After 33 years, Arnold Schwarzenegger is BACK as his infamous character Dutch from the very first and arguably the best Predator film!
Players of the new Predator: Hunting Grounds game will be thrilled to know that as of May 26th, Dutch will be a purchasable DLC character and better yet - Arnold voiced the character himself!
What's more exciting is that the voiceover work provided by Schwarzenegger will actually build upon Dutch's story arc from the first movie, as Illfonic's Chief Creative Officer Jared Gerritzen explained:
The premise of it is [Dutch] recorded these tapes since '87 after the first movie. Throughout these tapes, there are those arrows [pointing to] what he’s doing, kind of like safeguards if he gets killed or captured. These tapes are gonna be used to essentially keep his story going.
The Govenator himself took to Twitter yesterday to exclaim how much fun it was to step back into the Dutch role one more time:
Interestingly enough, we almost got a Dutch cameo in Shane Black's The Predator back in 2018, but Arnold turned down the role due to the small nature of the role - Schwarzenegger insisted Dutch deserved a more prominent role (and he himself, a more prominent pay check).
Regardless of the lack of Dutch in The Predator, it's fantastic to see Dutch revisited for Predator: Hunting Grounds!
Will you be purchasing the Dutch DLC? Let us know in the comments!
