I’m hoping to find out if Bungie plans to add the missing dialogue from Xivu and Sloane after the SAG-AFTRA strike ends. Many players, including myself, are considering waiting to experience the story until we know if the lines will be included or not. Of course, this hinges on the strike concluding with enough time before the current episode wraps up. Regardless, I do appreciate Bungie’s support for the voice actors and avoiding AI recasting where possible.

Honestly, it seems really unlikely that Bungie would add in those voice lines, even if the strike ends soon. The current episode is likely finishing up, and there might not be enough time for them to bring in the voice actors and get everything recorded and integrated into the game before the content disappears with the upcoming Frontiers release. It just wouldn’t make sense for them.
Right? Plus, if they had any plans, they probably would have said something by now. Just doesn’t seem realistic.
It’s really too bad this is happening during such an engaging storyline. I support the strike wholeheartedly, but I can’t help but feel frustrated. The game is just missing out on a ton of potential richness without those lines. The situation feels like it might never resolve itself satisfactorily for fans who are invested in the narrative.
Exactly. It’s a bummer when you love the game but can’t enjoy the full experience because of these ongoing issues.
Yeah, and honestly, AI recasting would just ruin the immersion and the art of the game. Let’s hope for the best, but it might be a while.
I think you’re trying to get an answer that Bungie just can’t provide right now. They don’t know when the strike will end or how long it will take to get everything recorded after that. Even if it ends tomorrow, they’d still face delays getting the actors in to record the lines and then implementing them into the game before the content is gone. It’s a tough situation for them, and they might just aim to keep communication minimal to avoid disappointing players further.
True, they really can’t predict anything right now. And honestly, if the content is going away soon anyway, it’s probably smarter for them just to focus on the next steps rather than get our hopes up.
Totally agree. It’s a messy situation, and fans should keep that in mind instead of expecting a miracle.
Yeah, if they haven’t recorded anything yet, it feels like a huge uphill battle. Waiting for the strike to end and then getting it all done? Sounds like it could take months.
