Lance Reddick, the voice actor of one of the key characters in Destiny 2 has suddenly passed away. Players are unsure whether Bungie will now remove Zavala from the game, but the developers are reassuring for now.
Lance Reddick has passed away, but what will happen to Zavala? We at MeinMMO also reported on the sudden death of voice actor Lance Reddick, known in Destiny 2 as Commander Zavala. Many Guardians honored the iconic Destiny fan with visits to the Tower and many condolences on various social media channels.
Many players are wondering, what will happen to Zavala if the voice behind the Iron Titan can no longer speak. Bungie would have to make a difficult choice, either recasting the Commander or removing him from the game with a death.
Bungie has therefore addressed the death of Lance Reddick again in their TWaB and is now trying to reassure you.
Zavala remains in Destiny 2 for now
What has Bungie clarified? In their new TWaB (via bungie.net) Bungie shares their moving words regarding the collaboration with Lance. Bungie makes it especially clear that they will honor Lance Reddick with his upcoming performances and appearances that he completed before his death.
This essentially means that the developers were able to record some things that will find their place in future seasons and possibly also in the final DLC “The Final Shape”.
Will Zavala encounter something in Lightfall? We cannot answer that just yet. Bungie has shown with an unexpected twist in Season 20 that other characters in Destiny 2 can also meet their sudden end. However, it is very unlikely that such an important character as Zavala will not be present at the end of the Light and Darkness saga.
Our MeinMMO author Christos Tsogos thus believes that Zavala could die with a glorious ending in The Final Shape to cement himself as an iconic Guardian and legend in the memory of future Guardians.
What do you think, how will Bungie continue with Commander Zavala? Do you think there will be a recast, or do you think Zavala will be sent off with a bang? Let us know in the comments!
