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.

The studio has not yet announced who will be taking on Tighnari’s role going forward, but for now, at least we know miHoYo is taking action. We’ll keep you updated as more details come our way.

Genshin Impact is now available on PC and mobile devices.
