David Suchet to voice Poirot
The Adventure Company recently announced that David Suchet has been signed to provide voiceovers for Hercule Poirot in three upcoming Agatha Christie games, beginning with this year's Murder on the Orient Express.
This signing is significant for the franchise, as the acclaimed British actor has portrayed Christie's eccentric Belgian detective in more than fifty television appearances, and there are many who consider him to be the definitive Poirot. DreamCatcher CEO Richard Wah Kan expressed his enthusiasm by saying, "When players step into our games, we want them to become fully immersed in the excitement and adventure of solving an Agatha Christie-style mystery and the addition of Mr. Suchet's distinctively recognizable voice will certainly heighten that element."
But while Suchet will provide the voice, players must still provide the little grey cells. In Murder on the Orient Express, players won't control Poirot himself, as the detective is injured and bedridden aboard the luxury train. However, he will provide his wisdom and guidance throughout the game to help solve the murder.
