Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate is out now, starting the long-running game’s next multi-year cycle of expansions. But while players are diving into the new leg of the story it introduces, they’ve also noticed something very odd about one of its most important characters. Namely, the warlock Ikora Ray sounds an awful lot like villain Savathun. Developer Bungie says it’s working on changing that, but isn’t saying anything about the unannounced — and possibly quite obvious — reason for her recasting. Bungie did not immediately respond to Inverse’s request for comment.
As soon as players got their hands on The Edge of Fate, some noticed the similarity between new voice lines for Ikora Ray and the voice of Savathun, an antagonist in The Witch Queen expansion. It turns out that’s because Debra Wilson, the actor who plays Savathun, also stepped in to record the warlock’s new lines in the expansion. Ikora Ray isn’t the only character to have her voice replaced this way, but the fact that her stand-in was already a voice in the game made it all the more obvious.
