The Destiny franchise has long fielded a roster of impressive acting talents across both of its main titles, including some of the most well-regarded voice actors and traditional screen actors of all time. Across two different titles and several expansions, there have been numerous big names to step into the recording booth or wear the motion capture suit across the series’ history.
The game’s latest expansion, Lightfall, introduced a whole bunch of new stuff to the game, including a new Darkness power in Strand and a new location. It also introduced some new characters and brought back some old ones.
Given how massive the entire cast list for Destiny 2 is, we’ve decided to focus solely on the characters who appear in the Lightfall campaign.
