The Destiny 2: Edge of Fate launch has gone remarkably easily to this point, with most gamers – together with myself – reporting few points leaping in and loading up the growth’s marketing campaign. The primary cutscene in that marketing campaign, nevertheless, has perked up some ears, with gamers shortly noticing that Warlock Vanguard chief Ikora sounds a bit… off. Not unhealthy, but not fairly Ikora.
In a May blog post, Bungie introduced that “some voice expertise has been unavailable for recordings.” Consequently, some Edge of Fate content material “could have completely different voices” for a number of characters, specifically Ikora, Orin, and Chioma.
In a new post pre-seeding an upcoming weblog, the Destiny 2 Group Twitter account says the “conflicts” that prevented the original voice actors from working – maybe associated to that massive video game actor strike, which was suspended last month – have been resolved.
“We’re actively re-recording lines for affected characters,” Bungie says. “Whereas we do not have a selected date for when these lines will probably be up to date, we’re aiming for a future replace. When now we have extra particulars, we’ll let you understand.”
Till these recordings are completed and swapped, Bungie warns that “some characters could have non permanent voice casting or be silent. As we did for Destiny 2: Heresy, subtitles for story content material will probably be enabled by default to make sure narrative content material is not missed.”
A follow-up reply provides: “To make clear: The Edge of Fate contains all English voice performing, whereas some languages (French, Spanish) will play English voiceover as an alternative.”
So, if you happen to have been caught off guard not solely by Ikora’s new voice but additionally the sudden look of subtitles, now you understand: you are not shedding it, issues are just shifting in Destiny 2 proper now.
As a 10-year participant I am type of scared of the Destiny 2: Edge of Fate patch notes, which could be a Bungie document for new currencies and MMO loot MacGuffins.
