The English cast of Echoes of Aincrad pairs a customizable, silent protagonist with a small group of fully voiced companions and one antagonist. English voice production is handled by Studiopolis, and the party you travel with carries the bulk of the spoken dialogue through the early floors of Aincrad.
Quick answer: Jessica Peterson voices Iori, Kimberly Ann Campbell voices Argo, Keiran Reigan voices Zash, Kylen Deporter voices Wyzeman, and Rebecca Wang voices Saayu. Your own protagonist is created in the character editor and is not voiced by a named actor.

Who each voice actor plays
Jessica Peterson as Iori
Iori is a sword-and-shield companion created specifically for Echoes of Aincrad and the character you spend the most time with. A solo player at heart, Iori taught your protagonist the basics of Sword Art Online back in the beta test and stays at your side through the opening floors. With 402 lines across 89 scenes, this is by far the most-present voice in the story.
Kimberly Ann Campbell as Argo
Argo, nicknamed “Argo the Rat,” is the series’ returning information broker and a familiar face from the original Sword Art Online. She fights with a dagger and trades in rumors, including a tip-off about a “mystery monster” on the floor. Her role runs to 118 lines across 22 scenes.
Keiran Reigan as Zash
Zash is a two-handed swordsman who looks out for his allies. He joins your group while you are searching for another member to round out the raid party, and his dialogue leans toward encouragement during tougher fights.
Kylen Deporter as Wyzeman
Wyzeman is a polite, level-headed party member who has been with you since the beta test and carries a mace and shield. A lore enthusiast, he is the one who admits to leaving you behind after an ambush scatters the group, and he has no time for streamers who profit from other players’ deaths. His story appearance is brief at 17 lines in a single scene.
Rebecca Wang as Saayu
Saayu is the cheerful heart of the party and another companion from the beta test. She keeps morale up as the floors grow more dangerous and is the one glad the group came together. Her presence is small at 18 lines across 2 scenes.
The protagonist and unconfirmed roles
The protagonist is your own custom-built avatar. You design the character in the creator and then set out with your party to clear Sword Art Online, so there is no named actor attached to the lead. This is the first game in the franchise to place players in the role of their own character rather than an established one such as Kirito or Asuna, who are only referenced in the framing and the character editor.
Two named characters do not have a confirmed English voice actor. Cal is a renowned solo clearer, known for clearing the High Elven Ruins alone, who fights with a rapier and joins the front-line group forming for the Floor 1 boss raid. Stella is the story’s antagonist, a player-killer who streams her murders for an audience while hunting others for loot and “content.”
Release and platforms
Echoes of Aincrad is an action-RPG in the Sword Art Online franchise, based on the light novels by Reki Kawahara and illustrated by abec. It launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, with the North American and European release on July 10, 2026, and the Japanese release on July 9, 2026. You can find edition details and pre-order options on the official game page.
The cast will be most familiar to players once the party comes together, since Iori and Argo carry the majority of the spoken story while the remaining companions appear in shorter, focused scenes.
