Mega Man VA Refuses Return Without Union Protections
TL;DR Summary
Ben Diskin, who voiced Mega Man in Mega Man 11, will not return for Mega Man: Dual Override because Capcom would not provide a union contract, despite assurances that his voice wouldn’t be used for AI development. Diskin says he can’t risk the contractless arrangement amid industry volatility and AI concerns, with SAG-AFTRA issues adding to the context as Capcom eyes a 2027 Switch release window.
