Famed voice actor and Critical Role GM Matt Mercer will be joining Warframe\u2019s <\/em>impressive voice cast, Digital Extremes confirmed during TennoCon 2026. He\u2019s voicing Brysko, the newest playable warframe and a noir-themed detective character.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Brysko took center stage during the Warframe: Tau<\/em> demo shown off at TennoCon. After the player flies to Tau in a giant humanoid vessel at the start of the demo, it cuts to Albrecht Entrati repairing Brysko, who quickly equips gauntlets that make him good at swift close-range combat. Brysko then sets off on a secret mission in the city of Fornax. This mission brings him face to face with Hunra, the Sentient ruler of Tau, and sees him get into quite a few fights along the way.<\/p>\n We get a brief look at a casino that players will be able to visit and play minigames in, including a card game that Hunra challenges Brysko to. Brysko also appears to be in some sort of relationship with the casino\u2019s lounge singer, although the importance of that is still a bit of a mystery.<\/p>\n Like a detective in a classic noir film, Brysko’s inner monologue essentially becomes the narration that drives the story forward during all of this. As such, it\u2019s clear that Mercer\u2019s performance will be a very important part of the Tau <\/em>expansion. It also pays off Warframe <\/em>creative director Rebecca Ford\u2019s efforts to get Mercer into Warframe <\/em>in a role like this for some time, as she consistently encountered him at The Game Awards over the years.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you spend enough time here in London, Ontario, you start to get really isolated-feeling, and you never really get a chance to meet your heroes. Once a year, we go to The Game Awards, and every year I meet Matt, and I\u2019m always like, ‘Can we please do something?’\u201d Ford tells Polygon. \u201c\u2018I\u2019m not in LA, I\u2019m never here, it would just be a dream come true. I have the perfect piece of Warframe <\/em>mythos for you to put your mark on as a brand new character.\u2019 It just finally worked out after they let us out of Canada for just one day a year.\u201d<\/p>\n While Ford downplays what it takes to get actors like Matt Mercer into Warframe<\/em>, community director Megan Everett compared Ford\u2019s voice-actor recruitment talent to Thanos gathering the Infinity Stones in Avengers: Infinity War<\/em>.<\/p>\n Everett also had great things to say about Mercer\u2019s work with Critical Role and in games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the greatest thing about it is that it\u2019s all organic, having to just be in the right place or know someone who knows someone,\u201d Everett said. \u201cThere\u2019s just really fun, crazy moments that transpire, that result in these really cool experiences. I don\u2019t know how we keep getting away with it, but the fact that we have the Infinity Stones of people we love, appreciate, and respect in this industry in our game has been rewarding, and I hope people really enjoy Matt Mercer.\u201d<\/p>\n Matt Mercer comes to Warframe<\/em> <\/em>as part of the Tau <\/em>expansion, which will launch in 2026.
