The highly anticipated Persona 4 remake appears increasingly likely after original voice actor Yuri Lowenthal confirmed he won't be reprising his role in the unannounced project.
Yuri Lowenthal, who famously voiced Yosuke Hanamura in Persona 4 and its spin-offs, revealed on BlueSky that he won't return for the remake. "For those asking, no, I'm not returning as Yosuke for the Persona 4 remake," Lowenthal stated. "I inquired - perhaps even pleaded - but wasn't invited back."
While developer Atlus hasn't officially confirmed the remake's existence, Lowenthal's comments strongly suggest it's in development. We've contacted Sega/Atlus for clarification.
This news emerges during the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, where video game actors continue fighting for AI protections. Though Lowenthal is a union member, it's uncertain whether labor negotiations influenced casting decisions. SAG-AFTRA recently stated negotiations remain "frustratingly far apart" with industry representatives.
Rumors have circulated for months about a potential Persona 4 remake, with leaked domain registrations earlier this year fueling speculation. Following Persona 3 Reload's success, a similar treatment for Persona 4 seems logical.
Lowenthal's unexpected confirmation offers the strongest evidence yet that Atlus is working on the project. With Persona 3 Reload being announced during summer 2023's Xbox showcase, many anticipate a similar reveal window this year.
For Persona enthusiasts, the mobile/PC spinoff Persona 5: The Phantom X arrives June 26, 2025, offering more content from the beloved fifth installment.
