Stewart Scudamore, the voice actor for Oongka, is also a long-time gamer. He’s well-known for roles like Blackthorne in Final Fantasy 16, but has also voiced characters in several other popular games, including Calgar in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, Klaus in Lies of P: Overture, and Ai Nengqi in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. Many RPG and action game fans will likely recognize his voice, suggesting that Oongka in Crimson Desert could be a significant character.

Rebecca Hanssen, one of the lead voice actors in Crimson Desert, is well-known for her work on popular recent games. She voiced EVE in Stellar Blade, Olivia Jablonski in Dying Light: The Beast, and multiple characters in Baldur’s Gate 3. In Crimson Desert, she plays Damiane, a character who’s already generating excitement and speculation about the game’s story.

Peter Bramhill, known for voicing Yann in Crimson Desert, is perhaps most famous for playing Thancred Waters in Final Fantasy 14. Over the years and through several expansions of the game, Thancred’s character has developed considerably, allowing Bramhill a rare chance to really delve into a character’s growth. He’s also lent his voice to games like Xenoblade Chronicles, Dragon Age: Origins, and many others.

Emily Barber provides the voice for Naira in Crimson Desert. Though she’s newer to voice acting than some of her colleagues, this role is a great opportunity for her. She recently voiced Galandra, a playable character and the first one players meet in Absolum.

The cast of Crimson Desert is complete with the addition of Alastair Parker as Myurdin. Parker is a veteran voice actor, known for roles like Blackwall in Dragon Age: Inquisition, as well as appearances in GreedFall and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. His skill at portraying complex, morally ambiguous characters will likely be a great asset to Crimson Desert, which seems to focus on political intrigue and changing alliances.

Since Crimson Desert aims to deliver a compelling story alongside its action and open world, a strong voice cast is essential. The game needs actors with experience in RPGs, open-world titles, and stories focused on character development. The cast list indicates that Pearl Abyss recognizes how important good performances are to making a new fantasy world feel grand and emotionally impactful.
