Hey G-LYFE Nation! Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. just dropped a loaded update for all the fans eagerly awaiting Sand Land, the action RPG adaptation of Akira Toriyama’s manga series. You know, the same Akira Toriyama who’s the creative genius behind classics like Dragon Ball™ and Dr. Slump. This update’s main dish? The English VO cast stepping into the shoes of the Fiend Prince Beelzebub and his eclectic squad.
Meet the Voices Behind the Wasteland Heroes
The new trailer didn’t just offer a peek into the game’s storyline but also introduced the English-speaking fans to the voice-over artists who’ll be voicing these beloved characters. Here’s the lowdown on who’s playing who:
- Beelzebub: The voice of Risa Mei brings the Fiend Prince to life. Known for his pranks and love for video games, Beelzebub is putting on his hero cap this time to aid the inhabitants of the arid wasteland.
- Rao: Voiced by John Lipow, Rao is your go-to good guy with a sense of style. Tired of the King of Sand Land’s water monopoly, Rao seeks demonic help to find the Legendary Spring.
- Thief: Owen Thomas lends his voice to Thief, one of Beelzebub’s cunning advisors. His wits are as sharp as his stealing skills.
- Lucifer: The demon king Lucifer is voiced by Keith Silverstein. He’s the big boss encouraging Beelzebub to get off the gaming chair and tackle Rao’s mission.
- General Are and Supreme Commander Zeu: Andrew Lander and Shawn Smith bring these characters to life. While General Are is a consistent obstacle for Rao, Zeu is a mysterious figure that players will learn more about as they play.
