Since Persona 2 Reload’s launch last year, there has been no shortage of rumours and speculation that have suggested that Persona 4 is set to get the same treatment. Interestingly, we may now have received the strongest indication yet that that is indeed happening, short of an official announcement.
Actor Yuri Lowenthal, best known for playing Peter Parker / Spider-Man in Insomniac and PlayStation’s Spider-Man games, and the voice of core cast character Yosuke Hanamura in Persona 4, may have accidentally confirmed a remake’s existence.
Taking recently to BlueSky and responding to a fan’s question, Lowenthal claimed that he “begged” to reprise his role his Y0suke in the Persona 4 remake, but Atlus declined. A Persona 4 remake has yet to be officially announced. Lowenthal has since then deleted his post.
“And for those who keep asking, no, I will not be returning as Yosuke for the Persona 4 remake,” the actor wrote (via VGC). “I asked. Maybe I even begged, but they don’t want me to come back.”
Interestingly, earlier this year, Atlus also registered what was believed to be a domain for a Persona 4 remake, suggesting that an announcement could be relatively close. If such an announcement is indeed on the horizon, we could potentially hear something about it at Summer Game Fest next week.
