- Producer Wada says the story and characters remain largely unchanged.
- The remake is scheduled to release in 2027.

## Summary

Persona 4 Revival, the remake of Atlus's role-playing game, will make small adjustments to the behaviour of party member Yosuke Hanamura to better suit contemporary sensibilities. Producer Kazuhisa Wada confirmed in an interview with Anime Corner that while the remake will not significantly alter the story or the characters' fundamental thoughts and actions, most of the minor changes being made relate to Yosuke, who is described as sometimes insensitive in how he treats outsiders.

In the original Persona 4 and Persona 4 Golden, Yosuke is portrayed as the protagonist's abrasive, hotheaded right-hand man, with his gradual growth into a more accepting person forming a key part of his character arc. Wada said the team wanted to "lighten that up and make it a little bit more fitting for the world we live in now." The article speculates that scenes involving Yosuke's hostility towards fellow party member Kanji, and certain risqué moments, may be among those tweaked, while noting a concern that softening him too much could undermine his development. Persona 4 Revival is due for release in 2027.
