Now, a fan-favorite character is quietly seeing a major change.
Argenti first debuted inHonkai: Star Railas a playable character with the launch of the game’s Version 1.5 update in December of last year. Introduced as a member of the Knights of Beauty, Argenti launched as a Physical Erudition character, offering heavy AoE Physical damage for players picking him up. Argenti also recently received his first re-run during the second half ofStar Rail’s Version 2.3, alongside new Quantum character Jade. However, fans of Argenti may notice a major change in the character with future updates to the game.
In an unannounced change to HoYoverse’s website caught by prominent community member hxg_diluc,Honkai: Star Railhas reportedly replaced the voice actor for Argenti. According to the website, Argenti will now be voiced by Talon Warburton with Argenti’s previous voice, Adam Michael Gold, no longer listed.

An official reason for Gold’s departure from the role has not been given by HoYoverse.
Honkai: Star Rail Replacing Argenti Voice Actor
While the change in Argenti’s voice was sudden and unexpected, the shift will not be the first recent debacle surroundingHonkai: Star Rail’s voice cast.Upcoming Version 2.5 character Mozehas already seen a change in his voice role before his release, with voice actor Chris Niosi stepping down from the role following fan backlash. Niosi had previously found himself in hot water for allegations of sexual misconduct, being dropped from the role of Byleth inFire Emblem: Three Housesand replaced with Zach Aguilar.
The replacement of Argenti’s voice actor inHonkai: Star Railbrings into question the status of Argenti’s past voice lines. With no official confirmation from HoYoverse about the changes, it is unclear whether Adam Michael Gold’s voice lines will remain inHonkai: Star Railor be re-dubbed by Talon Warburton. HoYoverse has previously handled a similar situation withGenshin Impactdropping Elliot Gindi as Tighnari, confirming the developer would be re-recording Gindi’s lines. For fans of Argenti, only time will tell what direction HoYoverse takes with the Knight of Beauty’s new voice.
