” I am very honored to be selected as an Easter egg banner in the video game and do voice acting for some NPC,” she wrote, as equated in the Reddit post. “I love the video game therefore I accepted their offer and finished my recording at the start of 2020 in CDPR UK studio.”
” Sadly, I received big amount of disagreements from online community after the statement, hence I have actually given up the role and requested CDPR to remove my voice line from the video game. I hope this occurrence will not weaken players anticipation to the game.”
The announcement has likewise been deleted from CD Projekt Reds social networks, where it has apparently been replaced with a video about Chinese voice acting and localization in Cyberpunk 2077. Apparently an approximated 10,000 hours has entered into these departments.
