It looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger is finally returning to the Predator franchise after a good three decades, at least for a voice-over in an video game. The famous action hero and former California Governor hinted earlier this week that he might be lending his iconic, Austrian-accented voice to a new, as-of-yet undisclosed Predator game.
Fans of Arnold Schwarzenegger know that AVP: Alien Vs Predator and 2010’s Predators, and would reject another cameo in the 2018 flop, The Predator.
As reported by AVPGalaxy, Arnold Schwarzenegger sat down to discuss the original Predator film during the 2020 Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, Ohio last week, an event that is named after himself. During the , he mentioned watching the movie with his current girlfriend, which spiked his nostalgia for the Predator franchise. “Interesting enough, a week later I was asked to do some voice-over for a video game that is coming out about Predator,” Arnold added. “So it was great that I watched it to get back in that mood again to do the voice-over.”
It is still unknown if this means Arnold Schwarzenegger will be lending his voice to the Predator: Hunting Grounds or a new game entirely. Despite his outspoken criticism of video game violence during his term as California’s Governor, Arnold’s likeness has been used in a number of titles based on his films, and he has even featured in ments for the 2015 mobile game, Mobile Strike. However, he’s very rarely lent his voice to any of these games.
Hearing the Governator himself in a Predator game will no doubt be a treat for fans of the series and 80s action films in general, especially after Mortal Kombat 11. After a staggering 33 years away from the Predator franchise, it will be interesting to see what Major Dutch is up to, especially if he’s teaming up with players to take on the deadliest hunter in the universe.
