Marathon got a release date earlier today, confirming a March 5 launch for Bungie’s extraction shooter. The studio hasn’t skimped where voice talent is concerned: actors from pretty much every successful game from the last decade are present, though it’s yet to be confirmed what roles each will play (and how big they’ll be).
Among the biggest names is Ben Starr, nowadays best known for playing Verso in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, as well as prominent roles in Final Fantasy 16 and Hades 2. Starr has won two Golden Joystick awards and garnered several big nominations at the Game Awards.
The voice behind Karlach in Baldur’s Gate 3, Samantha Béart, is among several actors from Larian’s RPG making an appearance. Neil Newbon and Tracy Wiles, Astarion and Jaheira from Baldur’s Gate 3 respectively, will also appear.
