HoYoverse Urges Recording Studio to Resolve Voice Actor Payment Issues | Push Square
Update: Genshin Impact developer HoYoverse has issued a response to reports that some of its voice actors have gone months without being paid for their work.
In a statement to Eurogamer.net, a spokesperson said: «We truly regret to learn about the ongoing situation. Genshin Impact values and respects the work and effort of everyone involved, and we support our voice actors to claim their proper due. We have made payments to our recording studio on time, and we have immediately urged the studio to pay our voice actors. Meanwhile, we are also seeking alternative solutions. We will keep everyone posted on further developments.»
Clearly recording studio Formosa Group is in hot water here, and could end up losing its likely lucrative contract with HoYoverse if this doesn't get resolved. Obviously this is a complicated time for acting talent, so it'll be interesting to see how this situation gets resolved.
