Kinich VA Changed, Genshin Impact New Voice Actor

Kinich’s English voice actor has been replaced, and here’s what you need to know. According to the latest announcement on Hoab, starting with version 5.5, the new voice actor for Kinich will be Jacob Takanashi. This change will only affect new content released with version 5.5 and beyond. The older content will still feature the previous voice actor, John Patneaude, for now.

Fans have shown mixed reactions to the news. Many are disappointed to see John Patneaude go because they have grown used to his performance over time. His voice has been part of the character for a long time, and it will be hard for some fans to adjust to a new voice. On the other hand, there are those who welcome the change and are excited to see what Jacob Takanashi will bring to Kinich’s character.

It is important to note that while new content will have Jacob’s voice, the old material is not immediately updated. Gradually, as the game or content receives updates, you might notice the voice change in earlier parts. Until that process is complete, you will see both names listed in Kinich’s profile. This dual listing can help ease the transition for fans who are already familiar with the character.

Change like this can be challenging for a loyal fan base, and many people are sending their best wishes to John Patneaude for his future endeavors. At the same time, the community is encouraged to give Jacob a warm welcome as he steps into this role. Stay tuned for more updates as Kinich’s voice continues to evolve in future releases.
