Like previous entries in the series, Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield won’t have voice acting. The characters have lines of text to read while the Pokemon themselves maintain their tradition sound effects.
In an interview with Metro, director Shigeru Ohmori was asked why voice acting wasn’t included this time around. He pointed to the amount of work that would be needed for recordings due to the amount of languages supported as well as maintaining the idea players have in mind for the different characters.

During its E3 2019 press conference, Ubisoft closed out the show by announcing Gods & Monsters. The Zelda-esque action-adventure game was slated for February, but we’ve seen nothing of the game since. Unsurprisingly, Ubisoft has now announced a delay.
