Naruto x Boruto voice acting wasn’t AI-generated, says Bandai Namco

Bandai Namco has denied using AI-generated voice acting for Naruto x Boruto Ultimate Ninja Storms Connections following complaints from both fans and at least a couple of the game’s voice actors.

Following the game’s launch earlier this month, many fans have taken umbrage with some of the voice performances from its English dub since they sound out of place and don’t match what’s happening on-screen. When pressed about it, voice actors Maile Flanagan and Michael Schwalbe expressed similar confusion, saying they don’t recall ever reading certain lines like how they are in the game.
