The latest trailer for Persona 4 Revival finally gave fans a closer look at Atlus’ upcoming remake, but it wasn’t just the updated visuals that caught attention.

While Atlus still hasn’t officially revealed the actors behind Persona 4 Revival’s main characters, it’s now clear that the cast has been completely recast. That’s not entirely surprising. Rumors about a remake had been circulating for years, and several original voice actors previously confirmed they hadn’t been asked to return.

One of those actors was Erin Fitzgerald, the second actor to voice Chie Satonaka in Persona 4 Golden and multiple spin-offs. Following the new trailer, Fitzgerald shared an emotional message on social media, saying she was “deeply grieving” while also expressing gratitude for the opportunity to play the beloved character:

“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.”

The situation mirrors what happened with Persona 3 Reload, which also introduced a completely new English cast. While many players eventually embraced those performances, there was an adjustment period for fans attached to the original voices.

Players won’t have to wait too long either, as Persona 4 Revival is currently scheduled to launch on February 18, 2027 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, with Persona 6 waiting in the wings afterward.
