"Death Stranding" kills with its new cast additions, as voice acting heavyweights Troy Baker and Emily O'Brien have been confirmed to be part of the game's production.
This makes the production value of the AAA game staggeringly high with Hollywood stars like director Guillermo del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth"), Mads Mikkelsen ("Doctor Strange") and Norman Reedus ("The Walking Dead") lending their likeness and voices to the game. Now with the addition of Baker and O'Brien, game creator and creative visionary Hideo Kojima appears to see the sky as the only limit when it comes to his new project.
The information regarding Baker and O'Brien was taken directly from a now-deleted Instagram post made by the latter. The post was a photo of her along with Baker, and Reedus with the caption "Honored to be working alongside these two fine lads on [Hideo Kojima's] new project 'Death Stranding.'" This pretty much confirms their participation to the game development where they are expected to voice some of the integral character roles of the story.
The two are no stranger to being part of big AAA video games, in which Baker is popular in the gaming community for having voiced iconic roles such as Joel in "The Last of Us," Pagan Min in "Far Cry 4," as well as Ocelot in another Kojima video game "Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain." It is not yet clear what his role will be in Kojima's "Death Stranding," but fans can rest assured that he will perform with flying colors.
As for O'Brien, she's also made quite a reputation for herself in the voice talent community for video games, in which she voiced Gamora in Telltale's "Guardians of the Galaxy" video game, as well as Camille in "League of Legends." Fans of the two voice actors should stay tuned for official announcements and celebrity posts regarding the game.
No release date has been revealed for "Death Stranding" yet but development is coming along fast and might eventually lead to final version announcements.
