Shelby Young and Valerie Lohman lead the new game in the long-running first-person shooter franchise which centers on the teenaged twin daughters of gaming icon B.J. Blazkowicz.

, while Lohman is perhaps best known for voicing the title role in 2017's indie hitfor Annapurna Interactive, for which she earned a BAFTA Games Award nomination."There was a lot more responsibility this time," says Young of taking on a lead, playable role in a franchise for which she's voiced non-player characters in the past. "Something I really liked that we did on set was familial improv to get a sense of what they’d be like as a family unit.

Lohman describes Jess as the "more serious" of the two sisters and carries "a lot of the emotional gravitas" that her father does. "Jess is definitely the more anxious one. I feel like she is a lot closer to B.J. She has a lot of emotional stuff bubbling underneath that never comes out and she worries a lot."

The majority of the game's motion capture was done on-set in Sweden, where Lohman and Young worked closely together. "We instantly bonded because we’re in a foreign country and we didn’t really know that many people," says Young. "I legitimately feel like she is my sister at this point."
