The possibility of a remake of either Persona 4 Golden or the original Persona 4 has been a topic of speculation for some time. However, recent comments from the original voice actor have provided some clarity.

Yuri Lowenthal, known for voicing Yosuke Hanamura in Persona 4, shared on social media that while he expressed interest in reprising his role, it seems Atlus is not keen on bringing him back for the potential remake.

Regarding the frequent inquiries, I will not be returning as Yosuke for the Persona 4 remake. I requested it, perhaps pleading, but there are no plans for me to return.

Lowenthal’s remarks not only confirm the likelihood of a forthcoming Persona 4 remake but also highlight an unusual decision regarding casting. Switch users previously missed out on Persona 3 Reload when it launched in 2024, but with the upcoming Switch 2, fans anticipate ports of Reload and the arrival of a Persona 4 remake.

Persona 4 Golden, a PS Vita update of the original game, was released on the Nintendo Switch in 2023 following years of fanrequests. It was joined by Persona 3 Portable and Persona 5 Royal. The series is celebrated for its distinctive style and intricate social mechanics, making it one of the most distinguished in the JRPG genre.
