Honkai: Star Rail Huohuo VA replaced in version 2.4 as well

Players of Honkai: Star Rail are in for a surprise when starting version 2.4, because the English VA of Huohuo has been replaced without any warning – Megan Shipman has taken over in place of Courtney Lin. Shortly ahead of version 2.4’s release, we learned that the VAs for Argenti and Mr. Tail, who is an integral part of Huohuo’s character, have been replaced as well. Both Huohuo and Argenti were released in version 1.5 of HSR, so fans believe that there may have been some contract issues with the talents hired for that update’s characters.  Things can’t be as clear cut, though, as Hanya – also introduced during version 1.5 – remains in the capable hands of her original VA, Suzie Yeung. Some people have speculated that the recently announced SAG-AFTRA strike is the reason why these roles have been refilled, but that’s very unlikely given that the new VAs have re-recorded all voice lines for these characters in addition to new ones for 2.4 – and likely beyond. There simply wouldn’t have been enough time to do
