Lego Horizon Adventures Brings Back Sylens With Help Of Star Trek Legend

Following the tragic death of actor Lance Reddick in 2023, Horizon fans were curious about what the fate of his character Sylens would be. With the release of Lego Horizon Adventures this week, it has been confirmed–in that spin-off game at least–that Sylens does appear and is voiced by Star Trek Voyager actor Tim Russ.

A deuteragonist in the games, Sylens is similar to Horizon’s hero Aloy in several ways, as he also explores the secret history of the world following a cataclysmic event that saw machines rise to the top of the food chain. Russ is no stranger to the Horizon series, as he’d previously played the character Jetakka in Horizon Forbidden West. In Lego Horizon Adventures, he appears as “DJ Sylens” (via IGN).

Earlier this year, Horizon developer Guerrilla said that Sylens had been recast for Lego Horizon Adventures, but it wasn’t ready to share details at the time. Several of the original Horizon voice actors are also in the Lego game, including Ashly Burch as Aloy, JB Blanc as Rost, and John Macmillan as Varl. In addition to Sylens, Reddick also voiced Zavala in Bungie’s Destiny games.

Following his passing, Destiny 2 players held an in-game vigil for the actor, and Bungie later announced that his role would be inherited by Keith David starting in The Final Shape expansion.

“Via bricks and minifigs, Horizon is charmingly remade for a younger audience, though its formulaic missions may strain players of all ages,” Mark Delaney wrote in GameSpot’s Lego Horizon Adventures review. The game officially launches for PS5, PC, and Switch on November 14.
