Arnold Schwarzenegger Reprises His Role as Dutch in PREDATOR: HUNTING GROUNDS!
Arnold Schwarzenegger's badass Predator character Dutch is set to return in the Predator: Hunting Grounds video game as DLC later this month! To make this who thing even better, Schwarzenegger has reprised his role and is providing the voice of the character!
This will be the first time Schwarzenegger has played Dutch since the original 1987 Predator film. There have been several attempts to bring him back in the films that followed, but it never came to fruition.
EW offers the following details on the upcoming DLC and how Dutch’s story will be worked into the game:
“Starting May 26, players will be able to purchase a DLC that allows gamers to play as Dutch, one of the new Fireteam members, while narration recorded by Schwarzenegger will help shed light on what the character has been up to since the events of director John McTiernan’s original film.”
Jared Gerritzen, Chief Creative Officer at IllFonic, added:
“The premise of it is [Dutch] recorded these tapes since ’87 after the first movie. Throughout these tapes, there are those arrows [pointing to] what he’s doing, kind of like safeguards if he gets killed or captured. These tapes are gonna be used to essentially keep his story going.
“Our team at IllFonic sanity-checked it with me," Gerritzen says of writing Dutch's arc. "We had a lot of meetups, working with myself and the design team, to get this story to be bulletproof because we do weave it throughout the universe. It's not like after '87 [Dutch] went and did nothing to do with the universe. We actually tied it to the universe.”
Dutch is one of my favorite action movie characters of all time, so this whole thing is super freakin’ exciting!
