Shadow of the Erdtreehas finally been released and the gaming community is beyond impressed with what the developers have accomplished. It is not easy to work on an expansion to an already great base game, but FromSoftware pulled every string and hired serious talent.
It is not easy to find voice actors but the developers were in luck to bring in Richard Charles Lintern. Despite being in the entertainment industry for quite a while, Lintern failed to realize that his most recent voice-over work is for a video game and the developers had to walk him through it.

FromSoftwaredid not hold back with the latest expansion and threw the entire kitchen sink of omitted content from the base game. Miyazaki had to explain the reason why the developers ultimately decided thatShadow of the Erdtreewould be the only expansionforElden Ringand it greatly involves the pacing and for the gaming community to have a smooth transition from one major project to another.
The developers went all out with the expansion and brought in more talent. Lintern had no clue what the project was about and upon meeting the legendary game director, his people had to explain what it was all about and the process which he briefly mentioned in arecent interview.
‘It’s a video game, Richard. Sometimes you defeat the beast, and sometimes the beast defeats you. We need both options.’ I hadn’t thought about that.”
Voice actors have a wide array of options to work with, others became more prominent with voice-over work for animation, and some gained luck in the video game industry. It must be humbling for Lintern to be in the presence of Miyazaki and offer his expertise in his latest project be his introduction to the world of gaming.

The lines between video games, theater, live-action, and all other formats where acting can be applied are beginning to blur. Lintern gained the experience he needed and could potentially carve a career in voice acting in the future.
It is wholesome to see veteran actors explore different avenues to express their talent. The game industry is giving actors the platform they need to gain even more opportunities they deserve.
Perhaps FromSoftware will consider adding more talented actors in future games. Igon was a great addition to the cast and the world ofElden Ring.
