Persona 4 Revival keeps Japanese cast but replaces English leads for Yu, Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko and Marie

Persona 4 Revival is scheduled for February 18, 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, and the first revealed voice-cast details split by language. The Japanese cast returns for Yu Narukami, Yosuke Hanamura, Chie Satonaka, Yukiko Amagi, and Marie, while Atlus is using new English actors for those same characters. The r/Games post was created within the last day and linked reporting on the confirmed cast list.

The new English lineup reported by RPG Site includes Nazeeh Tarsha as Yu Narukami, Paul Castro Jr. as Yosuke Hanamura, Anne Yatco as Chie Satonaka, Brianna Knickerbocker as Yukiko Amagi, and Ari Thrash as Marie. That makes the remake closer to Persona 3 Reload’s English-cast reset than a straight return of the original dub. Players choosing Japanese audio should hear continuity from the earlier release; players choosing English should expect different performances for several of the most visible roles.

The Reddit discussion focused on cost, availability, and whether original English actors could return in smaller roles. One top comment compared the new lineup with the price of bringing back names such as Yuri Lowenthal, Troy Baker, and Laura Bailey, while replies pointed to Persona 3 Reload’s approach of using some former cast members as NPCs. The player-facing question is not only nostalgia. The final test will be whether the new dub fits the original character dynamics without sounding like an imitation exercise.
