Will a remake be announced next month? (Atlus)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A voice actor from Persona 4 has confirmed a remake is in development, after he ‘begged’ developer Atlus to be a part of it.<\/p>\n

The success of Persona 3 Reload<\/a> has made another remake in the series practically inevitable, but several rumours in recent months have suggested an announcement could be around the corner.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, singer Shihoko Hirata, who is best known for tracks in Persona 4, appeared to drop a hint<\/a> she was recording for a new game. Since then, developer Atlus has filed a domain name<\/a> with a Persona 4<\/a> reference, which mirrors the domain name for Persona 3 Reload.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

‘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.’<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

And for those who keep asking, no, I will not be returning as Yosuke for the Persona 4 remake. I asked. Maybe I even begged, but they don\u2019t want me to come back.<\/p>\n

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 \u2013 so it’s possible the actor could make a guest appearance in the revamped version of Persona 4.<\/p>\n

Along with Yosuke, Lowenthal has voiced a variety of characters in video games, including Peter Parker in Marvel’s Spider-Man<\/a> and the Prince in Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time.<\/p>\n

Atlus has not officially announced a Persona 4 remake, but a reliable insider recently<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

Along with a Persona 4 remake, fans are waiting on news of the similarly inevitable Persona 6. The game’s predecessor, Persona 5<\/a>, launched over eight years ago and has spawned a multitude of spin-offs since.<\/p>\n
