The "final epilogue entry" for the Light and Darkness Saga will have some unvoiced lines of dialogue though, due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. In the [URL='https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/twid-01-30-25'][U]recent This Week In Destiny update[/U][/URL], Bungie said its teams have taken care to deliver the narrative and story content, but warned that certain voice lines will be silent due to the ongoing Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strike. Subtitles will be enabled by default so players don't miss any story, and Bungie outlined a number of accessibility and visibility options for said subtitles. Heresy activities that have missing voice acting will display a warning before launch. The SAG-AFTRA strike started last July after the union confirmed it had failed to reach an agreement with video companies following a series of negotiations. SAG-AFTRA cited a lack of agreement over regulating generative artificial intelligence (or GenAI) in projects. Even games not subject to the strike have been affected. Activision, for example, [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/activision-confirms-call-of-duty-black-ops-6-character-recast-after-players-expressed-concern-about-new-voices'][U]recast several Zombies characters in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6[/U][/URL] after the voice actors reportedly chose not to sign new contracts in solidarity with striking union members.
