Samoa Joe looks to be in Deadlock. With Deadlock still not being properly revealed by Valve, there isn’t much in the way of lore or info on each of the charters in the game. But after a tease on social media, it looks like we know the voice actor for Abrams; pro wrestler Samoa Joe.
Some fans had speculated that Samoa Joe, who is becoming something of a regular face in the world of video games, was the voice of Abrams, but until recently there was no confirmation that this was the case. However, yesterday Joe tweeted an image of Abrams, seemingly confirming that he is indeed the voice of the character. Of course, he doesn’t outright say that he is the voice of the character, so he could just be trolling or be a big fan of Abrams, but given the similarities between Abrams’ voice and Joe’s it would be a massive surprise if this turned out to not be him.
While there isn’t a ton of voice lines in Deadlock yet, the ones we do have for Abrams sound very much like Joe, and are generally pretty good. Adding further fuel to the fire is that Joe has previously worked for Valve before, voicing the Juggernaut arcana item in Dota 2 . With many fans thinking that Valve has got voice actors they have worked with before to do a lot of the voices in Deadlock , this further adds weight to the idea that Joe is Abrams.
