Supergiant Games Responds to Recasting Allegations

Recently, there’s been some buzz in the gaming community regarding voice acting in Hades 2. Supergiant Games, the developer, has stepped up to clarify their position amidst a voice actor dispute.

Marin Miller, the voice of Athena, suggested on social media that Supergiant was recasting her role due to the studio’s reluctance to use the SAG-AFTRA interim agreement. This agreement allows voice actors to continue working during the ongoing strike concerning AI usage in the industry.

Supergiant’s Standpoint

Supergiant Games firmly stated they haven’t recast any characters in Hades 2. They emphasized their commitment to working with their original cast and highlighted their strong stance against using generative AI in their games, ensuring all content, including voiceover, is created by humans.

Key points from Supergiant’s statement:

The Bigger Picture: The SAG-AFTRA Strike

The core issue revolves around the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, primarily concerning the use of AI. Voice actors seek protection and fair compensation, which is attainable using SAG-AFTRA.
