Genshin Impact’s version 5.1 update lacks English voice acting in some areas due to “recording arrangements,” developer HoYoverse has said.<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

Though the patch notes detailing the missing content don’t give a more explicit reason, the lack of English voice over is like due to the ongoing American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) video game voice actor strike<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Due to recording arrangements, some content in version 5.1 does not have English voice overs,” HoYoverse said. “We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.”<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

The strike began on July 26, 2024 with aims to improve the working conditions of voice actors and highlight their concerns regarding AI. It sings a similar tune to the actor and writer strikes of 2023 which essentially brought Hollywood to a standstill<\/a>, and the impact on video games is seemingly now being seen too.<\/p>\n

Myriad voice actors have commented on the threat of AI, including Metal Gear Solid and Mass Effect actress Jennifer Hale. “The truth is, AI is just a tool like a hammer,” she said. “If I take my hammer, I could build you a house. I can also take that same hammer and I can smash your skin and destroy who you are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hale revealed in October 2023 she was paid just $1,200 for her role as Naomi Hunter<\/a> in the original Metal Gear Solid, a game which eventually grossed $176 million for publisher Konami (and is still making the company money through myriad re-releases<\/a>).<\/p>\n

<\/section>\n

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt lead Doug Cockle similarly expressed caution and frustration<\/a> at the growing presence of AI within the video game industry, calling it “inevitable” but “dangerous.”<\/p>\n

Cissy Jones, a voice actor known for her roles in Disney’s Owl House, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, Shin Megami Tensei 5, and more, has started a company called Morpheme.ai to let voice actors embrace AI and gain control of their own voices going forward<\/a>.<\/p>\n
