Honkai Star Rail Caelus VA and Stelle Voice Actor Changes
Since launch, Caelus had been voiced by Caleb Yen, and Stelle by Rachel Chau in the English version of the game. Many players became attached to their performances. However, leakers have now found new voice clips indicating a change in the English cast. This leak has surprised longtime players who recognized the voices instantly in the Hyacine character trailer.
Check out the leaked voice clips for Caelus and Stelle below:
Why the Caelus VA Change Happened?
The main reason for this change seems to be the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. During this time, the original Caelus VA and Stelle VA withheld work. Because of this, both protagonists were unvoiced for several patches, especially throughout the Amphoreus questline since version 3.0. This noticeably impacted immersion for English dub users.
Community Reactions and Speculations
Fans reacted quickly after spotting the changes in recent trailers. The new voices for both characters sparked discussion, especially when leakers datamined and shared the clips. You can listen to them in the embedded post below. While the new actors haven’t been officially credited yet, an announcement is expected alongside version 3.3’s launch.
Interestingly, Caleb Yen also voices Gaming in Genshin Impact. Since he may be replaced in Star Rail, fans are now wondering if Gaming’s voice in Genshin will change too.
Conclusion
The reported change in Caelus VA and Stelle’s voice actor comes as a surprise to many fans. While we await official confirmation, the leaks and voice samples make it very likely. Keep an eye on HoYoverse’s update notes for more details once version 3.3 goes live.
