Zenless Zone Zero replaces Soukaku and Lucy's voice actors

There has been a series of voice actor replacements recently in HoYoverse gacha titles. Amid this, news has come to light of certain voice actors for Zenless Zone Zero being replaced. The English voice actors for the characters Lucy (voiced by Courtney Lin) and Soukaku (original voice actor not revealed) have now officially been replaced after the version 1.1 update.

Courtney Lin is also the former voice actor for Huohuo in Honkai Star Rail and was replaced following the 2.4 Honkai Star Rail version update. Fans of both titles are equally taken aback by this news, as there has been no official announcement from either HoYoverse or the voice actor's side.

HoYoverse has not yet revealed who the new artists voicing Lucy and Soukaku are, so fans of the title are waiting to hear some kind of official statement from the company as to the reasoning behind these sudden voice-acting changes.

News about the changes in Lucy and Soukaku's English voice acting was first revealed via the Zenless Zone Zero version 1.1 patch notes. Later on, with the release of the 1.1 patch, their voices were updated in-game to reflect the changes. So far, the names of the new English voice actors for Lucy and Soukaku have not yet been revealed.

Previously, Zenless Zone Zero had officially announced Lucy's English voice actor, Courtney Lin, via an X post in June 2024. Soukaku's previous English voice actor had never been announced, and now with the change in the voice acting cast, the previous voice actor's identity will probably never be revealed.

Even though Courtney Lin has now been replaced from two HoYoverse titles, there have been no announcements on her social media. This has risen to speculation among fans, who have been discussing a variety of reasons behind why she might have been replaced, starting from the SAG-AFTRA strike to agency/studio issues.

Meanwhile, players who like Lucy and Soukaku have mixed reactions to their favorite characters sounding very different now. While some are welcoming of the changes, the majority think that the previous voice actors sounded better.

For the time being, fans will just have to wait patiently for some sort of announcement from HoYoverse that explains their recent voice actor replacement decisions.
