After the recent controversy surrounding Elliot Gindi, Genshin Impact will be getting a new voice actor for the character, Tighnari.

Tighnari Getting New Voice in Genshin Impact Soon

Genshin Impact, the popular action role-playing video game, has announced on Twitter that it is severing ties with Elliot Gindi, the English voice actor for the character Tighnari, due to allegations of sexual misconduct. The development team cited a breach of contract as the reason for Gindi’s dismissal and is currently in talks with a voice recording agency to replace him with future updates.

The controversy surrounding Gindi began when one of his Twitch moderators shared a document that contained alleged chat logs and screenshots of Gindi engaging in sexual misconduct with fans, some of whom were reportedly minors. The document also contained explicit content related to the voice actor, including accusations of streaming in his underwear and requesting sexual photos and videos from fans.

Gindi subsequently apologized for his behavior via Twitter but confirmed some of the allegations against him. He denied pursuing a sexual relationship with underage fans and claimed that the underwear streams were not meant to be sexual. Gindi also denied knowledge that the fans in question were minors. However, his fellow voice actors publicly condemned and expressed outrage at his behavior, and he left social media with no indication of returning.

In response to the controversy, Genshin Impact has announced that it is now in discussions with a voice recording agency regarding matters of casting and re-recording for Tighnari’s in-game voice lines. The studio has confirmed that Gindi will no longer be voicing the character in subsequent versions of the game due to a breach of contract.

The studio has also stated that it will gradually replace Tighnari’s existing in-game voice lines and issue updates in the corresponding announcements. However, at present, it is unknown who will replace Elliot Gindi as the voice of Tighnari.
