Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 publisher Activision has replaced some of the shooter’s voice actors amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA actor strike.
The voices of Zombie mode characters William Peck and Samantha Maxis – hitherto portrayed by Zeke Alton and Julie Nathanson, respectively – seem to have changed between pre-release and now, with no formal word from the publisher or developer Treyarch about the change.
It also appears that Alton has been pulled from the credits, too, whilst Nathanson remains on the list – albeit uncredited for individual roles – making it difficult to know what characters are now voiced by who.

Alton expanded a little on the changes, saying “to the best of [their] knowledge, that performance is not [mine]”.
“It’s [Activision’s] character, and they can do with it what they please,” Alton told Game Developer. “My only concern is for my brand as a performer. Fans of the game have reached out to me because the lack of crediting [of the replacement actor] implies that it may still be me, which unfairly represents my abilities as a performer.
