The ongoing strike of the voice actors is now also affecting Destiny 2. An important character will initially manage without their voice.
Who is losing their voice? As Bungie stated in “This Week in Destiny” on May 8, some voice actors who provided voices for characters in Destiny 2 are currently unavailable for recordings.
This means that some characters in The Edge of Fate
and Rite of the Nine
content will lose their previous English voice and be given a new voice actor. Affected characters include Ikora Rey. Therefore, if you play Destiny 2 in English, you will notice a change in the voice.
Additionally, Orin and Chioma will be voiced by new actors in The Edge of Fate
and Rite of the Nine
content.
What is the deal with the silent dialogues? Bungie also warns in “This Week in Destiny” on May 8 that some Rite of the Nine
content might be silent and The Edge of Fate
content could play only with English voiceover.
In order for players, regardless of their origin and native language, not to miss any story content, subtitles will be activated by default.
Which languages will be silent and whether the German voiceover will be affected is currently unknown. In Episode Ketzerei, players reported on Steam that they discovered gaps in Spanish and French. However, other players stated that all languages would be affected.
Why are the voice actors unavailable? The unavailability of the voice actors is due to a strike by the SAG-AFTRA union (Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists). The union has been striking in the video game industry for several months.
The background of the strike involves failed contract negotiations between the union and companies that are supposed to ensure a future and fair pay for union members even in times of artificial intelligence. In addition to Bungie, companies like Electronic Arts and Activision are also affected. Shortly after the strike began, some gamers feared that the situation could also impact GTA 6: The publisher of GTA 6 is affected by a major strike – Fans are now worried about the release
