Mega Man Voice Actor Won't Return For Sequel Because Capcom Won't Go Union
After a long hiatus between Mega Man games, Mega Man: Dual Override is slated to bring back Capcom's iconic hero. However, Ben Diskin--the actor who voiced the title character in Mega Man 11--has revealed that he won't be returning for Dual Override because Capcom is refusing to abide by SAG-AFTRA regulations in the next game.
"With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man," Diskin wrote in a post on Bluesky. "I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract."

It's the change to that second pack that's going to be the most impactful, because there have been many cosmetic bundles that cost between 2,500 and 2,800 V-Bucks, and now folks may need to buy a more expensive pack of V-Bucks or use the new "Exact Amount" top-up feature to buy those bundles. Unfortunately, the top-up is also about to become significantly pricier itself.
