Following the recent passing of Lance Reddick, Bungie announced in a recent blog post that the company would continue to feature the late actor in future Destiny 2 content. Bungie stated that they would “honor his presence through his performances yet to come in the game.”

In the most recent “This Week at Bungie” blog post that the studio releases to update the Destiny 2 community on current events, an entire section was dedicated to Reddick, citing his character, Zavala, as “virtually synonymous with Destiny itself.” The section also mentions the gathering of Destiny 2 players around Zavala at the Tower after news of Reddick’s passing.

Here’s the full statement from Bungie:

On Friday, we all learned of the tragic news of Lance Reddick’s passing at the age of 60. As the voice of Commander Zavala—the stalwart commander of the Vanguard—Lance brought to life a character who has become virtually synonymous with Destiny itself. For nearly a decade, Guardians around the world have found purpose and comfort in Zavala’s presence, bolstered by that unmistakable voice, so full of strength, serenity, and nobility.

The tributes that have poured in for Lance have been overwhelming; from endless heartfelt messages on social media to impromptu gatherings of respect in Zavala’s corner of the Tower, overlooking the Last City. As an actor, musician, gamer, and family man, the passion Lance brought to the things he loved was reflected in the eyes and hearts of all who loved him.

For now, we will honor his presence through his performances yet to come in the game, and in the memories that will last us a lifetime. We are deeply saddened by his passing but so thankful for the time we spent together, and our thoughts are with his friends and loved ones.

Thank you for everything, Lance. We will miss you.

Bungie doesn’t specifically state any details regarding the future appearances of Reddick as Zavala, but once we learn more, we’ll be sure to keep you informed.
