Joseph Morgan, who joins the UNSC’s ranks as Doctor Halsey’s replacement James Ackerson inHalo season 2, has revealed his love for the games – and the title he played to prepare for his role.
Morgan also dived intoHalo: Reach, an especially eyebrow-raising choice given that Halo season 2 is seemingly set to revolve around the planet of Reach – and its tragic fate.
“I played Halo: Reach right before I shot the season just to get my head back into that world. I dipped into the graphic novels as well,” Morgan revealed.
“I think Halo 3 [is my favorite] but I played those games so long ago. I really loved Reach recently and seeing how it ended… I felt like it had the added sense of nostalgia of coming back to that world.”
As for what he’s currently playing? Morgan – who countsSkyrimas his favorite game of all time – has made the leap from Reach to Night City for his current exploits on console.
“Right now I’m deep into Cyberpunk 2077. I’m so absorbed by that whole thing. I never played it before the new update came out, so I’m just like, ‘This game functions amazingly!'”
