The Screen Actors Guild American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) has issued a “Do Not Work” order for Mega Man: Dual Override, instructing union members to withhold any voice acting performance work until further notice. The notice, published March 9th, says the producer “failed to initiate the signatory process.”
In simple terms, SAG-AFTRA says the production has not properly started the process required to become a union-signatory project. According to SAG-AFTRA, producers must begin that process through its signatory system, and Global Rule One requires members to work only under union contracts.
The notice does not indicate how much voice work had already been completed (although we did hear a tiny bit in the Video Game Awards reveal trailer back in December). But what it does show is that there is currently a contract issue tied to the project’s union status. If that issue is resolved, the order could be lifted.
At this time, there is nothing to suggest the notice will impact Dual Override's overall development, as it appears to primarily concern the English voice performance side of production. The game remains in development and is still scheduled for release in 2027.
UPDATE: Ben Diskin, Mega Man's voice actor, has exited the game over union-related concerns.
We’ll keep an eye on the situation and share any updates from SAG-AFTRA or Capcom.
