Dragon Age: The Veilguard actor is “both terrified and thrilled” to voice the protagonist, and says the RPG’s diversity “means the world to me”

As BioWare gears up for its fall release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, one of the cast’s voice actors for playable protagonist Rook says they’re “terrified and thrilled” to be taking on the role.

Erika Ishii, the iconic voice behind characters like Apex Legend’s Valkyrie and Destiny 2’s Anastasia Bray, reveals that they’ve spent “over four years” now recording lines for the new Dragon Age game. Introducing themselves as “one of the voices of Rook,” Ishii explains in a video filmed prior to the strike for protection against AI that “this is the first time that I have taken on the role of a protagonist in a big AAA game.”
