Potential Changes in the Voice Acting Landscape
As anticipation builds for Leung’s return, questions arise about the presence of other familiar voices in Honkai: Star Rail. During the recent 2024-2025 SAG-AFTRA strike, several voice actors and actresses, including Cia Court (Himeko), Caleb Yen (Caelus), Rachael Chau (Stelle), and Cheryl Texiera (Kafka), were silenced or recast. This disruption also impacted other titles by HoYoVerse, such as Zenless Zone Zero.
Game Availability and Upcoming Updates
Currently, Honkai: Star Rail is playable on PS5, PC, and mobile devices. Players can look forward to the highly anticipated 3.4 update, which is set to be released on July 2, 2025.
