Hoping our friends at Guerrilla choose not to use AI to replicate Lance Reddick in the next Horizon entry ...

Sorta sounds like the Hasbro CEO may not realize Larian is a singular entity among developers.

Two newsletters mentioning Death Stranding ... clearly a sign. Would love to know what Game File thinks of the game. Just beware: Kojima went full-Kojima on the narrative.

Guerilla told me back in June that they casted a new actor for Reddick's Sylens character in this year's Lego Horizon game, so I'm guessing they'll stick with that approach.
