In a recent article by the awesome gaming news blog, destuctoid, they revealed what they believe to be the current list of voice actors set to voice the main characters of the upcoming, highly-anticipated, Resident Evil 5 for Sony Playstation 3 and Microsoft Xbox 360 (and possibly PC – who knows?). The link is located at the bottom of this news post.
Please bear in mind however that this list we have available at the moment is not absolutely, positively, undeniably 100% official just yet and could very well be entirely scrapped at any moment at Capcom’s discretion. However, the current list of characters include:
Tara Platt – Jill Valentine
Richard Waugh – Albert Wesker
Sally Cahill – Ada Wong
Alyson Court – Yoko Suzuki
Michael Gough – Osmund Saddler
Wendee Lee – Rita
James Harper – Ozwell E. Spencer
Dan Cool – Steve Burnside
Notice some familiar names in there? Obviously there’s Jill Valentine who has featured in almost every Resident Evil game to date, but there’s also Albert Wesker who’s role in the Resident Evil series has only increased with every appearance he has made. Ada Wong also returns for another bout of zombie-slaying action but this time it might look as though she’ll be going it alone without Leon S. Kennedy by her side.
What I find most interesting however, is the inclusion of Steve Burnside’s name on the register; you may remember this poor chap who debuted in Resident Evil Code: Veronica (Sega Dreamcast) and later followed by the updated re-release, Resident Evil Code: Veronica X (Sony PS2). I personally found him to be a pretty interesting character when I first clocked eyes on him during his exploits in Code Veronica, and I’m curious to see just what exactly Capcom has lined up for him in Resident Evil 5…
