Cygames smartphone RPG “Granblue Fantasy” (グランブルーファンタジー) announced that the game will temporarily suspend voice recording due to the continuous spread of new coronavirus disease.
The decision is made in response to the State of Emergency Protocol enforced by the Government of Japan. Social distancing and stay-at-home measures make it hard to bring voice actors and staff to studios for recording sessions.
The announcement stated that the game contents updated after 23rd April 2020 will feature pre-recorded generic voice clips in place of fully voice-acted lines. The decisions may largely affect future scenario events, which are known to feature fully-voiced stories.
新型コロナウイルス感染症の拡大状況を鑑み、キャスト・スタッフの安全を考慮し、音声収録を中止しております。よって今後公開予定のコンテンツでは、一部音声が未実装になります。収録を再開し次第、音声を実装し、ゲーム内お知らせにて告知いたします。ご理解のほど宜しくお願い致します。 #グラブル
