Former Honkai: Star Rail Argenti, Mr Tail English Voice Actor Thanks Fans

About a day after HoYoVerse silently replaced the voice actor for Argenti and Tail in the English version of Honkai: Star Rail, the voice actor in question—Adam Michael Gold—made a statement on his Twitter account. Though he did not give an explanation for why he is no longer those roles in the game, he reports that he’s happy and healthy, and that he’s grateful for the show of support.

In the statement, which you can read via a screenshot on his account, he starts by thanking people for the outpour of support. He adds that he really loves the Honkai: Star Rail community because of that. If he plans on releasing another statement in regards to the change in cast, it might be on another platform, as he notes social media isn’t the best place for that. The only hint he gave as to the reason behind the replacement is that he has a clear conscience about the situation, and he’s glad that he got the chance to play as Argenti and Tail in the first place, as he’s come to love these two characters.

It’s unknown if there is something going on behind the scenes with Honkai: Star Rail beyond controversy over the English casting for Moze (Chris Niosi). Niosi has since stepped down from the role. Argenti appeared in Versions 2.2 and 2.3. However, in both patches, the English version of Honkai: Star Rail was the only one in which Argenti did not have any voiced lines. It’s highly possible that Gold actually left during recording for those two patches and only announced it today due to HoYoVerse finding replacements for his two roles.

Honkai: Star Rail is readily available on the PS5, Windows PC, and mobile devices.
