An iconic Horizon video game character is being recast for LEGO Horizon Adventures after the actor's tragic passing in 2023.
IGN reports that Lance Reddick will be recast in the new LEGO Horizon Adventures video game after the actor passed away in March 2023. For the unaware, Reddick portrayed Lance in the first and second Horizon games and he has become an incredibly important character in the franchise.
"Lance Reddick tragically passed away in 2023, and he is deeply missed within Guerrilla and our community," Guerrilla Games' senior world artist and LEGO Ideas
"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."
With a third Horizon game in the main series teased, it makes sense not to keep Sylens out of the story and hopefully the team will manage to pay respect to Reddick and his iconic performance. LEGO Sylens has yet to be showcased, but he may be operating the DJ booth at the back of the above image.
The new actor for Sylens has not been revealed at the time of writing. With the upcoming release of LEGO Horizon Adventures on November 14, we don't have too long to find out who will be carrying on Reddicks' legacy as the character unless it is confirmed before then. LEGO Horizon Adventures is available to pre-order now and a preview event for the game has confirmed some exciting new details.
