Update - March 12: In a statement posted to Twitter, recording studio Sound Cadence addressed concerns regarding "how we work with our voice actors" and affirmed that "every contract at our studio features explicit AI protections, regardless of union status."
Commenting on the Zenless Zone Zero recasting more directly, but still slightly indirectly, Sound Cadence adds: "The decision to recast talent on any project is not made lightly. While sometimes our hands are tied as to what we can communicate and when, we understand how personally actors take their roles, and always want to ensure that no one is ever blindsided. Our studio has and will continue to honor legacy casting on all projects we've inherited whenever possible, and always reach out to actors to reprise their roles before investigating any other options."
