The Talos Principle 2 is a character-driven exploration of philosophical ideas about faith, technology, history, and the future. Without these remarkable people, we could not have made a game about what it means to be human.
Erin Fitzgerald as Alexandra Drennan was the heart and soul of the first game. She returns as Athena, the Founder of New Jerusalem. Because whose voice would she have taken if not Alexandra Drennan's?
Byron is an optimist, a believer in the humanist ideals of Alexandra Drennan, frustrated by the direction his civilization has been taking. He needed the charm and conviction that the amazing Peter Wingfield brought to the part, which was written for him.
Yaqut is a young explorer still figuring out his place in the world and struggling with some of the more difficult sides of humanity. We needed someone who could bring real heart, humor and vulnerability to the part, so we wrote it for Adam Green - and got him!
New Jerusalem's Chief Engineer Melville is a fascinating character, rough around the edges but with a lot going on underneath. She has to grapple with the implications of what you will discover in the Megastructure and Rachel Atkins brought that process to life beautifully.
Byron's best friend Alcatraz does not share his ideas and worries that humanity will repeat the mistakes of the past. We needed someone who could play this less optimistic perspective with warmth and honesty. It was hard to find the right actor, but Ian Porter blew us away.
Cornelius is a pivotal figure in the history of New Jerusalem, a figure of great wisdom and emotional depth, and we approached Sean Branney for this part because we were certain he could deliver. He did, in spades.
Miranda is a mysterious and important character tied to the history of the Megastructure. She sees a great deal of beauty in the world, and we needed someone who could really convey her sense of wonder. Grace Hogg-Robinson was absolutely perfect.
Trevor was a coworker of Alexandra Drennan's. His recordings give us a different perspective of the events at the Institute for Applied Noematics. Who could play this lovable working-class guy? Only the one it was written for: Joe Lynch.
The man who defined the Talos Principle itself also makes an appearance, and casting Straton of Stageira was not easy! Until we heard Howard Ward, who captured the voice of a brilliant, complex man who didn't get along terribly well with the philosophers of his own time.
Lifthrasir is a mysterious, eccentric explorer with a uniquely harsh philosophical perspective. He seems to have preceded you on the island - if you can find them, his recordings may challenge your views on Nature and humanity. David Annen really grasped the character's voice.
And of course it wouldn't be a Talos game without Tim Watson's flawless performance of ELOHIM, whose role in the story is much gentler this time.
This is just a selection of the lovely people who helped us bring robotic humanity alive. We are thankful to all of them and can't wait for you to enjoy their performances when the game launches later this year.

We have previously teased you a little that there might be a surprise at Realms Deep this year, starting September 28 - and by the Ancient Ones, here we are to spoil that surprise for you!
We can now confirm that for the first time ever, you will be able to play a DEMO version of Forgive Me Father 2! It will offer just a little taste of what's coming, with 2 levels, 3 weapons (each with one purchasable upgrade) and 1 special skill for you to experience - we wouldn't want you all to fully succumb to the Madness yet, just to feel its first touch, the gentle pull of oblivion, the dreadful, ever-growing longing of insanity... And to take a first glance at the glimmers of the story of Forgive Me Father 2, which takes place right after the events of the first installment.
Make sure to mark your calendars for September 28! And don't forget to jump on our Discord server to get all the info first-hand!
