Another originalPersona 4voice actor has confirmed that she will not be part of the rumoredPersona 4remake. Yesterday, Yuri Lowenthal, who played Yosuke in the original game, confirmed he wasnot part of the unannouncedP4remake project, despite reportedly “begging” to be a part of it. The post has since been removed, but now, with another original voice actor also confirming she isn’t a part of the supposed remake, the evidence is continuing to grow for a potentialP4remake announcement soon.
According to a Bluesky post fromErin Fitzgerald,she will not be reprising her role as Chiein the allegedPersona 4remake (viaVGC). Her post went on to say she is grateful to have played Chie in several games, writing:“I am blessed to have recorded as many Persona 4 games as I did playing her.“A remake ofP4has not been confirmed by Atlus or other official sources yet.
Erin Fitzgerald Won’t Be Returning For A Persona 4 Remake
Both Chie And Yosuke Will Get New Voice Actors, Allegedly
With both Yosuke’s and Chie’s original voice actors saying they are out of the picture for a remake, it seems like the allegedP4remake will be takingan approach similar toPersona 3 Reload, the remake of the third game, which released in February 2024. There wereseveral changes made toP3 Reloadfrom the original game, and a big one was the recasting of most of the voice actors. The only original English voice actor who returned forReloadwas Tara Platt, who played Elizabeth.
Reloadalso introduced several new voice lines, especially in theSocial Link stories, many of which didn’t have voice acting originally.Reloadwas the first Atlus game to be fully voiced. Later in 2024,Metaphor: Refantaziowas released as a new IP that was similar in style to thePersonaseries, and it lacked voice acting in quite a few places, with just text instead. If the allegedP4remake exists, it seems likely that most, if not all, the dialogue will be newly recorded with new actors.
Our Take: New Actors Might Give Even More Weight To The Existence Of P4 Remake
New Actors Will Probably Bring New Dialogue
Theevidence is piling upfor the rumoredP4remake. Earlier this year, a website domain was registered for aP4remake, and thatwebsite domain was recently updated. The same thing happened in 2023, withP3 Reloadgetting an updated website domain, and then it was revealed in June at the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase and confirmed as a day-one Xbox Game Pass game. With the 2025 Xbox Games Showcase taking place on June 8, it seems like the obvious candidate for theP4remake to be revealed, if it does indeed exist.
Fans will likely bedivided on the recasting of Yosuke and now Chie, but if there is a lot of new dialogue, strong performances, and a comparable variety of new content in the supposedP4remake toP3 Reload’s additions, then fans may have a lot to look forward to. It now seems like it’s not a matter of if the game exists, but when the allegedPersona 4remake will be revealed, and if Atlus follows the same pattern asP3 Reload, the confirmation of the game’s existence shouldn’t be too far away.
