The makers of Mass Effect 2 have released an official cast list for their upcoming sequel, and I’m not kidding when I say it reads more like a nerd’s wish list. The voices of Mass Effect 2 include:
Martin Sheen, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Seth Green (Robot Chicken, ftw), Chuck stars Yvonne Strahovski and Adam Baldwin, Halo’s Keith David, and…(drum roll please) Michael Dorn from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Battlestar Galactica stars Tricia Helfer and Michael Hogan and Matrix princess Carrie-Anne Moss.
That’s an entire paragraph of geeky goodness right there. I bet Dwight Schrute just busted out a bottle of his best beet wine over the news. Says Dr. Ray Muzyka, co-founder, BioWare and Group General Manager of the RPG/MMO Group of EA:
“Emotionally engaging narrative is a key design pillar for BioWare, and the top-notch voice talent in Mass Effect 2 helps drive this goal. Credible, powerful personalities are vital to delivering a compelling story experience in BioWare’s games, and we have assembled an amazing ensemble cast that surpasses the very high bar set in the original Mass Effect!”
And so they have. Mass Effect 2 comes out January 26, 2010.
