In the new expansion Heart of Thorns for Guild Wars 2 , everything revolves around an ancient dragon and its special relationship with a player race.
The US gaming magazine Gamespot published an article today about the voice recordings for Guild Wars 2 “Heart of Thorns.” For US players, the most exciting news: Nolan North, the ubiquitous voice star, will lend his voice to the ancient dragon Mordremoth. After the ghost in Destiny, this is the next prestigious role that North takes on.
Nolan North is so ubiquitous in English-language games that a price category was even named after him: The “Northies” were awarded by a gaming magazine between 2009 and 2012 for North’s best performance of the year. This makes Nolan North a multiple winner and much more often a loser of this trophy. Tough break.
Otherwise, many familiar voices are back. Troy Baker voices Logan Thackeray, Jennifer Hale voices Queen Jennah.
Anyway. The most interesting information for us is that the ancient dragon Mordremoth can only be heard by the Sylvari. All other races only hear “dragon-like” sounds, as it is said. It became apparent at the end of the last Living Story that the Sylvari would play a very special role in “Heart of Thorns.” Apparently, this is taken very seriously by Arenanet.
Heart of Thorns, the first expansion for Guild Wars 2, will be released on October 23.
