HoYoverse released new information on the upcoming five-star Honkai: Star Rail character Acheron, including her Japanese and English voice actors. In English, she will be voiced by Allegra Clark, while Japanese voice over duties will be handled by Miyuki Sawashiro.
Clark’s other roles include Dorothea and Shamir in Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Mitsuru in Persona 3 Reload. Sawashiro, meanwhile, is known for voicing Celty Sturluson in Durarara, Jolyne Cujoh in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle, and Mordred in Fate/Apocrypha and Fate/Grand Order.
As well as being the English voice of Acheron in Honkai: Star Rail, Allegra Clark has previously voiced the character Beidou in HoYoverse’s Genshin Impact, while Miyuki Sawashiro provided the Japanese voice for the Raiden Shogun. Like Acheron, both of these characters use lightning-based powers, though it is known as Electro in that game.
Acheron was first revealed at the end of the Honkai: Star Rail 2.0 trailer shown at the Game Awards 2023, where she is shown arriving on the planet Penacony. It is expected that she may feature either in the story or in character quests during the update, though it is still unknown when exactly she will be available for players to pull for. The promotional art also confirms that she will be an Lightning element character that follows the path of Nihility, like previous five-star Kafka.
HoYoverse recently announced a special program set to air on January 26, 2024, which will detail the upcoming version 2.0 update. The company also teased another group of upcoming characters with a trailer for the antagonistic Annihilation Gang.
The release date for Acheron is currently unknown, but she is not expected to arrive until sometime after the release of Honkai: Star Rail version 2.0. The game itself is readily available on PC, PS5, and mobile devices.
