The voice actor will receive the Andrew Yoon Legend Award at the 16th New York Game Awards on 19 January 2027 in Manhattan, followed by a musical set for ticket holders.
The New York Videogame Critics Circle has selected voice actor and musician Troy Baker for its Andrew Yoon Legend Award, a career honor to be presented at the 16th New York Game Awards on 19 January 2027 at SVA Theatre in Manhattan. The group previously recognized Baker’s voice acting at the New York Game Awards.
The circle’s co-founder and president, Harold Goldberg, said in remarks reported by Variety that the award seeks to recognize people who have made a deep cultural impact on video games. He cited Baker’s impact and his previously honored performances.
Baker’s roles span video games, television and film. In 2013, he voiced Booker DeWitt in BioShock Infinite and provided the voice and motion-capture performance for Joel in The Last of Us. Motion capture records an actor’s movements for use in a digital character.
He also played Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, a performance Variety described as award-winning.
Baker is scheduled to perform a musical set after the awards, and all ceremony ticket holders can attend. Goldberg said the performance will be an in-person-only experience.
The organizers listed standard tickets at $85 before ticketing fees, available through Humanitix, and a limited number of VIP tickets at $100, with preferred seating and access to the after-party presented by New Blood Interactive. They plan to stream the awards live on the circle’s social channels and on IGN’s website and YouTube channels.
Proceeds support the circle’s Playing with Purpose program, which provides journalism and game narrative writing classes and workshops in New York City schools and shelters.
The guild will present the honor to the Skydance television executive on 27 February 2027 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
