It has just been announced that Rose is voicing the protagonist of the game ECHO, coming to PC on September 19th and a bit later on PS4 ! A trailer of the third-person sci-fi-inspired action game where you can see Rose at work can be found below.
The developers of ECHO have announced that Rose Leslie, also known as Game of Thrones’ Ygritte, will provide the voice for the game’s protagonist. A new trailer introduces ECHO’s characters, including protagonist En, who is voiced by the actress.
Rose Leslie provides the voice of En, alongside Nick Boulton, who worked as a voice actor on Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, as well as the Mass Effect series. While En is human, Boulton plays London, a sentient spaceship that takes an immediate dislike to En, in her role as passenger.
The game develops as En and London find a bizarre structure – The Palace – deep in space. En quickly discovers that The Palace is studying her, creating copies to use against her that learn from the way you play the game. A stealthy approach, for example, will see En’s copies learn to sneak around, while a more aggressive approach will see your enemies respond in kind.
You can see the new trailer, which shows En getting to grips with The Palace and talking with London, and features Leslie and Boulton’s dialogue. Be warned, however, Leslie might not sound quite like you remember her from Game of Thrones, having shed her wildling accent for something altogether more civilised. (source)

Indie Game Studio ‘Ultra Ultra’ also talked about casting Rose as the voice of their new game’s protagonist on their Facebook page and said some lovely things about her :
Yes, Rose Leslie voices ECHO’s protagonist En! Ever since our very first trailer people have been calling us out on this, which has been great – We wanted Rose for the part precisely because of her distinct voice. She is of course known for her roles in Game of Thrones, Luther and most recently The Good Fight. It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with her on bringing this character to life. Rose’s energy and uncanny ability to be at once vulnerable and bulletproof really fit the character, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the result.
