Capcom enlists Ron Perlman for Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, hopefully pays him more than he got for Fallout 1

1 Share

Fallout and Hellboy star Ron Perlman is teaming up with Capcom again to introduce you to Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen.

Despite being best known for his myriad film and TV roles, Perlman is a pretty prolific voice actor, especially in games. His most famous contribution is to the Fallout series, where he serves as the narrator in multiple games, as well as the TV anchor that announces the bombs dropping in Fallout 4. Notably, he had no clue the series would be a success, saying that he was caught off guard when he heard there was a sequel coming, as he recalls working on the first entry as "I did a couple of lines, and, you know, got my $40 and my sandwich and went home."

And while never appearing in a Capcom game, Perlman did appear in 2020's Monster Hunter film, wearing an extremely anime-looking wig that did not suit his demeanor in the slightest. Capcom is clearly happy with that collab, as it has announced it'll be teaming up with Perlman to introduce players to Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen.

Perlman will be narrating a "new video sharing a brief glimpse at what awaits in Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen," with Perlman lending "his voice to guide us through Norgan and beyond," with the video set to debut later today (October 7, 2026 at 3pm PT | 6pm ET | 11pm BST) ahead of its launch on October 9, 2026.

While this may seem like a somewhat random collab, it actually mirrors a video Capcom released at the launch of the base game, with John Wick and Kung Fu Panda star Ian McShane serving as narrator. And unless I missed something, McShane does not feature as a voice actor in the game, and I don't believe Perlman is pegged to be part of the Dark Arisen cast either. But let's hope he got more than $40 and a sandwich to do this video at least.

Dragon's Dogma 2 update finally gives the RPG the performance boost it desperately needed, and it's so good that it's even lowered the PC system requirements

Casually Classic: Five more World of Warcraft Forever features that look amazing

1 Share
Hey! It’s October, and as I write this, it’s exactly one month until World of Warcraft Forever launches. The discussion emerging from the beta is strong and near-inescapable, although I do try to limit how much I’m partaking in all of these impressions and spoilers. Guilds are forming, individual plans are settling into place, and […]

Lynchian noir mystery Silver Pines takes the best bits from horror, the middling bits from Metroidvanias, and the worst bits from adventure games

1 Share

I want, and not even especially deep down, to like Silver Pines more than I do. Wych Elm’s debut game – a Twin Peaks-inspired, neo-noir detective mystery that quickly repaints itself in survival horror red – is endearingly unusual, an angular mishmash of different genre staples that, nonetheless, stays coherently glued together by its expressively moody visual style and an intriguing missing-person tale.

It’s just... well, put it this way. I’m only about three hours in, and if I have to backtrack my slouching private dick through one more thicket of locked doors and collection puzzles, the next crime he’ll be investigating will be the aggravated assault of a desktop monitor.

Star Wars Galactic Racer introduces "the best Glup Shitto ever," fans say

1 Share

The hierarchy of power in the Glup Shittoverse is about to change as Star Wars: Galactic Racer's Biddy Blas is proving to be an incredibly obnoxious fan favorite.

Even as someone who saw The Rise of Skywalker and had my interest in anything Star Wars immediately leave my body due to how bad it was… I still love all of the little freaks found in the world. The Salacious B Crumb, Sy Snootles, Klaud. And thanks to the joys of podracing, Star Wars: Galactic Racer is prime Glup Shitto territory, with one of the all-time greats – racing legend Ben Quadinaros – returning to the fray.

However, even with the return of the most beloved and iconic Star Wars character ever conceived, a new contender to the throne has emerged in the form of an original character built specifically for Galactic Racer, Biddy Blas. Now, Mr. Blas has the appearance of a stout little guy with an alligator face wearing a sick racing helmet, which is already a banger, but his true claim to being peak comes when he speaks.

Mr. Biddy Blas speaks in Huttese in an incredibly obnoxious tone. You can't understand what this guy is saying without subtitles and you just know he's the worst. Hell, he can (and will) blow up your vehicle for fun if you let him. And yet there's something so entrancing about him.

Naturally, fans were quick to take to him, with one Twitter user saying "everyone meet Biddy Blas your new favourite Glup Shitto from Galactic Racer," while others are already answering him as their all-time favorite – calling him "the best Glup Shitto ever".

Meanwhile another says, "His voice is one of the greatest voices I've ever heard in a Star Wars thing," adding: "I have to imagine George Lucas would shed a tear faced with someone who perfectly understood his assignment for a change."

Blas is voiced by Richard Summers-Calvert, who had roles in 007 First Light and Total War: Warhammer 3, but may perhaps be better known as British indie wrestler Charles Crowley.

However, the gospel of Biddy Blas was foretold to us. Speaking to GamesRadar+ at Gamescom 2026, Nathaniel Daw, the narrative director at Fuse Games, said that he loves Biddy the most out of the cast, describing him as "a short, angry little alien who just gets really angry all the time. He's a bad loser and he's a worse winner." And I'd say that lines up with the hero we see today.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer Metacritic score makes it one of the best-rated Star Wars games of all time, beating every Battlefront title.
