Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies Voice Actors Replaced

Activision has replaced voice actors for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies mode due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. Zeke Alton (William Peck) and Julie Nathanson (Samantha Maxis) have been replaced, with no official announcement from Activision or Treyarch.

Voice Actor Replacement and Fallout

Alton confirmed his replacement, stating his only concern is for his brand. He expressed no issue with Activision’s actions but hopes for future collaborations once performer protections against AI are in place. Activision offered a non-committal statement, respecting the actors’ strike but declining further comment on negotiations.

AI Concerns and Player Accusations

The situation comes amidst broader concerns over AI in the gaming industry. Players have accused Activision of using AI-generated content, citing a six-fingered Father Christmas in a loading screen as potential evidence. AI’s difficulty in rendering realistic hands further fuels these suspicions.

The replacement of voice actors highlights the impact of the SAG-AFTRA strike on the gaming industry and ongoing debates surrounding AI usage in game development.
