Voice Actors

Overview

Neverness to Everness has a multilingual voice cast spanning English, Japanese, and Chinese. The game offers full voice acting across its main story quests, character side stories, and many open-world interactions. Players can switch between voice languages at any time through the in-game settings menu, and each language track delivers its own distinct interpretation of the characters.

Developed by Hotta Studio and published by Perfect World, the game recruited veteran voice talent from across the anime, video game, and film industries. Several cast members are well-known for high-profile roles in other popular titles, bringing significant experience to their performances.

Playable Character Voice Cast

The table below lists confirmed playable characters and their voice actors across the three supported languages. Notable prior roles are included for reference.

Voice cast credits expand as additional cast members are confirmed and as post-launch updates introduce new playable Espers. Some Japanese cast members for newer characters are still pending public confirmation.

Voice Direction

The English voice production for Neverness to Everness is directed by Brook Chalmers and Chris Faiella, both credited on the launch broadcast. The English dub was recorded in collaboration with professional voice studios, and several cast members have noted the extensive recording sessions required given the game's open-world scope and branching dialogue systems.

Language Options

Neverness to Everness supports three voice languages: English, Japanese, and Chinese (Mandarin). Players can switch between these languages independently of the text/subtitle language, allowing combinations such as Japanese voice with English subtitles. The voice language setting can be changed at any time from the Settings menu without restarting the game.

Each language version features fully voiced main story content, character stories, and major side quests. Some ambient NPC dialogue and minor interactions may vary in the extent of voice coverage between languages.

Notable Voice Actor Overlaps

Several voice actors in the cast share connections through other popular game and anime franchises.

Supported Voice Languages

The game ships with three fully produced voice tracks at global launch, each recorded against a dedicated cast rather than machine-assisted dubbing. The lip sync system animates character faces to match the active language, so mouths move in time with whichever voice track is currently selected. Players can mix and match freely: keep the interface in English while listening to the Japanese cast, or vice versa.

A Korean dub has been discussed alongside the regional launch plan described on the Launch Roadmap, but at the moment English, Japanese, and Mandarin are the three tracks that ship with full story coverage. Subtitles are available in significantly more languages than the voice options, so players whose preferred language is not represented in the dub list can still follow the main story comfortably.

How to Switch Voice Tracks

Voice language can be changed at any point during play, including mid-mission, and the swap applies the next time a line of dialogue triggers. The option lives in the audio section of the settings menu rather than the graphics panel.

1. Open the pause menu and select Settings.

2. Pick the Audio tab (not the Graphics tab).

3. Scroll to the Voice Language option and cycle through English, Japanese, and Chinese.

4. Confirm the selection. The game downloads the new voice pack on demand if it was not installed during the initial download.

5. The next triggered dialogue line plays in the newly selected language, and the lip sync rig rebuilds mouth shapes to match.

Because voice data ships as optional packs, switching for the first time may require a short download. Players on capped connections can install all three voice packs ahead of time from the client launcher to avoid surprise downloads during a session.

Casting Direction and Recording

The English localization is directed by Brook Chalmers and Chris Faiella, both of whom have credits on large anime and video game productions. The Japanese cast was assembled by Hotta Studio with the support of Japanese talent agencies, and the casting announcement was shared publicly through the Japan Seiyuu community channels. The Mandarin track is produced in-house by the studio's audio department, which matches the workflow used on the studio's earlier titles.

Specific recording studio names have not been disclosed at the time of writing. What has been confirmed publicly is that the dubs are recorded separately rather than in a single booth session, which explains small timing and emphasis differences between the English, Japanese, and Mandarin takes on the same scene. If a line lands differently in one language, that is a natural byproduct of three independent direction teams interpreting the same source script.

Lip Sync Integration

The game uses an automated phoneme-matching system that generates mouth shapes per language track. The technology is described in more detail on the Lip Sync System article, but the short version is that mouth animations are not baked to a single language. When the player swaps voice tracks mid-scene, facial animation refreshes so that mouth movement lines up with whichever language the character is speaking.

Cutscenes that feature multiple characters in the same frame all follow the active voice language. There is no mode that lets one character speak Japanese while another speaks English in the same conversation. Voice language is a global setting applied to every speaking part in the game.

The same lip sync pipeline drives the Stories from Eibon short-film content. These narrative shorts reuse the main cast and the same voice tracks, so swapping voice language before launching a short film carries the change into the film seamlessly. The ambient music and broader soundtrack are not affected by voice language selection and stay consistent across all tracks.

Tips for Choosing a Voice Language

There is no mechanical advantage to picking one voice track over another. The three casts cover the same scenes, the same characters, and the same total word count, so the choice comes down to personal preference. A few things players have pointed out can help with the decision.

• English is the most common pick for players coming from Western action RPGs. The cast includes veterans from other major gacha titles, so the delivery style will feel familiar.

• Japanese leans into anime-style performances and is a natural fit if the player is watching anime in the background of their gaming time. The sibling casting of Yuma Uchida and Maaya Uchida as the Male and Female Espers Zero is the most publicized example of how the Japanese direction team treats the lead pairing.

• Mandarin Chinese is the original production language and tends to carry the most naturally timed jokes and slang references. If the player understands any Mandarin, this is the version closest to what the writers originally put on the page.

• Players can swap at any time. If unsure, play the tutorial in one language and the first open-world district in another, then decide. Progress and unlocks are not affected by the swap.

For a deeper dive into who the cast is voicing, read the Characters and Espers guide alongside this page. That article pairs each character with their background, role, and combat kit, which makes it easier to match a voice to the character to play.

One last practical note: voice volume is on a separate slider from music and effects in the audio menu. To hear delivery clearly during busy combat, bump voice volume up a notch or two relative to the rest of the mix. The cast does a lot of quieter in-combat banter that is easy to miss when the background soundtrack is at full volume.

Updates to This Page

Voice cast credits will expand as additional cast members are revealed through post-launch updates. If a character is missing from the table, it usually means the official credit has not been announced yet rather than the role being uncast. Returning characters in future banner phases keep their existing voice credits unless an update specifically reannounces a recast.
