Slave Zero X Reveals Ian Russell As Latest Voice Talent

Ziggurat Interactive revealed the latest voice actor to be a part of the cast for Slave Zero X, as Ian Russell will be on board as the voice of Kurikara. Along with developer Poppy Works, the team showed off some of his work in the game, as he will be playing one of the main antagonists who helped found The Guardians that you are fighting against. You can read about the character and see a trailer featuring his voice in the game, as we’re still waiting to see when this will be released.

“British actor Ian Russell, known for his roles in the heist shooter Payday 2, anime-influenced adventure RWBY: Arrowfell, and grimdark RPG Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor – Martyr, joins the star-studded lineup as Master Kurikara. Master Kurikara is the founder and leader of The Guardians. He once believed that Old World technology could be studied and used to reunite the world, but after a dark discovery, he isn’t so sure. The Master has vowed to lead his band of warriors to overthrow the SovKhan and free the world from his tyranny. He is stern, thoughtful, and most of all…tired. Kurikara blames himself for the rise of the SovKhan he feels a need to atone for his past mistakes.”

“The newest title in the classic Dreamcast Slave Zero franchise will bring a whole new side-scrolling hack-and-slash experience to fans of the original. A satisfyingly punishing game, Slave Zero X sees players fusing with a sentient death-dealing biosuit to do battle against the violent forces of the tyrannical SovKhan. Featuring multiple gameplay modes and a variety of futuristic 2.5D dystopian urban levels to battle through, players will string together brutal combos and fight through waves of genetically enhanced biopunk opponents — all to the tune of a gnarly synth soundtrack.”
