FULL STORY
======================================================================

According to Bungie, the late Lance Reddick will live on in the form of 
yet-to-be-released voicework for Destiny 2 . 

The Destiny 2 developers made a statement about Reddicks passing in a recent 
blog post : "As an actor, musician, gamer, and family man, the passion Lance 
brought to the things he loved was reflected in the eyes and hearts of all 
who loved him. For now, we will honor his presence through his performances 
yet to come in the game, and in the memories that will last us a lifetime." 

It looks like, before he passed, Reddick recorded more lines for Zavala which 
are set to release in future content patches. In a touching tribute to 
Reddick, players throughout Destiny 2 have been holding gatherings in Zavalas 
corner of the Tower (Destiny 2s player hub). 

Reddick played the iconic Commander Zavala, the stoic Vanguard Commander of 
the Last City  humanitys final holdout on earth. Zavala has been a constant 
fixture throughout the Destiny saga, guiding the Guardians  Destinys 
immortal, light-wielding heroes  through trials and tribulations big and 
small. Reddicks steady, dulcet tones brought the character to life in a big 
way, helping convey the stability, quiet confidence and good-naturedness that 
gives Zavala his distinct character. Gone but not forgotten (Image credit:

Lance Reddick was a prolific actor. In addition to his iconic Destiny 2 role, 
he voiced Sylens in Horizon Forbidden West and Thordack in The Legend of Vox 
Machina . He also played Charon in the John Wick films and Cedric Daniels in 
The Wire . 

Reddick lent an undeniable dignity and nobility to his performances, bringing 
a distinctive presence and gravitas to the roles he tackled. 

When I first played Destiny 2 , I chose to play a Titan, Destinys tanking 
class. As leader of the Titans, Reddicks Zavala became a touchstone for my 
experience of the Destiny universe. Zavala embodied the stern selflessness of 
the Titan class and gave me a real sense of what it meant to be a part of 
Destinys world. His distinctive performance stayed with me as I made my way 
through Bungies high-concept sci-fi shooter. 

In the face of overwhelming odds and apocalyptic threats, Zavala showed us 
what it meant to remain calm and to resolutely step up to the challenge. 
Reddicks Zavala is the moral center of Destiny 2, brought to life by a deeply 
memorable and affecting performance that resonates in the hearts of Destiny 
players across the world. 

It is heartening to know, however, that his legacy will live on both in the 
roles he has played and in his yet unreleased performances as Zavala in 
Destiny 2 . To quote Zavala himself: what we have built is only the 
beginning, a symbol of what we can achieve. 

Rest in peace, Lance. Looking to make some great memories? Here's our list of
