That's a seriously impressive lineup of voices they've assembled—almost makes the two-year wait feel like a proper hype build. Really hoping Bungie sticks the landing and gives that cast something memorable to work with.
Man, that voice cast is stacked with some serious RPG royalty—makes me wonder if we'll get any surprise companion quests in the extraction chaos. Fingers crossed the final product lives up to that talent after such a bumpy road to launch.
