Genshin Impact fans are trying to figure out the truth behind if Chris Prat is joining Genshin Impact.
Chris Pratt has become quite the meme material in the past few years. From the Internet's sweetheart following his roles as Andy Dwyer in Netflix' Parks and Rec and Peter "Star Lord" Quill in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy to a public fall from grace regarding a few remarks that surfaced on the actor's Instagram, Pratt has seen various angles of press coverage.
The latest quirk in his presence on the internet has become a series of jokes leveled at his voice-acting career. So, is Chris Pratt on deck to be part of the next voice actor announcement in Genshin Impact?
Is Chris Pratt Joining Genshin Impact?
No, Chris Pratt isn't actually joining Genshin Impact as part of the voice cast or otherwise.
This is part of a running joke in recent years sparked by Pratt's knack for taking on unexpected voice roles â with the cornerstone of the meme being his credit as Nintendo's iconic mascot, Mario, in the still untitled Mario film announced last year. Due to what Mario fans are calling "bizarre" casting, the internet has started to fan-cast Pratt in similarly random roles.
The latest addition to this meme appears to be Genshin Impact thanks to a tweet published by Sean Chiplock (@sonicmega) on April 5.
"Chris Pratt has officially signed on to voice 'Genshin' in the hit project Genshin Impact!" They wrote.
Obviously, there isn't a character in the game named "Genshin," leading to the realization that this is, in fact, a joke. Some have doubled down on the tweet by asking which voice actor will be revealed to be playing "Impact."
The replies are full of quality reaction images, like this one where Twitter user Chilly (@Chilly_IMV) photoshopped Pratt into a character select lineup.
Ultimately, however, when it comes to his future as part of Genshin Impact, the answer is simple: no. Chris Pratt will likely not be joining miHoYo's payroll any time soon.
