Summary

  • Voice actor Yuri Lowenthal recently hinted at the existence of a Persona 4 remake.
  • However, the actor says he will not be reprising his role of Yosuke Hanamura.
  • Atlus has not yet addressed the remake rumors.

Actor Yuri Lowenthal, famous for his role as Yosuke Hanamura in Persona 4, has subtly suggested that a remake of the game might be underway. While there are strong whispers in the gaming community that Atlus is developing a Persona 4 remake, the company has not yet confirmed these reports officially.

Initially unveiled in 2008, “Persona 4” quickly won over fans due to its engrossing plot and relatable characters, earning acclaim as one of the best titles within the series from critics. In 2012, an upgraded version hit the shelves, christened as “Persona 4 Golden”. This revamped edition featured a new Social Link character named Marie of the Aeon Arcana, enhanced visuals, and several innovative gameplay elements.

After the acclaimed release of “Persona 3 Reload”, there have been whispers in the gaming community suggesting that developer Atlus could be working on a remastered version of “Persona 4” featuring enhanced graphics and gameplay, along with the impending sixth installment in the series. However, Atlus has yet to officially comment on these rumors. Interestingly, voice actor Yuri Lowenthal hinted at the remake’s existence, but also mentioned that he will not reprise his role as Yosuke in this potential “Persona 4” remake, alleging that Atlus opted not to bring him back for the part.

Fans React to Yuri Lowenthal’s Persona 4 Remake Post

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’t want me to come back. — Yuri Lowenthal (@yurilowenthal.bsky.social) 2025-05-28T13:37:47.019Z

In response to Lowenthal’s post, numerous fans were taken aback to learn that a possible remake of Persona 4 might materialize, and felt let down that their favorite voice actor was not returning to his role. Simultaneously, some fans expressed apprehension about Lowenthal potentially facing backlash for seemingly confirming the existence of the rumored remake.

To date, Atlus hasn’t responded to any speculations regarding the supposed remake of Persona 4. If Lowenthal’s statement is correct, many fans feel it would be unfortunate if the original English voice actor for Yosuke wasn’t brought back, given his highly praised performance in the initial Persona 4. Simultaneously, it wouldn’t be shocking if Atlus were considering a new cast or even recasting some characters, as this was also the case with Persona 3 Reload, which features a new set of voice actors.

Speculation about upcoming releases such as the potential new installment in the Persona series, tentatively referred to as Persona 6 , and the remake of Persona 4 , suggests that Atlus may be planning for a significant period of exciting developments. Although details about both projects remain scarce, there’s a chance that Atlus could unveil additional information during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8, making it vital for fans to stay alert and attentive for any notable updates during the presentation.
