If you’re anything like me, a captivating turn-based RPG rooted in a tabletop game is a guaranteed time-sink. I experienced it with Baldur’s Gate 3, and again with Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader, and it looks like Starfinder Afterlight is set to do the same. This upcoming sci-fi adventure promises all the turn-based strategic fun we adore, enhanced by a fantastic voice cast ready to guide you through the cosmos. The recent announcement adds two more exceptional voice actors to the roster, boasting impressive resumes from games like Final Fantasy 14 and Dragon’s Dogma 2.
Earlier this month, Starfinder Afterlight revealed that Fred Tatasciore and Inel Tomlinson are set to voice a dynamic Rocket/Groot-esque duo. The cast of this anticipated space game, under the direction of voice acting luminary Neil Newbon, has now grown even larger with the addition of two more remarkable talents.
A video showcasing the game’s announcement and voice cast was previously released.
Melissa Medína, known for her roles in Warframe: 1999 and Final Fantasy 14, steps into the role of Lu-323, a stealthy android assassin whose persona is humorously shaped by TV dramas, subtly evoking the beloved Murderbot from Martha Wells’ novels. Medína’s previous work includes playing Lettie in Warframe: 1999, a character celebrated for its non-stereotypical Latina representation, a positive trend we hope to see continued in Starfinder.
Joining Lu-323 is Sterling, a charismatic British human who carries vivid memories of a past life, having been miraculously resurrected after a tragic demise. This intriguing character is brought to life by James Alexander, whose credits include Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Lords of the Fallen.

With an expanding cast and superb direction, Starfinder: Afterlight is poised to capture significant attention leading up to its Kickstarter campaign next month. While achieving classic status alongside giants like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Divinity: Original Sin will be a monumental task, the game certainly possesses the vocal talent to forge a memorable ensemble of characters, which is a crucial first step.
Mark your calendars: Starfinder Afterlight’s Kickstarter campaign kicks off on Tuesday, October 7. You can express your interest in the project.
