Lego Horizon recasts Sylens, previously played by the late Lance Reddick

In a statement provided to IGN, Sony studio Guerrilla said a new actor has taken on the role for the upcoming Lego spin-off.

“Lance Reddick tragically passed away in 2023, and he is deeply missed within Guerrilla and our community,” said senior world artist Lucas Bolt. “He wonderfully portrayed the essential character of Sylens in Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West. The character of Sylens does appear in Lego Horizon Adventures, and we will introduce the new actor at a later date.

“Hearing the voices of other original actors including Ashly Burch as Aloy, JB Blanc as Rost, John Macmillan as Varl and John Hopkins as Erend has really brought back the tone of comradery found in the original game.”

As sad as that is, it makes sense if they're going to continue with the character which I assume that they will. I wonder who they cast for the role.

If it ends up being a chick swop, we are banning @Would_you_kindly on the spot.

The loss of Lance Reddick was truly sad. Such a pillar of gaming and entertainment. I hope whoever they recast knocks the performance out of the park, and does justice to his legacy.

People doesn't like but...

In the RE series he made Albert Wesker after RE6 events.

He was absolutely amazing.

The new actor has enormous shoes to fill. I hope he does a good job.
