GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Casting original game voice talent in new roles suggests the production is leaning on the games' established fan base and creative team ties as it continues to expand the story adaptation. It also indicates the show continues a pattern of bringing in game alumni, which could help maintain consistency with the source material's tone and character work.
