- Genshin Impact’s latest Archon Quest has characters with no voice-over
- Hoyoverse attributes the lack of voiceovers to “recording arrangements.”
- The missing voices impact the English version of the update.
- Affected characters include Kachina, Kinich, Aether, and Ajaw.
- The SAG-AFTRA strike has raised speculation about its potential connection.
The latest update for Genshin Impact has introduced a new character, Xilonen, along with a captivating storyline and quests. However, the game has been met with a surprising silence from several key characters, leaving players puzzled and concerned.
Hoyoverse, the developer of Genshin Impact, has attributed the lack of English voiceovers to “recording arrangements.” While the company has apologized for the inconvenience, the missing voices have significantly impacted the English version of the update.
Affected characters include Kachina, Kinich, Aether, and Ajaw, while Paimon and Xilonen remain fully voiced. The absence of voice lines is particularly noticeable in early parts of the story, where conversations between multiple characters occur.
Genshin Impact no voice-over issuse: Is it caused by the SAG-AFTRA strike?
The SAG-AFTRA strike has cast a shadow over the gaming industry, and some have speculated that it might be related to Genshin Impact’s silent characters. However, there is no official confirmation of this connection. While Genshin Impact is not directly involved in negotiations with SAG-AFTRA, its voiceover work is handled by Formosa Interactive, a company that has been targeted by the strike.
The missing voice lines could be due to various factors, including delays in the recording process, contractual issues, or even the ongoing strike. As investigations continue, players eagerly await clarification from Hoyoverse and Formosa Interactive regarding the reasons behind this unusual occurrence.
As the situation unfolds, players can only hope for a swift resolution and the return of fully voiced characters in future Genshin Impact updates.
