After nearly 5 years, Genshin Impact recasts Paimon in English – and I'm definitely not the only one who prefers her new voice

Genshin Impact's Traveller pulls Paimon out a river while using a fishing rod.

Genshin Impact update 5.7 is out, and while new 5-star character Skirk is the star of the patch, many players are more focused on two of the oldest characters in the game. Genshin mascot Paimon and 1.0 standard 5-star Keqing have both been recast in English for the new update content, and their old performances will also be replaced in future patches. After almost five years, it's the end of an era, folks.

Keqing has a following of her own, having initially inspired the reliable Keqing Mains Genshin theorycrafting community, but Paimon is the bigger change here. As the face of the game and the protagonist's companion-turned-interpreter, Paimon has more dialogue than anyone else in Genshin, so her recasting will affect virtually every corner of the game.
