Horizon Forbidden West has some amazing voice talent in it, and we are sure that you will have encountered quite a few of them before in other projects. Whether it be in games, shows or films, these actors know their craft and it makes Forbidden West so enjoyable.
Make sure to check out the other projects these actors have done, as the other games they have been involved in are great as well.
Aloy (Ashly Burch)
Ashly Burch also voiced Aloy in the original, Horizon Zero Dawn, so if you have played the first game you will already be familiar with her. What you may not know is that she is an actor that has voiced many beloved gaming characters over the years.
She is Chloe Price in Life is Strange, Tiny Tina in the Borderlands series, Sam Hill in Afterparty, Mel in The Last of Us Part II and to top it off she is also in the gaming-inspired Apple TV show Mythic Quest.
Her credits are a mile long, and you will have probably heard her in something before and not realized it.
Regalla (Angela Basset)
She may not be a super well-known voice actor in gaming just yet, but Angela Basset is definitely a mainstay in film and TV. She is best known for playing Ramonda in Black Panther, Reva Devereaux in Boyz n the Hood, Amanda Waller in Green Lantern, and having roles in American Horror Story: Coven, Freak Show, Hotel, Roanoke, and Apocalypse.
Her previous video game credit is a big one as well, as she voiced Aurelia Arnot/Six in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.

Erend (John Hopkins)
Erend was also in Horizon Zero Dawn, so you will be reacquainted with him whilst playing Forbidden West. The voice actor, John Hopkins, is known for his work voicing Lucas Grey (The Shadow Client) in the three most recent Hitman games.

Kotallo (Noshir Dalal)
Kotallo may be a new character in the Horizon games, but Dalal is no stranger to voicing video game characters.
