After several recent projects were cancelled, including a Deus Ex game in development at Eidos Montreal, Adam Jensen voice actor Elias Toufexis appears to have been linked to the The characters say goodbye. The good news is that Cyberpunk 2077 fans are already calling for him to play a similar role in the Orion program.
Yes, there’s nothing like making a poor guy sad that he might not be able to play his favorite character anymore, and work has begun on the Cyberpunk sequel, and people on Reddit think it needs another rough internet mercenary. To be fair, who are we to argue?

Toufexis, who has long provided Adam Jensen’s raspy voice, posted on Reddit’s Deus Ex subreddit the other day to thank the gaming community for supporting him and the character over the years. “As you all know, Jason is one of the characters I’ve played and he’s the person closest to me,” the actor wrote in the post. “It seems like I will always be connected to him, which for me very good”.
“Alas, his story seems to be over,” he continued. “I’m relatively certain that the canceled game was not Adam Jensen’s story, so what pisses me off the most about the cancellation is that Eidos’ friends were fired. Video Game Company It’s a weird situation right now. I hope things can be resolved.”
Of course, the response from die-hard Deus Ex fans has mostly been to thank Tofisis for all the work he’s put into the series and his passion for it. Meanwhile, in the community of Cyberpunk 2077 (another futuristic game featuring a dark-haired, bearded protagonist), fans have chosen who they’d like to see the actor play in the sequel character, assuming CD Projekt is willing to add him to the mix.

Morgan Blackhand is a name on many of their lips, and in my opinion, this might be a good choice. If you’re not familiar, Blackhand is a legendary mercenary in TTRPG and the basis of the world of Cyberpunk 2077. As a street-smart pragmatist, Blackhand is mentioned and hinted at several times in the game, but he makes no appearance in the game or in Phantom Free.
Whether the Orion program will change that remains to be seen, but hey, it sounds like it could be cool.
As one cyberpunker on the thread put it, Tophesis is definitely someone who “can convey that Blackhand isn’t as intimidating as Adam Smasher, but is just as dangerous in combat.”
