Starfield players discover that Todd Haberkorn, renowned for his portrayal of The Drifter in Destiny 2, also appears in Bethesda's latest RPG. Voice actors play a crucial role in enhancing the gaming experience, with some becoming synonymous with their iconic performances. Recognizable voices like Laura Bailey, Nolan North, Yuri Lowenthal, and many others allow fans to easily identify actors in games. For the expansive RPG world of Starfield, Bethesda has enlisted a diverse range of talented individuals from the gaming industry to bring their characters to life.
Destiny 2 features notable performances from acclaimed actors such as Nathan Fillion, Lennie James, Gina Torres, and more. Despite the waning popularity of the game mode The Drifter oversees, this enigmatic character remains a fan favorite. Todd Haberkorn's portrayal of The Drifter has made a lasting impression on players, particularly as the character expands beyond Gambit and becomes involved in seasonal storylines. It is Todd's distinct voice that has led Starfield players to quickly recognize his presence in the game.
On the Destiny 2 subReddit, a user named R_Da_Bard shared a post featuring a clip of a conversation with a character called Fast Hoang from Starfield. What surprised fans was that Fast's voice, portrayed by Todd Haberkorn (the same voice actor for The Drifter), sounded identical to The Drifter, including his mannerisms and delivery. Todd Haberkorn's inclusion in the credits for Fast Hoang further adds to his already extensive career in anime, film, and TV.
The post quickly caught the attention of fans, who were taken aback by the familiar voice coming from Fast Hoang. Some expressed disbelief, suggesting that the voice didn't seem to match the character's appearance. They either imagined The Drifter or felt that Fast Hoang didn't look as rugged as he sounded. Others joked about the possibility of creating a Drifter mod to align the visuals with the voice. Additionally, fans cleverly adapted iconic lines from The Drifter in Destiny 2 to suit the world of Starfield.
One of the most prominent voice actors in the Destiny 2 community, Lance Reddick, sadly passed away earlier this year. Reddick's contributions to TV and Movies were endless, but it was his portrayal of Vanguard Commander Zavala that had a deep impact on Destiny fans. Even though Reddick's final lines were delivered in Season 21, Bungie revealed that they have chosen Keith David to take over the character and conclude his story. David, who is familiar with the company from his role as Arbiter Thel 'Vadam in Halo 2, will now step into the shoes of Zavala.
Starfield is currently available for both PC and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
