Following recent events, HoYoverse via the official Genshin Impact Twitter channel has confirmed that original Tighnari’s original voice actor Elliot Gindi, will no longer voice the character in subsequent versions.
Although Gindi’s works does appear to be in the incoming release of Genshin Impact Version 3.5 as evidenced by the most recent update announcement trailer, they also confirmed they are working with the voice recording agency to find a new voice actor, and gradually replace existing in-game voice lines for Tighnari.
For those who do not wish to hear Gindi voice the character in the immediate future, there is the option of temporarily changing the voice over language to Japanese.
A full statement can be found below, or via Twitter:
