Assassin's Creed Actor Forming New Game Studio | Game Rant
Voice actors forming studios is a rare occurrence in the video game industry. Yet for Assassin's Creed: Origins star Abubakar Salim it's a dream become reality. The voice actor for Bayek is now a co-founder for the new studio Silver Rain Games, where he'll serve as creative director.
Salim is perhaps best known for his work as Bayek in Assassin's Creed: Origins, but his work expands beyond that. He's also the voice of Rokhan the troll, a leading character in World of Warcraft's Battle for Azeroth expansion. And he's also the narrator in 2019's The Bradwell Conspiracy. As for television work, he's recently starred in Jamestown and Ridley Scott's upcoming sci-fi show Raised by Wolves.
Salim's fellow Silver Rain Games cofounder is Melissa Phillips. Phillips is head of studio at Silver Rain Games. Prior to the studio's opening, Phillips was a patron of the Norwich Gaming Festival and prior to that she spent 6 years working with BAFTA in various roles, including the Games Programme Manager most recently.
Silver Rain Games will start with just five employees, but Salim already has lofty aspirations. He reportedly is also founding two production companies to help bring the studio's first franchise to television and comic books. What that first franchise might be is a mystery, but it will be worth watching out for in the years to come.
Silver Rain Games is currently prototyping and seeking financial backing.
