British actress Jennifer English, known for her acclaimed roles in Baldur's Gate 3 and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, has left the cast of Tides of Annihilation, the upcoming action title from Eclipse Glow Games. She explained that the decision was made in order to look after her mental and physical health, without sharing further details about her current condition.
English had become one of the most beloved voices in recent narrative gaming, thanks to her performances in two of the most highly praised titles of the past few years. Her involvement in Tides of Annihilation had generated significant anticipation among fans following her career closely, making the announcement of her departure a surprising moment for the community.
It has not been confirmed who will take over the role she is leaving behind, nor how this change might affect the game's development timeline or release date. Eclipse Glow Games has also not clarified whether new voice or motion capture sessions will be required to replace material already recorded.
Mental health among voice and motion capture performers has become an increasingly visible topic within the industry, particularly following several recent cases of professionals speaking openly about the physical and emotional toll of these demanding roles. English's decision adds to that broader conversation, though no specific incident tied to her work on the project has been disclosed.
Eclipse Glow Games is expected to share more information in the coming weeks regarding the character's future and the game's overall progress, as development continues. In the meantime, fans have expressed support for English and hopes for her swift recovery.
