Destiny 2
FireflyandCastlestar Nathan Fillion confirm that he was ineffectual to return as fan - favored Cayde-6 for the character ’s final coming into court inDestiny 2 . It ’s the last of an earned run average asCayde-6 prepare to be stamp out off in September’sDestiny 2 : Forsakenexpansion . The Exo Guardian has been a mainstay ofDestinyand there is a definite sense of sadness that Fillion is n’t there to see the swan Sung .
While Fillion wo n’t be vocalize the infamous Hunter Vanguard of the Tower for the final prison term , the role will instead be filled by voice artist Nolan North . North is no stranger to being a last - minute plus toDestinyand famouslyre - recorded Peter Dinklage ’s lines as Ghostfor 2015’sTaken Kingexpansion .

Speaking on theKotaku Splitscreen Podcast , Fillion give away that he could n’t yield for one more round as Cayde-6:“I was n’t available for this last installing , it ’s not me doing the voice for Cayde-6 . No , that was n’t me . In a wonderful , amazing turn of event , it ’s actually Nolan North . “Rumors had swirled that it was n’t Fillion ’s voice behind the masquerade of Cayde-6 duringDestiny 2 : Forsaken ’s E3 trailer , but fans now bed that it is North who will ( briefly ) take over the mantle .
As well as parts in the likes ofWolverine and the X - Men , Ultimate Spider - Man , andRick and Morty , North portray Penguin in Rocksteady’sArkhamgames and Nathan Drake in theUnchartedseries . There is a sentiency of sarcasm to the write up considering that North is best - known for voice Nathan Drake in Naughty Dog ’s adventure enfranchisement and thatFillion only just asterisk in a sports fan - madeUnchartedfilm .
Bungie is aiming for a darker tone withDestiny 2 : Forsakenand apparently made the knotty decisiveness to kill off the witty Guardian and his one - liners to steer the story in a different charge . That being tell , Fillion himself is n’t sure that gamers have seen the last of Cayde-6 just yet :
" How do I palpate about Cayde-6 ? I absolutely eff him . How do I feel about that fictitious character death ? I do n’t in person believe it , because he ’s a Guardian . He should be able to amount back . I mean that ’s their whole matter , is that they come back right ? The whole matter is the Resurrection of Christ . "
For the sentence being , though , Destiny 2players will have to deal with the double jinx that not only do they have to say adios to Cayde-6 , but Fillion wo n’t even get to wave him off in trend . It is some small consolation that someone with North ’s reputation has tread up to the plate , but Bungie has miss a magic trick by not being capable to work with Fillion ’s schedule .
A possible reason is that Bungie merely did n’t want to fork out for someone with Fillion ’s cost tag for a relatively short stint . It is no secret that Cayde-6 will bow out early on in the last expansion , so why worry about something relatively nonaged like replacing a voice role player ? Whether North can continue Cayde-6 ’s bequest rest to be seen , but find out whenDestiny 2 : Forsakenis liberate on September 4 .
