The passionate developers of the Bionicle: Quest For Mata Nui fan game have revealed that Tony Wedgwood, the narrator for the original Bionicle commercials, will be lending his iconic voice to the project. A trailer for this intriguing game based on LEGO's best selling toy line from the 2000s hit the internet earlier this year, catching the eye of players with fond memories of the buildable figures and the deep, expansive lore surrounding them.
Some of these fans were wowed by the surprising level of polish and graphical detail featured in the brief trailer for Bionicle: Quest For Mata Nui, which showed off lovingly rendered locations and character models that look just like the toys. Others enthusiastically welcomed the opportunity for new Bionicle media, as this non-profit fan game follows a failed relaunch back in 2015, at which point the line went into a long dormancy with only a brief mention in The LEGO Movie in 2014. The once-successful LEGO IP spawned its own DC Comics series, four direct-to-DVD animated films, and a number of video games that predated Traveler's Tales' line of LEGO titles. Now, an epic Bionicle: Quest For Mata Nui announcement will take fans back to the franchise's glory days.
When Avatar: The Last Airbender's Unofficial Fan Game Releases [UPDATED]
CrainyCreations, Bionicle: Quest For Mata Nui's development team, posted a new trailer for the game on YouTube earlier today, one that opened with the unmistakable voice of Tony Wedgwood narrating in the same way he did for the original Bionicle TV spots. Afterward, one of the game's developers speaks about how thrilled the team is to have Wedgwood involved with Quest For Mata Nui, noting that he even recorded his lines for free (being a non-profit fan game) and that his voice will be featured both in the game and in promotional material.
From 2001 to the first Bionicle toy line's end in 2010, fans have thrilled to the sound of Tony Wedgwood's deep and mystical voice as he helped tell the story of six legendary heroes known as Toa and their quest to defeat the evil Makuta and restore peace to their world by awakening the Great Spirit Mata Nui. While other voice actors lent their talents to Bionicle's various promotional materials, it is Wedgwood that many fans associate with the line due to his long-standing presence in the commercials that aired on TV - even as the brand itself changed and evolved over the years it was active by adding new locations and characters to its ever-expanding mythos.
As such, getting to hear Tony Wedgwood lend his memorable narration to Bionicle: Quest For Mata Nui is an exciting prospect to fans who grew up with the customizable LEGO toys of old. The fact that he was willing to work on the game for free speaks to his passion for Bionicle even a good decade after he recorded his last commercial, as well as the love and devotion that CrainyCreations is putting into their fan-made passion project. So far, there is no word on when Bionicle: Quest For Mata Nui will be released, so fans should stay tuned for new developments as they unfold.
