Genshin Impact’s Tighnari Voice Actor to Be Replaced After Allegations of Inappropriate Conduct, HoYoverse Confirms

Just last week, allegations of inappropriate conduct against Elliot Gindi, who voices Tighnari in Genshin Impact, came to light. An extensive Google Doc was unveiled, complete with screenshots and conversations indicating that Gindi had engaged in inappropriate sexual conversations with fans, many of whom were underage.

Since these allegations have come to light, miHoYo has remained silent on the matter until today, where the studio confirmed that Gindi will no longer voice Tighnari in Genshin Impact in subsequent versions and updates of the game. The studio tweeted out a statement today, mentioning that they have been in talks with Gindi’s voice recording agency, and that he will be replaced due to a breach of contract.

You can check out the tweet in question down below:
