Summary
Voice actor Yuri Lowenthal, known for playing Yosuke Hanamura inPersona 4, has hinted at the existence of the game’s remake. It’s been heavily rumored that Atlus is working on aPersona 4remake, but the developer has yet to make an official announcement.
First released in 2008,Persona 4captured the hearts of fans with its compelling story and relatable characters, with critics calling it one of the best games in the franchise. Four years later, an enhanced version was launched titledPersona 4 Golden, which introduced anadditional Social Link named Marieof the Aeon Arcana, improved graphics, and other new gameplay features.
FollowingPersona 3 Reload’s success, there have been rumors that Atlus is developing aPersona 4remake with updated graphics and gameplay, on top of the upcoming sixthPersonagame. The developer hasn’t addressed any of the rumors yet, but Yuri Lowenthal seemingly confirmed that the remake was happening. However, there’s a catch. In a Bluesky post, Lowenthal said that he won’t be returning as Yosuke in thePersona 4remake, claiming that Atlus allegedly didn’t want him back for the role.
Fans React to Yuri Lowenthal’s Persona 4 Remake Post
In the replies to Lowenthal’s post, many fans were surprised by the fact that thePersona 4remake might actually be happening, and also disappointed that the voice actor wasn’t reprising his role. At the same time, some expressed concerns about Lowenthal receiving hate for possibly confirming the existence of the rumored remake.
So far, Atlus still hasn’t addressed any of the claims about the rumoredPersona 4remake. However, if what Lowenthal said is true, many believe that it would be a shame not to have Yosuke’s original English voice actor return, as longtime fans applauded his performance in the originalPersona 4. At the same time, it’s also not surprising that Atlus is possibly getting a new cast or recasting certain characters, especially sincePersona 3 Reloadalso has a fresh set of voice actors.
WithPersona 6and thePersona 4remake rumored to be in Atlus' pipeline, the developer could be gearing up for a big year or two ahead. There’s still a lot of mystery surrounding both projects, but there’s also a possibility thatAtlus might reveal more detailsduring the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8, so many fans might want to keep their eyes peeled for any important announcements during the presentation.
