Yesterday we found out that Sega and Yakuza Studios had decided to halt shipment and digital sales for the new Yakuza series' spin-off game Judgment. The reason behind this was that Pierre Taki, one of the game's voice actors, was arrested on Tuesday for cocaine use.

Things have not only affected Sega and Yakuza Studios, since Square Enix also had Taki voicing a character in Kingdom Hearts III, as a new report reveals that the Japanese version of the game will have Frozen character Olaf getting all-new dialogue in order to replace Taki's work.

According to the report, this change will come in the form of a new update for Kingdom Hearts III, but no other details about this whole topic have been revealed yet. 



KINGDOM HEARTS III tells the story of the power of friendship as Sora and his friends embark on a perilous adventure. Set in a vast array of Disney and Pixar worlds, KINGDOM HEARTS follows the journey of Sora, a young boy and unknowing heir to a spectacular power.

Kingdom Hearts III is currently available for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
