Rachel Chau and Caleb Yen’s Departure Raises Questions
Since the game was released around the world, Rachel Chau and Caleb Yen have voiced the female and male Trailblazer characters. Thanks to their performances, these otherwise mute characters became more distinctive in important story moments, as their voice lines added feeling and growth to the protagonists. However, many noticed that some of the Trailblazers have new voices in the trailer for Hyacine which has fans thinking it might mean they were recast. This information was added to the growing concern after data mining pointed to fresh voice lines recorded by various, as of yet anonymous, actors.
SAG-AFTRA Strike’s Impact on Honkai: Star Rail
It’s quite possible that the SAG-AFTRA strike, causing many problems for voice acting portions in video games, explains this sudden change. During this period, a lot of actors decided to take breaks, like several in the Honkai: Star Rail community did. Because the dialogues of Stelle, Caelus, Himeko and Dan Heng were not included in the latest Amphoreus quest, it seems that there are larger problems facing the voiceover process.
There has been no announcement by HoYoverse about the new voice actors. Players are expecting to hear an announcement from the developers as they are about to release version 3.3. Some fans like the new change, but others are worried that the actors themselves won’t be involved anymore. Even if everyone hasn’t made up their minds, this change could mark a significant step in the growth of Honkai: Star Rail.
