Bungie Enlists Heavy-Hitting Voice Talent for Marathon Ahead of March Launch
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Bungie has revealed the English voice cast for Marathon, featuring notable actors from Baldur's Gate 3, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Red Dead Redemption ahead of its March 5 release on PC and consoles.
As the March 5 release date approaches, Bungie is pulling back the curtain on its upcoming PvPvE extraction shooter, Marathon. Recently, the developer dropped its English voice cast list for launch, and the lineup is remarkably stacked with recognizable talent from some of recent gaming's biggest hits. While specific character roles remain under wraps for now, the initial roster of thirty actors reads like a celebration of modern performance capture and voice acting.
Players jumping into Marathon will spot several veterans from Baldur's Gate 3 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The confirmed cast features Jennifer English, who recently won acclaim for her role as Maelle in Expedition 33, alongside fellow cast members Ben Starr and Tracy Wiles. Baldur's Gate 3 fans will also recognize Wiles alongside fan favorites Neil Newbon and Samantha Béart. The heavy-hitter lineup continues with Roger Clark of Red Dead Redemption fame, Dave Fennoy, Elias Toufexis, Erin Yvette, and Jason Spisak, ensuring a high level of performance across the board when the game arrives on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and Steam.
This talent reveal follows a rocky development cycle for Marathon since its initial announcement in 2023. Bungie faced leadership shifts, legal hurdles, and a delayed launch following a mixed reception to early alpha playtests. With a firm release date now locked in and standard, deluxe, and collector editions on the way, the inclusion of such celebrated voice talent signals a strong narrative and atmospheric push for the extraction shooter.
