Anime News Network previewed Persona 4 Revival, Atlus's remake of Persona 4 Golden. The demo showed the Shadow Yosuke fight, new English dub voices for Yosuke and Teddie, and battle additions like Baton Pass, Prime Time, and a parry mechanic. The core combat remains unchanged, with elemental weaknesses and All Out Attacks intact.
Atlus is back with another remake after Persona 3 Reload, this time reworking Persona 4 Golden into Persona 4 Revival. The preview demo centered on Yosuke Hanamura facing his Shadow, and it introduced the new English dub cast, with Paul Castro Jr. voicing Yosuke and a notably more human-sounding Teddie replacing Sam Riegal's cartoonish take.
The battle system keeps the familiar weakness-based loop, but adds Baton Pass from Persona 5, a Prime Time gauge that grants free actions and resistance-piercing attacks, and a Series Finale ultimate move. A new parry lets you stun enemies that chase you in dungeons, flipping an ambush into an advantage.
