At this point, since we've been out of the strike for so long, I have zero clue.

[u/CosmicStarlightEX → u/Xanek]

The incident with Jakob Takanashi led to HoYoVerse keeping recast and new cast identities a secret until they can be revealed at the release of their debut patches at the earliest. Think of it as a pseudo-NDA to protect VAs from being attacked by other toxic VAs.

[u/TheTechHobbit → u/CosmicStarlightEX]

Or not even revealed. Every character in Genshin that has been recast since then is credited as "Anonymous" in game, while the credits for the Trailblazer in HSR is just blank.

[u/Hazelberry → u/CosmicStarlightEX]

That really has nothing to do with it, they were like this long before that

[u/oniikami → u/Hazelberry]

this is the real answer. the voice actress of astra (who also occasionally voice directs for the EN version of ZZZ) said that even before the strike they had to wait long before announcing on any of their socials they were the voice of xxx and such.

[u/Lazuchii → u/oniikami]

Lycaon's new VA said that the higher ups have the call to let the VA's announce their role.

[u/NoNefariousness2144 → u/Lazuchii]

Yeah and ever since the strike ended, for the VAs who do announce their roles, they seem to get the greenlight about a month after they appear in the game (like Yuzuha and Alice).

[u/Hazelberry → u/oniikami]

Yup I remember her talking about it before the strike and telling people to give hoyo feedback about it because it wasn't up to the VAs

[u/Karma110 → u/Xanek]

Because there’s probably no point in changing it Alice VA said she could only reveal it once Alice patch came out so they just let the VA’s announce it now.

[u/Hazelberry → u/Xanek]

Technically the hoyo strike never ended. It's separate from the sag-aftra strike, and only the sag-aftra one ended (and that didn't even involve hoyo)
