We know about the claims from SAG AFTRA, which has dubbing actors on the warpath for the use of AI. Now, a rumor is spreading that claims that The location of the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle game is in danger. And according to some media reports, Bethesda is trying to negotiate with voice actors to sell their voices and be able to use AI with them. An aspect that surely has some clause behind it that can bridge the gap with everything that is happening. happening in this area.

And a large part of the problem that has led many actors to protest is the improper use of their voices, even their image, with technology applying AI. Now, a post has been found on Reddit, duly deleted by its author, which claims that Bethesda would be negotiating in this way.

The localization of the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle game is in danger if the blockage in European territory is confirmed

In fact, it seems that the information would come from SAG AFTRA's own claims, from which rumours arose about a possible domino effect on many games. Having been denied in the case of GTA VI, these documents would have exposed the Valve game that is related to Half Life 3. But in the same way, they would have exposed a problem in the localisation of games like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Apparently, the actors would have indicated Bethesda's intention to have voice actors sell their voices for then apply AI technology to bring it into the game.

Ultimately, we should not think that this is usurping or putting these actors out of work, since if an agreement is reached, it should be settled in a logical way. That is to say, Bethesda could only use that voice of that actor or actress for the specific game. And this is one of the major demands of the actors, which had not been considered until it was seen that there is a problem with the improper use of their image or, in this case, voice. If a concrete negotiation is established, the use of your voice for dubbing can be used so that, through AI, a game can be located with much less effort. Now, without further details having been revealed in this regard, That purchase should be stipulated for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and nothing else.

However, in light of this situation, about which we do not have much information, it has been pointed out that there could be serious problems in achieving this objective and, as a consequence, the localization of the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle game is in jeopardy. In fact, according to the information, it is the localization to European territories that would be compromised, so it would not be strange if, when the time comes, the game did not have dubbing in Spanish.

We will wait for more information to be given during the celebration of Gamescom 2024, between August 21 and 25where Xbox will want to show its full potential with many games and digital events.
