers.
• Ike Amadi (Mass Effect 3, Halo 5: Guardians, Insomniac’s Spider-Man) as Davrin, a brave and charming Grey Warden who has made a name for himself as a monster hunter.
• Jee-Young-Han (Perry Mason, without prison) as Bellara, a creative and romantic veil jumper obsessed with uncovering ancient secrets.
• Jessica Clark (True Blood, Pocket List) as Neve, a cynic who fights for a better future both as a private investigator and as a member of the rebellious Shadow Dragons of Tevinter.
• Jin Maley (Star Trek: Picard, Silicon Valley) as Taash, a dragon hunter allied with the Lords of Fortune who lives for adventure and has no problem taking risks.
• Nick Boraine (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Black Sails) as Emmrich, a necromancer of Nevarra’s funeral guard, who is equipped with a skeleton assistant, Manfred, voiced by Matthew Mercer (Critical Role, Fallout 4).
• Zach Mendez (Horizon Forbidden West, Married Alive) as Lucanis, a calm and pragmatic assassin who comes from the bloodline of the House of Crows, a criminal organization known throughout Thedas.

In addition, you can choose between four voice actors for the main character Rook: two male, two female, two North American and two British. Again, to quote the EA blog, they are: “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).”

I don’t really follow celebrities, so many of the less video game-related names are a mystery to me. However, I believe all of them have voiced a character in a game at some point, even if EA doesn’t highlight them. The characters seem to be in capable hands. Er, mouths.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is planned for this year. It will be released for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
