Black Ops 6 Zombies Actors Quit Over Lack Of AI Protection, It’s Claimed

Nearly all of the actors with the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies mode have quit the game, according to a new claim. In a post on social media, Call of Duty leaker GhostOfHope says that they have left the game due to a lack of protection against AI.

“Almost all of the actors that feature in the Zombies crew in Black Ops 6 Zombies have pulled out of working over the lack of AI protections in their contracts,” Hope said. “This has resulted in some of the disappointing recasts we are now seeing early on (Ex: SAM on Citadelle), with some likely still to be recast in future maps etc.”

Insider Gaming has reached out to Activision for comment on the report. As of publishing, no response has been received.

Concerns of AI protection for video game actors is nothing new. SAG-AFTRA members are currently striking against game studios for that exact reason after negotiations with studios failed to deliver any sort of guarantees for actors. The strike officially began in July after 18 months of negotiations, and continues without a deal.

One of those studios the union is in negotiations with just happens to be Activision Blizzard as well as EA, Insomniac, Take-Two, Warner Bros. Games, and more.
