Okay, so here’s the deal. Yuri Lowenthal, the dude with that voice you might recognize from, well, everywhere, just kinda let it slip on his Bluesky account that he’s not doing Yosuke for the Persona 4 remake. Wait—what remake? Exactly, that’s what we all thought. Nobody even knew that was a thing until Yuri’s post showed up.
So, he goes, “And for those who keep asking, no, I’m not coming back as Yosuke in the Persona 4 remake. Asked them, maybe kinda begged, but nah, they’re not vibing with me.” And it’s like – that “And” at the start? Classic. Probably had Atlus’ PR crew scrambling.
Now, let’s rewind. The rumor mill about a Persona 4 remake has been buzzing forever. Persona 3 Reload dropped in 2024—what were they gonna do next, have tea? Obviously, another remake was on the horizon. Plus, when they redid Persona 3, they swapped out the voice cast anyway, so recasting for Persona 4 fits, kinda like everyone expected it. Or didn’t. Whatever.
Polygon’s working their magic, pestering Atlus and Lowenthal for a word, a comment, a hint. I’ll keep an ear out if they cough up anything worth mentioning.
