Those numbers aside, characters in games still tend to be white, casting a shadow on people of color and the LGBTQ community. While The Game Awards awarded Life is Strange: True Colors for its effort, it managed to miss out on celebrating people of color even further. The best performance for the games with the best voice acting performances had four people of color out of the five selected, consisting of Vahn and Akagha for Deathloop, “Breaking Bad” actor Giancarlo Esposito’s dictator Anton Castillo in Far Cry 6, Erika Mori as Alex Chen in Life is Strange: True Colors and Maggie Robertson as Lady Dimitrescu in Resident Evil Village.
