The ambush was perfect. High above, the air operator’s voice crackled in my headset, guiding me through the dense jungle. Every callout, every warning, was delivered with cool precision, a voice I recognized from countless hours spent lost in other worlds. It hit me then: the talent behind these characters is a constellation of familiar stars.
Highguard, the new PvP raid shooter from Wildlight Entertainment (a studio built from ex-Apex Legends developers), isn’t just about tight gameplay and innovative maps; it’s also a showcase of incredible voice acting. From grizzled veterans to rising stars, the cast breathes life into the Wardens and makes every firefight feel personal. Several voices may immediately strike a chord with seasoned gamers.
Including JB Blanc, the voice of Trader Flynn, who has a considerable history with the devs: he’s the voice behind Caustic in Apex and Blisk in Titanfall, along with Braum in League of Legends. But there’s more where that came from.
Here’s the full list of actors in Highguard so far, with more to be added soon.
Behind the Characters: The Voices of Highguard
Think about your favorite game. Now, isolate the visuals: the environments, the character models, the special effects. Impressive, sure, but strip away the soundscape—especially the voices—and suddenly that world feels hollow. The Highguard team understands that the voice cast is the soul of its game.

Are these the only voice actors in Highguard?
No. Voice acting, like any performance art, is about more than just reading lines; it’s about inhabiting a role. As Highguard evolves, expect the roster to expand. The tapestry of voices will likely grow richer, drawing players deeper into the game’s universe.
Will the voice actors change as the game evolves?
It’s always possible, though unlikely. The sound of a character is as fixed as their physical design. As a game evolves, so too will the need for new characters and narratives. If a character’s story runs its course, that actor will likely move on.
Who is the most famous voice actor in Highguard?
Fame is a funny thing, isn’t it? Popularity can be a spotlight, but the real magic lies in the performance. In this context, Emily O’Brien stands out. Her work in Death Stranding and as Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series made her a star, her talent is undeniable.
The actor’s instrument is their voice. And what these artists do with it is nothing short of alchemy. They are the conduits for bringing digital characters into palpable existence. These performers are, in effect, the game’s nervous system.
