Hoyoverse, the developers behind the highly praised open-world RPG Genshin Impact, have finally disclosed that it is replacing the voice actor for Dendro character Tighnari. This announcement came during Genshin Impact's official Version 3.6 Update Maintenance Preview.
While Hoyoverse has yet to officially reveal the new voice actor's name, data miners have discovered new voice lines for the Dendro character, suggesting that Zachary Gordon will be Tighnari's new voice actor.
Previously, Tighnari was voiced by Elliot Gindi, who faced significant backlash after being accused of sexual misconduct and self-harm threats by multiple fans. Gindi later admitted his wrongdoings and issued an apology for his behavior through a Twitlonger post (his Twitter account is no longer available).
After taking note of the situation, Hoyoverse released a statement in February condemning Elliot Gindi's actions and assuring fans that the voice actor would be entirely replaced due to Gindi's breach of contract. It also confirmed that the voice lines would be replaced gradually in subsequent updates.
