Persona 3 Reload will see Atlus remake absolutely everything from the 2006 RPG and, as revealed in a new trailer, this includes bringing in a new voice cast.
Atlus released a gameplay reveal trailer for Persona 3 Reload (despite the initial trailer featuring gameplay) that showcases a handful of the game’s party members and their new voices.
Heather Gonzalez, who played Mineru in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Malaya in Octopath Traveler 2, will take on the role of Yukari Takeba, previously played by Michelle Ruff.
Another prominent inclusion is Zeno Robinson, who played Sakaki in My Hero Academia, as Junpei Iori, previously portrayed by Vic Mignogna.
Aleks Le will also replace Yuri Lowenthal as the protagonist, Allegra Clark will replace Tara Platt as Mitsuru Kirijo, Alehandro Saab will replace Liam O’Brien as Akihiko Sanada, and Suzie Yeung will replace Paula Tiso as Fuuka Yamagishi.
The gameplay reveal trailer (above) acts as an introduction to these various characters, and shows the protagonist chatting with them, running around school, and battling Shadows.
Persona 3 Reload was finally announced at the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase following a string of rumours and one final leak ahead of the event.
It will specifically recreate Persona 3, not Persona 3 FES or Persona 3 Portable, meaning there won’t be a female protagonist or any of the other additional content those versions brought. Unlike Persona 5 Tactica, which was announced alongside it, Persona 3 Reload won’t be coming to Nintendo Switch, though rumours around that version have also begun after Play Asia listed the game and said it wasn’t a mistake.
