SomeGenshin Impactfans are speculating that the teased voice actress is the same person that voiced Lady Dimitrescu in theResident Evil VillageJapanese dub. The cryptic tweet mentions a daughter of evil flames and specifically names Kikuko Inoue who provides her voice to the menacingResident Evilcharacter. The tweet also teases a recorder made of “mysterious technology” which plays the equally secretive voice.
Genshin Impactversion 1.6 releases this summerand it will include new areas, new outfits, and tons of other additions. These additions apparently include the mysterious voice of Kikuko Inoue. Developers at miHoYo haven’t clarified how Kikuko Inoue will be involved with the upcoming Summer update, butGenshin Impactfans won’t have long to wait. Kikuko Inoue has lent her voice to multiple gaming projects in the past beyondResident Evil Village, includingDeath Stranding,Fire Emblem: Three Houses, andNioh 2.
Some fans are curious as to what teased character, if any, Kikuko Inoue may be voicing in version 1.6. Currently, miHoYo and its various channels have remained tight-lipped beyond this cryptic tweet, butGenshin Impactfans won’t have long to wait with the new update releasing on June 6. Alongside the teased voice of Kikuko Inoue, a new character will bejoiningGenshin Impactwith the new update. A new four-stage island-hopping adventure event will also include a battle with a new opponent known as Maguu Kenk. Kikuko Inoue hasn’t been confirmed as the voice of either of the new characters.
Considering how many franchises Kikuko Inoue has joined, it’ll be interesting to see how her voice is brought to the colorful world ofGenshin Impact. Lady Dimitrescu blew up as a character ahead of the launch ofResident Evil Villagethrough memes and social media and Kikuko Inoue may be continuing her voice-over work withGenshin Impact. The upcoming event will bring tons of new content and fixes toGenshin Impact, but Kikuko Inoue may lend her voice to the MMO in the future beyond version 1.6.
