Horizon Forbidden West DLC now has a lovely tribute to the late Lance Reddick

Following the passing of actor Lance Reddick earlier this year, Guerrilla Games has added a tribute to Horizon Forbidden West’s Burning Shores expansion.

The actor, known for his roles in Destiny and John Wick, passed away in March this year at the age of 60. Fans at the time paid tribute to the late actor by visiting Commander Zavala, the character played by Reddick. nine years old, in the main location he finds himself in in Destiny 2. Reddick, of course, also appears in the Horizon series, including the sequel released last year, Horizon Forbidden West. On Friday, June 23, Guerrilla shared that they had added a memorial to Reddick that you can find in the game’s Burning Shores DLC, which released earlier this year.

“In honor of Lance Reddick, we created a monument to commemorate the profound impact he had on all of us,” read a Guerrilla tweet showing the monument. “Thank you, Lance, for everything you brought to the role of Sylens: your seriousness, energy, wisdom and more. An incomparable talent and friend. We miss you terribly.”

Fans had seen this memorial before Guerrilla shared it on their own Twitter account (thanks, push square), and many noted that they hadn’t seen it in their original games. The monument may have been added as part of the 1.26 update that was released on June 20.

Reddick portrayed Sylens in the Horizon series, who appeared in both the first game and the sequel, an antagonist and scholar who founded the militaristic Eclipse cult.

Destiny developer Bungie also paid tribute to the actor in a post earlier this year, noting that there are still performances from him as Commander Zavala that are yet to come. Reddick was also ready to play hellboy in Hellboy Web of Wyrd, a new game adaptation of the classic comics revealed last year.
