Following the release of an extended gameplay demo for the Chinese action game Tides of Annihilation, a growing number in the gaming community believe that the protagonist Gwendolyn is now voiced by Angela Sant'Albano, who previously lent her voice to Grace Ashcroft, the main character in Capcom's survival horror game Resident Evil: Requiem.
International content creator GermanStrands stated that after watching the latest gameplay demo, he is completely convinced of this. In the comments section of the demo video, many players expressed agreement: the voice sounds very much like Grace, with some even directly claiming that Angela is the new voice actor. Circumstantial evidence further strengthens this speculation. Players noticed that the actor follows the game's official account, and Grace's distinctive vocal tone can be heard in many of the lines. Others participating in the discussion verified this information, confirming that the similarities are striking.
Previously, the game's protagonist Gwendolyn was voiced by Jennifer English, the actress who portrayed Shadowheart in Baldur's Gate 3. In July 2026, Eclipse Edge Studio announced that the actress had withdrawn from the project due to health reasons but would remain as a consultant and assist in finding a successor. The new voice actor has already recorded lines specifically for the demo at Gamescom 2026.
The official name of the new actor has not yet been confirmed, but following the release of the latest gameplay demo, rumors about Angela Sant'Albano have become one of the most popular theories. Adding to the intrigue, Angela will also serve as co-host for the Future Games Show at Gamescom 2026, where Tides of Annihilation will make an appearance. The new voice for Gwendolyn is expected to be officially unveiled at this event.
