Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the latest game from the creators of the Dark Souls game series and Bloodborne, but while Sekiro is similar in terms of gameplay there is one major difference when it comes to storytelling: the main character is voiced. Traditionally From Software’s titles have all told stories in the background, with silent protagonists, but Sekiro has proper characters. So who are the Sekiro voice actors? Who’s in the English voice cast?
Who is the English actor who plays Sekiro?
The main character Sekiro is played by Noshir Dalal, an American actor who has appeared in quite a few videogames, including Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Metal Gear Survive, Fallout 4 and more. His most notable role in a game is as the wonderful Charles Smith in Red Dead Redemption 2, who was in many ways the conscience of the group. He popped up on Reddit earlier today to thank fans for their support, and hoped they’d have fun with the game. He also thanked From Software and Activision on Twitter.
Very proud to be the voice of #Sekiro. Thank you, @FromSoftware and @Activision for the honor!

What other Sekiro voice actors do we know about?
Apart from Noshir Dalal, very few of the Sekiro voice actors have been revealed so far. The only two we know about are Amber Hood as the voice of Kuro / The Divine Child, and Brian Cummings as the Sculptor. Amber Hood has previously been Soleil / Nyx / Candace in Fire Emblem: Fates, Paddra Nsu-Yeul in the Final Fantasy XIII series, Aliasse in Valkyria Chronicles II, and Sassy Cat in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Brian Cummings has been a voice actor stretching back to 1981’s Spider-Man cartoon, and was Dr. Mindbender in the original G.I. Joe cartoon, Doofus Drake in DuckTales, and Nikolai Stepanovich Sokolov in Metal Gear Solid 3. We’re certain more distinguished voice actors will be spotted as players start making their way through the game.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and the Best of the Soulslikes
It's always exciting to see a new genre emerge. You get that original hit game, the follow-ups and the attempts by other developers to recapture the magic. With the release of Sekiro, let's look back at the landscape of Souslikes so far. -
Demon's Souls
The original that kicked it all off (unless you count King's Field), Demon's Souls went under the radar on the PlayStation 3. Originally, gamers didn't know what to make of it, but anyone who stuck with it got an amazing experience that was unlike anything on the market. -
Dark Souls
By the time a new generation rolled around, From Software had moved from demons to darkness. The Dark Souls trilogy cemented the genre tropes, proving to achieve the popularity that their previous title had only hinted at. Far more than a cult success, these games proved to be influential even outside the genre. -
Bloodborne
Once things started taking off, original Demon's Souls publisher Sony had to get back in the action. Teaming with From, the result was Bloodborne. Taking things was from medieval castles and including firearms for the first time, this was the first hint that this formula was flexible. -
Lords of the Fallen
Developed by Deck13 Interactive and CI Games, Lords of the Fallen takes things in a more Norse direction. Using hammers and axes, you must fight towering gods and demons. After this game's success, the two developers split, with CI working on an upcoming sequel to this Viking Soulslike. -
Nioh
Team Ninja tried their hands at Souslikes with Nioh, a game where you control an Irish Samurai and fight yokai. The game was announced back in 2004 as Oni and changed hands multiple times before release. Originally another PlayStation 4 exclusive for the genre, the game has since come to PC with all its DLC bundled in. -
The Surge
Deck13 took what they learned from Lords of the Fallen and took the Soulslike genre into the future. The Surge has you stomping around in a mech suit fighting uncontrollable robots. Once you destroy an enemy, you can scrap their parts and convert them into weapons for you to use. A sequel is currently set to release in 2o19. -
Ashen
Developed by A44, Ashen puts players into a world without light. Each character is a muted faceless person, adding to the downtrodden vibe of the entire experience. While combat is inspired by Dark Souls, the game also features open-world exploration and novel passive multiplayer encounters. -
Immortal: Unchained
Going even more Norse than Lords of the Fallen, Immortal: Unchained finds you battling the monsters of Ragnarok. Instead of swords and spears, your character uses a mix of technologically advanced firearms to take down each and every mysterious foe. More fast-paced than other soulslikes, you'll need to duck and weave to stay alive. -
Death's Gambit
Pitched as a merger of Souslike and Castlevania, Death's Gambit is also one of the first games to take these concepts into the second dimension. You can choose from seven playable classes as you seek immortality in this labyrinth of death. -
Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption
What if you didn't have to explore a Soulslike? What if you just fought a collection of out of control boss monsters? Then, you'd have Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption. In this game, you start at your strongest and level down as you progress, adding to the challenge.
