Yuri Lowenthal took to Bluesky to discuss the possibility of him playing Yosuke Hanamura in a possible Persona 4 remake. He definitively said it won’t happen. He also said, “…They don’t want me to come back.” He voiced the character since the original game, which debuted in 2008.

Here is a screenshot of Lowenthal’s statement on Bluesky. In it, he addressed the fact that multiple people apparently brought up the question. He also referenced a possible Persona 4 remake, though Atlus hasn’t announced any revival project for that entry.

Yuri Lowenthal has been the English voice actor for Yosuke for multiple Persona 4 projects and general Persona games. In addition to playing the character in the original game and Golden update, he also played the role in spin-offs like Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4: Dancing All Night

If a Persona 4 remake did happen, it wouldn’t be unprecedented for Atlus to go with an actor other than Yuri Lowenthal to play Yosuke. When the company made the  Persona 3 Reload remake, it went with an entirely new English cast

Persona 4 is available on the PS2, and Persona 4 Golden showed up on the Switch, PS4, Vita, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. Atlus hasn’t announced a remake of it, but did release a remake of Persona 3 in 2024.
