Bungie's latest expansion for Destiny 2, titled The Edge of Fate, has only recently launched, but developers are already working on re-recording certain character dialogues. Players who noticed inconsistencies in the game's voice acting will be pleased to learn that the original performers are returning to their roles.

The development team recently confirmed that temporary voice actors had been used for characters Ikora, Orin, and Chioma due to the original performers' unavailability. This situation appears connected to the recent SAG-AFTRA actors' strike, which concluded just days before Bungie's announcement about the voice recording updates.

While Bungie hasn't specified an exact timeline, they've confirmed that the original voice actors are now available and re-recording sessions are underway. The updated dialogue will be implemented in a future game patch, restoring the familiar voices players have come to associate with these key characters.

During this transitional period, some characters have been silent in certain scenes, with subtitles provided where necessary. The French and Spanish versions of the game are currently using English voiceovers until the localized recordings can be completed with the returning performers.

This isn't the first time Destiny 2 has faced voice acting challenges. The previous expansion, Heresy, was similarly affected by the industry-wide voice actor strike. The gaming community has generally responded positively to Bungie's transparency about these production challenges and their commitment to maintaining continuity in character performances.

The return of the original voice cast coincides with other significant changes coming to Destiny 2. The Edge of Fate expansion marks the beginning of a new saga that will continue through 2026, introducing fresh content and gameplay improvements while addressing some long-standing community requests.

As Bungie works to implement these voice recording updates, players can expect the full, intended experience of The Edge of Fate to gradually take shape. The studio's commitment to quality and continuity demonstrates their dedication to maintaining Destiny 2's immersive storytelling as the game continues to evolve.
