These amazing performances of people who have died in video games are a great way to remember their talent.
In this day and age, it takes years to make a video game. The people who make games often spend a lot of time coding the game, making the cutscenes, and fixing any other problems. Performers are a part of this process, and they often record their lines a long time before the games come out. So, these actors don’t always get to see how their work turned out.
This means that many games have performances by people who have died. Actors finish their work on a game’s voice and/or motion capture, but they die before the final product comes out. Even though this is always sad, it can have a bright side. If people know it’s the last time they’ll see something, they might like it more. They might remember why they liked the performer to begin with.
Mass Effect 3
Zaeed Massani is one of the more powerful characters in Mass Effect. In the second game, the ruthless mercenary joins Shepard’s crew as a DLC character, and Robin Sachs gives him a voice. A veteran of the London theater scene, this actor soon became well-known onscreen and in the recording booth for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, SpongeBob SquarePants, and other TV shows. BioWare hired him to work on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age: Origins, and other games.
He had to be brought back for Mass Effect 3. Sachs was still alive when the game came out in 2012, but he passed away in 2013, just before the last piece of DLC. This is especially important considering how many changes were made to the ending after the movie came out.
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days
Mickey Mouse has had a few voices over the years, but Wayne Allwine was the one who did it the longest. From the 1980s until the 2000s, he played the lively Disney mouse. His roles were in a wide range of movies, TV shows, short films, and games. In the Kingdom Hearts series, where Mickey is a powerful warrior, he is on this list.
Allwine died in 2009, which was a sad end to his career. Before that, he had recorded lines for the DS game 358/2 Days, which came out the same year. Even though the character is only in a few scenes, the game is still about Allwine. He doesn’t deserve anything less for one of his last times as the cartoon character.
Disney Dreamlight Valley
Pat Carroll, a well-known Disney star, was the voice of Ursula, the bad sea witch in The Little Mermaid. She played the part again and again in TV shows and games. Many of these involved characters from other Disney shows.
This is still the case for her last show. Carroll’s voice is used again in 2022’s Disney Dreamlight Valley, even though she died the same year. She only has a few lines, like Allwine. Most of the talk is written down. Still, having Carroll on board helps keep things real. People who play Happy Wheels game probably wish it had full voice acting so they could hear more.
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
Kevin Conroy is what many fans think of when they think of Batman. In many movies, TV shows, and games, he has given the Dark Knight’s voice. The Arkham games by Rocksteady are some of the most well-known examples. Even though Arkham Knight ended the story of the Caped Crusader, that doesn’t mean the developers are done with the DC Universe.
They are going to put out Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in 2023. Batman will have a small part in the story, as the name suggests. Conroy will play that part again. Even though he died in 2022, he was able to finish recording his lines for the expected entry. Fans will be able to hear his unique voice one more time. Even though they’re probably going to fight against the hero, that might make him scarier.
Persona 5
There are a lot of interesting characters in the Persona series. Chihaya Mifune, a fortune teller who sells “holy stones” to people to change their futures, is one of the people in the fifth entry. She basically sells snake oil, but she has such a happy attitude that it’s hard to dislike her.
Miyu Matsuki likes this kind of happy energy a lot. Her career is mostly made up of anime. Sword of the Stranger, the Pretty Cure movies, and Hayate, the Combat Butler are some of her best-known works. Persona 5 would have fit right in, but she didn’t get to see it. Matsuki died at the end of 2015, and the game didn’t come out until the end of 2016.
Battlefield 2042
Michael K. Williams played minor roles in both movies and TV shows. Some of his best-known works are The Wire, Hap and Leonard, and Boardwalk Empire. In Battlefield 4, he played Kimble “Irish” Graves, a role he was set to play again in Battlefield 2042.
He died a few months before the game came out in late 2021, which was too bad. Williams had been working on the project for a long time because it required a lot of performance capture and narration. So, his role stayed the same. Irish was able to keep fighting.
Fire Emblem Fates
Fire Emblem has a lot of lords, so it’s funny that one of the most interesting characters isn’t even a lord. In Fire Emblem Fates, Gunter is a knight who trains the hero. He is a tough teacher because he has lived a long time. For this part, the people who made it needed someone with a similar amount of experience.
Rokur Naya had done voice work for a long time. Some examples are Gatchaman F, Lupin the Third, Seiju Sentai Gingaman, and the Lunar games. Even though he died in 2014, he was still able to finish a few projects. One of them was Fire Emblem, which came out in 2015.
