It appears that the remake of the has likely been verified, as voice actor Yuri Lowenthal announced in a since-removed social media post that he will no longer be participating in the project.

Over time, rumors circulated about the game being genuine, although Atlus had not yet verified its authenticity.

Yuri Lowenthal May Have Confirmed That Persona 4 Remake Is Real

The Famous Voice Actor Spoke Out in a Now-Deleted Post

A since-removed tweet from BlueSky, archived by Twitter user Persona 4, shows that voice actor Yuri Lowenthal has verified the existence of the remake, yet he requested to reprise his role and was denied.

The post was removed, possibly indicating that Lowenthal may have revealed too much information. Given Atlus’ penchant for reintroducing beloved Persona characters in crossover and spin-off titles, as well as their presence in other games produced by the studio, this isn’t entirely unexpected.

If Lowenthal’s assertion holds true, then we can expect that the Persona 4 Remake will boast of new voice talents, which is quite unexpected given the deep-seated affection fans have for the original cast, a connection reinforced by their continued presence in various Persona productions previously.

It seems Atlus might be aiming for a fresh beginning with the Persona 4 Remake, possibly to separate it from the numerous adaptations and updates of the original game. However, if this involves a new voice cast, existing fans may express disappointment due to the absence of familiar voices. New actors stepping into these roles might face unwarranted criticism, despite having no role in the previous versions. Here’s hoping that, should there be a Persona 4 Remake featuring a new cast, longtime fans will give them a fair chance.
