The late Lance Reddick has “performances yet to come” in Destiny 2

Bungie pays tribute to the fallen actor.

The late Lance Reddick has “performances yet to come” in Destiny 2, developer Bungie confirmed as part of a moving tribute to the actor.

“As the voice of Commander Zavala—the stalwart commander of the Vanguard—Lance brought to life a character who has become virtually synonymous with Destiny itself. For nearly a decade, Guardians around the world have found purpose and comfort in Zavala’s presence, bolstered by that unmistakable voice, so full of strength, serenity, and nobility,” Bungie said in an update.

“The tributes that have poured in for Lance have been overwhelming; from endless heartfelt messages on social media to impromptu gatherings of respect in Zavala’s corner of the Tower, overlooking the Last City,” Bungie continued. “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.”

Indeed; social media was full of clips showing Guardians surrounding Zavala after learning of his passing (including the image at top, courtesy Tim Clark).

“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,” Bungie asserted. “We are deeply saddened by his passing but so thankful for the time we spent together, and our thoughts are with his friends and loved ones.”

Destiny 2 is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4 and PS5. Lightfall will be introduced into the game from 1 March 2023 here in Australia.
