Rumors of a Persona 4 remake from Atlus have been swirling for some time now, but the latest fuel to the fire is coming from an unexpected place–the voice actors of two key characters have confirmed that they will not reprise those roles in the still-unannounced project.
Yuri Lowenthal, who portrayed Yosuke Hanamura in Persona 4, seemingly revealed that a Persona 4 remake was in the works in a Bluesky post about not being invited back, though Atlus has still not confirmed a remake of this RPG classic is in the works. “And for those who keep asking, no, I will not be returning as Yosuke for the Persona 4 remake,” Lowenthal remarked on Bluesky. “I asked. Maybe I even begged, but they don’t want me to come back.” The post has since been deleted.
For those asking, I have not been asked to reprise my role as Chie Satonaka in the Persona 4 remake. RIP 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I am blessed to have recorded as many Persona 4 games as I did playing her.
