Persona 4 remake is happening as actor reveals he was rejected by Atlus
A voice actor from Persona 4 has confirmed a remake is in development, after he 'begged' developer Atlus to be a part of it. The success of Persona 3 Reload has made another remake in the series practically inevitable, but several rumours in recent months have suggested an announcement could be around the corner. Earlier this year, singer Shihoko Hirata, who is best known for tracks in Persona 4, appeared to drop a hint she was recording for a new game. Since then, developer Atlus has filed a domain name with a Persona 4 reference, which mirrors the domain name for Persona 3 Reload. While this evidence already strongly suggested a Persona 4 remake is in development, a voice actor on the original game, Yuri Lowenthal, has now basically confirmed it. In a post on Bluesky, Lowenthal, who provided the English voice for Yosuke Hanamura in the original game, said he wouldn't be reprising the role in the Persona 4 remake after Atlus turned him down. 'And for those who keep asking, no, I will not be returning as Yosuke for the Persona 4 remake,' Lowenthal wrote. 'I asked. Maybe I even begged, but they don't want me to come back.' Persona 3 Reload featured an entirely new English voice cast from the original game, so it's possible Atlus is simply committing to the same clean slate for the next remake. Lowenthal, who voiced the protagonist in the original Persona 3, similarly didn't reprise his role in Persona 3 Reload. However, he did voice another character, Eiichiro Takeba, in the remake – so it's possible the actor could make a guest appearance in the revamped version of Persona 4. More Trending Along with Yosuke, Lowenthal has voiced a variety of characters in video games, including Peter Parker in Marvel's Spider-Man and the Prince in Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time. Atlus has not officially announced a Persona 4 remake, but a reliable insider recently teased that a 'few Japanese games' will be revealed during Summer Game Fest on Friday, June 6, so it's possible we could see an announcement there. Along with a Persona 4 remake, fans are waiting on news of the similarly inevitable Persona 6. The game's predecessor, Persona 5, launched over eight years ago and has spawned a multitude of spin-offs since.
