Star Fox Adventures’ Krystal, and her voice actor, come to Half-Life 2

Over four years ago, developer Gagnetar created a mod for Half-Life 2 that brought in Krystal from the Star Fox series. Gagnetar is now taking his dedication to Krystal one step further. On Thursday, he shared an update that adds original voice lines recorded by Krystal’s voice actor, Estelle Ellis, to the mod.

The mod replaces Half-Life 2‘s Alyx Vance with Krystal. Gagnetar shared a video that shows an early version and provides commentary. In the video, Ellis’ British accent rings through the corridors and blends perfectly into the game. Krystal is shown trying the teleporter in Kleiner’s Lab. In Half-Life, Eli is Alyx’s father. So Gagnetar edited out the dialogue lines where the two would refer to each other as father and daughter.

Ellis was the original voice actor behind Krystal when the character debuted in 2002’s Star Fox Adventures. Gagnetar stated in YouTube comments that she had been in touch with * for many years and decided to get her a microphone so they could work together.

The mod is still in development. Some lines have yet to be recorded and Gagnetar mentioned in comments that he intends to set up another character model. (This version of her has very jiggly boobs.) As for a release date, a post on a Krystal fan site said that Gagnetar plans to release the mod on Sept. 23 — the 20th anniversary of Star Fox Adventures‘ debut.
