Is Persona 4 Getting Remade? Yuri Lowenthal Hints Yes, but He’s Out

Sometimes the biggest gaming announcements come from the most unexpected places. A deleted social media post just might have confirmed what Persona 4 fans have been desperately hoping for—and it came with a side of drama nobody saw coming.

Yuri Lowenthal, the voice behind Yosuke Hanamura and Peter Parker in Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man games (Marvel Rivals, too), apparently let something slip that he probably shouldn’t have. The post vanished faster than you can say “social link,” but the internet never forgets.

The implications are huge, especially considering just how tight-lipped and secretive both Atlus and ***** have been about any remake plans.

The accidental Persona 4 Remake confirmation nobody expected

Lowenthal‘s now-deleted BlueSky post dropped what might be the worst-kept secret in JRPG development. While responding to persistent fan questions, he revealed more than anyone anticipated (via

):

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.

That’s not exactly subtle. The casual mention of “THE Persona 4 remake” suggests this project isn’t some distant possibility—it’s happening. The quick deletion only adds credibility to what feels like an accidental leak.

The timing makes perfect sense, too. Persona 3 Reload launched in February 2024 to massive acclaim, currently sitting at a perfect 10/10 on Steam. Atlus clearly struck gold with that remake formula, so why wouldn’t they apply it to arguably the series’ most beloved entry?

Lowenthal’s frustration about not returning is palpable, too. The fact that he “begged” to reprise Yosuke suggests some serious behind-the-scenes decisions that fans might not appreciate. Voice actor changes in beloved remakes rarely go over well.

The Persona series has become a cultural phenomenon far beyond typical JRPG boundaries. Persona 4 specifically holds a special place in gaming history, blending ******* mystery with high school life in ways that still feel fresh today.

If this remake is real—and Lowenthal’s slip strongly suggests it is—then Atlus is clearly committed to modernizing their entire catalog. After all, Persona 3 Reload proved there’s a massive appetite for these updated classics.

The voice acting situation raises interesting questions about creative direction. Lowenthal’s Yosuke was iconic, bringing perfect energy to the character’s comedic relief role. Replacing him suggests either budget constraints or a desire to completely reimagine the character.

This could signal a broader trend in the industry. Successful remakes often lead to entire franchise overhauls, and Persona seems perfectly positioned for that treatment. The series’ blend of social simulation and dungeon crawling has influenced countless games since.

The silence from Atlus and ***** becomes more telling with each passing day. They’re either planning a massive reveal or scrambling to control damage from this leak. Either way, fans now have concrete reason to believe their remake dreams are becoming reality.

What do you think about potential voice actor changes in the Persona 4 remake? Are you team “recast everyone” or “don’t touch the original voices”? Let us know in the comments below!
