Voice Actors

Neverness to Everness features 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 in NTE.

Playable Character Voice Cast

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

Voice Direction

The English voice production for Neverness to Everness is directed by Brook Chalmers and Chris Faiella, both credited on the game's IMDB listing. 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 NTE cast share connections through other popular game and anime franchises:

Brianna Knickerbocker voices two playable characters in NTE, performing as both Sakiri and Mint. She is well known in the Genshin Impact community for voicing Noelle and in the anime world for voicing Rem in Re:Zero.

Baraka May also takes on dual roles, voicing both Lacrimosa and Jiuyuan in the English dub.

In the Japanese dub, Yuma Uchida and Maaya Uchida, who are real-life siblings, voice the Male and Female versions of Esper Zero respectively. Both are prolific voice actors in the anime industry, with Yuma known for Megumi Fushiguro in Jujutsu Kaisen and Maaya known for Norman in The Promised Neverland.

Amber Lee Connors, who voices Fadia, is also known for voicing Furina in Genshin Impact, making her one of several cast members with crossover experience in gacha action RPGs.

Griffin Burns, the English voice of Baicang, voices Childe (Tartaglia) in the English version of Genshin Impact, while Baicang's Japanese VA, Yuichi Nakamura, is the voice of Gojo Satoru in Jujutsu Kaisen.

Trivia

Suzie Yeung, who voices Female Esper Zero, is also known for playing Eula Lawrence in Genshin Impact and Robin in the English dub of Honkai: Star Rail, making her a familiar voice to fans of HoYoverse titles.

Casey Mongillo, the English voice of Edgar, gained widespread attention for their role as Shinji Ikari in the 2021 Amazon dub of Neon Genesis Evangelion and the theatrical release of Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time.

Toshiyuki Morikawa, who voices Adler in Japanese, is one of the most decorated voice actors in the industry. He is best known for voicing Sephiroth across the entire Final Fantasy VII franchise, as well as Minato Namikaze in Naruto.

Supported Voice Languages

NTE ships with three fully produced voice tracks at global launch, with 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 in the box 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, so you do not need to reload into a separate screen.

• Open the pause menu and select Settings.

• Pick the Audio tab (not the Graphics tab where graphics settings live).

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

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

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

Because voice data is shipped 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 Studios

The English localization is directed by Brook Chalmers and Chris Faiella, both of whom have credits on large anime and video game productions listed across the Dubbing Wikia and Behind The Voice Actors databases. 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 rather than a single press release. The Mandarin track is produced in-house by Hotta Studio's audio department, which matches the workflow used on the studio's earlier titles.

Specific recording studio names have not been disclosed on the official site 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 you notice a line landing differently in one language, that is a natural byproduct of three independent directors interpreting the same source script.

Lip Sync Integration

NTE 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 you swap voice tracks mid-scene, facial animation refreshes so that the mouth movement lines up with whichever language the character is speaking in that playthrough. This matters for cinematic cutscenes where a mismatch is most visible.

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 also drives the Stories from Eibon short-film content. These narrative shorts reuse the main cast and the same voice tracks, so swapping your voice language before launching a short film carries the change into the film seamlessly. The ambient music and the 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. That said, here are a few things players have pointed out that can help you decide.

• English is the most common pick for players coming from Western action RPGs. The cast includes veterans from Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail, so the delivery style will feel familiar if those games are your frame of reference.

• Japanese leans into anime-style performances and is a natural fit if you are watching simulcast anime in the background of your 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 you can read or understand any Mandarin, this is the version closest to what the writers originally put on the page.

• You can swap at any time. If you are 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 you like to the character you want to play.

One last practical note: voice volume is on a separate slider from music and effects in the audio menu. If you want to hear the 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.

A Note on This Page

Voice actor attributions listed in the Playable Character Voice Cast table above are drawn from public announcements by Hotta Studio, the Japan Seiyuu community page, IMDb, the Dubbing Wikia, and Behind The Voice Actors. Credits may expand as additional cast members are revealed closer to launch and 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.
