One of the most complex and beloved characters in Guerrilla Games' Horizon series is Sylens, whose alliances shift in his pursuit of knowledge. He's played by Lance Reddick in both Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West, but after the actor's passing in 2023, fans have been left wondering what will happen to the character.

Guerrilla Games has recast the role of Sylens in Lego Horizon Adventures. Lance Reddick, who previously played the role of Sylens in the Horizon series, passed away last March at the age of 60. In a statement provided to IGN, Sony studio Guerrilla said a new actor has taken on the role for the upcoming Lego spin-off.

Sylens will appear in the upcoming Lego Horizon Adventures game, but it won't be the late Lance Reddick's voice behind the character.

Lance Reddick's tragic passing in 2023 hit a lot of fans hard. Gamers especially remembered him well, for his time as Commander Zavala in Destiny 2, and as the mysterious Sylens in Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West.

The Horizon franchise’s pure-fun conceit — smushing dinosaurs and robots together — proved irresistible for Lego.

In the best way possible, something felt different when playing Lego Horizon Adventures as opposed to the countless other Lego games. It didn't feel like a Lego game; it felt like a game that just happened to be portrayed through a Lego lens.
