Destiny 2 Players Paying Tribute To Lance Reddick’s Commander Zavala In-Game

The sudden loss of actor Lance Reddick yesterday has left countless whether in the destiny 2 community or not speechless, but already memorials are taking place online. Soon after the news of Reddick’s passing, Destiny 2 players flocked to the game’s hub where the character he voiced for the past decade is still standing and has been honoring his memory and work.

In case you missed it, We too were shocked by the terrible news earlier today that Reddick has passed away, aged 60. The prolific actor is known for a large variety of high-profile roles across film, TV, and video games, just some of which include The Wire, John Wick, Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West, Quantum Break, and the Destiny franchise.

Reddick made waves across TV starring in shows like The Wire and Fringe and is perhaps most recently known for his supporting role as Charon in the John Wick series. In the world of games, he also played Commander Zavala, the stalwart leader of The Last City and its Guardians in Destiny. Zavala has, over the years, grown from a by-the-by commander into a fixture of the game, a fan-favorite character, and a sort of father figure to many, due in no small part to Reddick’s incredible performance, which has seen the character through momentous personal highs and lows. Earlier today, Bungie released a statement on Reddick’s passing, writing he was, “an iconic presence on screen” as well as someone who “radiated kindness that touched those around him.”

Rest in Peace Lance Reddick from Gamebudd
