Key Takeaways
- The late Lance Riddick will be replaced as the voice of Sylens in LEGO Horizon Adventures.
- Riddick passed away in March 2023.
- It’s unclear who will play Sylens in the upcoming game.
As a dedicated fan who grew up with Lance Riddick’s captivating performances, I must say I am both saddened and intrigued by the news of his replacement as Sylens in LEGO Horizon Adventures. The character of Sylens was one of the most enigmatic and engaging in the Horizon series, and Lance Riddick’s performance brought him to life with a cerebral and sometimes sinister tone that left us questioning our trust in him.
In the LEGO Horizon Adventures game, it’s been announced that Lance Riddick, who played Sylens in the original two games, will no longer voice the character. Sylens was a significant figure in those games, acting as both an enigmatic and dubious ally to Aloy while working towards his own goals from the shadows. His performance by Lance Riddick, which conveyed a thoughtful and occasionally ominous tone, left many players (and Aloy) wondering if they could trust him as he helped unravel the numerous mysteries in the Horizon universe.
Regrettably, Lance Reddick, known for his roles in the Horizon and Destiny series, passed away in March 2023 at age 60 due to coronary artery disease and atherosclerotic heart disease. His fans honored him through special in-game events and tribute artwork, while Guerrilla Games paid their respects with a homage in the Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores DLC. Keith David took over as Commander Zavala in Destiny 2, but it’s unclear how Guerrilla Games will handle Reddick’s character, Sylens, going forward.
With the question addressed concerning the forthcoming LEGO Horizon Adventures, Guerrilla Games Senior World Artist Lucas Bolt has disclosed to IGN that Sylens will have a new voice actor in this spin-off. However, the identity of the actor replacing the cherished role is yet to be revealed. Bolt also mentioned that the team behind the Horizon series still holds Lance Reddick in high regard for his exceptional portrayal of the pivotal character Sylens in Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West.
Sylens Is Getting a New Actor in LEGO Horizon Adventures
Since Lance Riddick, who played Sylens, passed away, it was necessary for Guerrilla Games and Studio Gobo to recreate the character for the continuation of the Horizon storyline. However, some players might have anticipated that they would reuse dialogue from earlier games for LEGO Horizon Adventures, a retelling of Horizon Zero Dawn’s story in the familiar, family-friendly style of Traveler’s Tales’ LEGO series. Contrarily, actors like Ashly Burch (Aloy), JB Blanc (Rost), John Macmillan (Varl), and John Hopkins (Erend) are reprising their roles in LEGO Horizon Adventures.
In Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West, Lance Riddick’s portrayal of Sylens left quite an impression on many fans, making it challenging for any future voice actor to match his performance. As of now, we don’t know if the new voice actor in LEGO Horizon Adventures will permanently take over the role, but there’s a chance it could happen. Given that Horizon Forbidden West ended with a cliffhanger, suggesting a possible Horizon 3, and Guerrilla Games working on a live-service multiplayer game called Horizon Online, there’s definitely room for more Sylens appearances in the future.
