Honkai Star Rail's next big patch is here, with version 3.3 bringing a host of new characters, areas, and story beats for players to dive into on PS5, PC, and mobile devices. It also brings with it brand-new voice actors for the main character, Trailblazer, with both its male and female voice actors being replaced.
The Honkai Star Rail version 3.3 patch notes confirm that Caelus and Stelle – the proper names for the Trailblazer – have had new voice lines added in English, specifically in their Remembrance forms. These new voice lines will play in combat while using the Remembrance form, and in new story missions introduced in version 3.3. Developer HoYoverse also confirmed that future updates will replace the voice lines used in older missions and other forms of the character.

The reason for their replacement seems to be related to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA voice actors strike, as Caleb Yen and Rachael Chau – the voice actors for Trailblazer's male and female variants, respectively – have not participated in recent recording sessions in solidarity. Their absence from those sessions has resulted in the Trailblazer remaining silent in recent updates to the game, and speculation that the two had been replaced started up after a trailer for Hyacine featured an appearance by Caelus which appeared to be voiced by someone other than Yen.
You can see the full patch notes for Honkai Star Rail version 3.3 below, or visit the HoYoverse blog to see the full list of adjustments and bug fixes.
Honkai Star Rail Version 3.3 Patch Notes

Hyacine is a healer character who summons the memosprite Little Ica and increases all allies' Max HP. When allies' HP decreases, Little Ica instantly restores their HP. The more healing Hyacine and Little Ica provide, the higher the DMG Little Ica deals to enemies.

"Cloudedge Bastion Ruins" Eye of Twilight
After the Daythunder Knight fought and slew Aquila, the remnants of the sky civilization had arrived on earth, leaving the ruins of the floating fortress hidden in the boundless horizon.
"Lightless Chapel" Dawncloud
People who have lost the dawn gather in a narrow refuge, under the twilight of the apocalypse, praying to a deity who can no longer respond, pleading for a future.
