Ahead of the release of the 2.1 on 1st September, Yatco took to Twitter that she is the voice behind the new character.
“I CAN FINALLY SAY IT. I am humbled and honored to be the Raiden Shogun’s English VA in @GenshinImpact! I love the #RaidenShogun SO MUCH, and I can’t wait for you to learn more about her in #GenshinImapct 2.1! May the Electro Archon bless your summons,” Yatco wrote in her tweet.

For those new to the game, Raiden Shogun, also known as Baal and the God of Eternity, is currently the Electro Archon, among the seven archons, who rules over the in-game nation of Inazuma.
She’s indeed a major character whom Yatco, who’s voiced a number of characters in animated productions, deserves to lend her voice to.

She’s also dubbed for anime and live-action shows such as High-Rise Invasion, The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter, BNA, Better Than Us, Always a Witch, Penguin Highway, Devilman Crybaby, Violet Evergarden, Kuromukuro, and Jujutsu Kaisen.
