Bethesda Softworks has announced the voice talent for the highly-anticipated The Elder Scrolls Online, which arrives April 4, 2014 on PC and Mac and in June 2014 for PlayStation®4 and Xbox One®.

A cast of higher pedigree would be difficult to find. It includes Academy Award nominee John Cleese (“A Fish Called Wanda,” “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”), Golden Globe winner Bill Nighy (“Pirates of the Caribbean”), Kate Beckinsale (“The Aviator,” “Pearl Harbor”), Alfred Molina (“Spider-Man 2”), Golden Globe nominees Sir Michael Gambon (“Harry Potter”) and Malcolm McDowell (“A Clockwork Orange”), Peter Stormare (“Fargo”) and Jim Ward (“WALL•E,” “Despicable Me 2”). Further, Lynda Carter (“Wonder Woman”) will return to the Elder Scrolls series to reprise her role from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. 

“This extraordinary group of actors helps bring the distinctive characters in The Elder Scrolls Online to life,” said Matt Firor, game director of The Elder Scrolls Online. “In The Elder Scrolls tradition, we sought world class talent to add a deep and enriching component to the immersive world the series offers players.”

The Elder Scrolls Online will bring the award-winning franchise online for the first time and has been named one of 2014’s most anticipated titles. Players can choose to play alone as in previous Elder Scrolls games, explore the massive game world with a few friends, or join with hundreds of others in massive PvP battles to save the Empire.
