Last summer, SAG-AFTRA launched a voice actor strike against video game publishers over a range of issues, including protections against AI technology. Although the union has reached agreements with some publishers, the strike is still ongoing. Now Bungie has confirmed that the upcoming expansion will Destiny 2: Heresy include scenes without recorded dialogue because an agreement with the actors has not yet been reached.
U ažuriranju na službenoj Bungie stranici, studio is onpomenuo da "određene glasovne linije" nisu snimljene zbog štparadiseka. IN tim scenama Destiny 2 will automatically show subtitles so that the story can still be followed despite the lack of voice acting. Bungie also stated that all Heresy activities that do not have voice parts will have a warning before starting. However, it is not clear whether these dialogues will be subsequently recorded when the strike ends.
