Atlus has confirmed a full remake of Persona 4 Revival, arriving on February 18, 2027. The announcement at the Xbox Games Showcase 2026 came with a two-minute gameplay trailer that showed updated visuals, revised combat mechanics, and, for longtime fans, the clearest sign yet that the English voice cast has been completely replaced. For many, that last part carries as much weight as anything else in the reveal. One of the actors affected, Erin Fitzgerald โ€” who voiced Chie Satonaka across Persona 4 Golden and multiple spin-offs โ€” posted an emotional message on Bluesky after the trailer went live. The cast situation mirrors what happened with Persona 3 Reload, which launched in February 2024 with an entirely new English cast.

Persona 4 Revival is a remake of Persona 4 Golden, the expanded 2012 version of the original 2008 PS2 title. It’s coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam, and will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one. Nintendo Switch 2 has not been confirmed. Here’s the full picture of what’s been covered and confirmed so far.

Who’s In, Who’s Out

Atlus has not officially named the new cast. What is confirmed: every original English voice actor for the main party has been replaced. The pattern follows Persona 3 Reload, where the full ensemble was also recast. Prominent names from the original game โ€” Troy Baker (Kanji Tatsumi), Yuri Lowenthal (Yosuke Hanamura), and Erin Fitzgerald (Chie Satonaka) โ€” are all out. Click any card for more detail.

I’m ok chat. I’m just deeply grieving. Everything in life is transient. I celebrate that the experience happened. I am grateful that I lived it FULLY. Thank you for sharing the journey with me. Yukiko, i will love u forever. Yosuke, let’s go get a burger.

Revival vs. Golden โ€” Key Changes

Tap each item for details. This covers what Atlus has confirmed as of June 2026.

Based on the reveal trailer and confirmed character additions โ€” including Marie, a character exclusive to Persona 4 Golden โ€” Persona 4 Revival is a remake of Persona 4 Golden, the expanded 2012 PS Vita version, not the original 2008 PS2 release. Atlus has not made a separate statement specifying this distinction, but the inclusion of Golden-exclusive content confirms it.
The trailer confirmed Baton Pass โ€” a mechanic introduced in Persona 5 โ€” is in Revival, allowing players to pass their turn to an ally after triggering a 1 More. A Series Finale system (similar to Persona 3 Reload’s Theurgy) appears to also be present as an ultimate attack mechanic. Atlus has described the game as featuring “improved gameplay, modern aesthetics, and quality-of-life updates.”
Yes. Shiori Sasaki is confirmed as the new vocalist, replacing Shihoko Hirata, who performed the original Persona 4 soundtrack. Ryota Kozuka handles composition for new tracks. Persona 4’s original music was composed by Shoji Meguro.
Inaba is a fictional rural Japanese town โ€” the setting for the entire Persona 4 story. Points of interest include the Central Shopping District, the Junes department store, Samegawa Flood Plain, Shichiri Beach, and the Amagi Inn. The story follows a second-year high school transfer student investigating a series of murders, a mysterious TV channel that appears on rainy nights, and a parallel dimension accessible through TV screens. The town was designed around a strong sense of community in a slow-paced, somewhat declining rural area. Per the Xbox Wire blog, further location and character details have been confirmed by the development team.
Atlus confirmed Persona 6 during the same Xbox Games Showcase 2026 where the Persona 4 Revival release date was revealed. No release date or platforms for Persona 6 were announced at that time. Both games are on the radar for major 2026-era Atlus announcements. Pre-orders for Persona 4 Revival also went live following the showcase โ€” on Xbox storefront and through Game Pass reservation, while Steam and PlayStation Store shifted to wishlist status ahead of full pre-order availability.

Persona 4 Revival was covered here with its February 18, 2027 launch date, confirmed platforms โ€” PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam โ€” and its status as a remake of Persona 4 Golden. The full English voice cast replacement was addressed, including Erin Fitzgerald’s public Bluesky post. The timeline of events from the 2008 original through to the 2026 release date confirmation was laid out, alongside confirmed changes to gameplay mechanics, music, and pricing tiers. Persona 6 was also noted as having been announced at the same showcase.
