Update:
For a game that’s constantly updated with new content, we’ll be adding more VA’s to this lineup of Japanese talents lending their voices to Genshin Impact’s ever-growing list of characters!
Original:
By now, most of you may have already heard of or have been spending a lot of hours playing Genshin Impact, the new free-to-play open world Action RPG by MiHoYo. Yes, the same developers of the hit mobile game Honkai Impact 3rd. In fact, this latest foray by MiHoYo has been extremely popular and successful, becoming the biggest globally launched Chinese game ever.
Genshin Impact does have that anime-ish flair to it that can appeal to the anime-watching fans out there. If you’re part of that group and have been playing the game on its default English voice setting, you may want to consider switching it to Japanese because Genshin Impact has an all-star cast of Japanese voice actors that you may have heard from other games and anime. Some of them have even worked on projects together!
Here are the notable stars that you will hear in Genshin Impact and surely, when you see their credentials, you’ll be both surprised and excited having heard them before in something you have watched or played before!

Thank you for sending this over, yes we are in the process of compiling the new information from the 2.0 update, we’ll be updating this soon! 🙂
This is what I’ve needed. There is a huge gap between English VA and Japanese VA, and still, Mihoyo are not adding English subs to their videos on the jp Genshin channel:((((((
What love about this game is the fact that I know like 90% of the voice actors due to the amount of animes I’ve watched
We literally turned into that Leo DiCaprio pointing meme while compiling all of this info.
