Persona 3 Reload Gameplay Trailer Gives First Look At New English Voice Cast

Persona 3 Reload was announced earlier this year, a complete remake of the original Persona 3 that launched back in 2006. Further details provided after the show revealed just what Atlus is planning to overhaul, along with the reveal that the original game's voice cast would not be returning.

Earlier today, a new gameplay trailer for Persona 3 Reload dropped via the official Xbox YouTube account. This trailer featured a bit more Shadow combat, but it also included several snippets of the game's characters chatting away, giving us our first look at the game's new English voice cast. The characters that feature in the trailer are Yukari, Junpei, Fuuka, Akihiko, and Mitsuru, meaning we've still yet to hear the new voices for Ken and Aigis.

They're still pretty good performances from what you can gather from these small snippets, but it'll probably take some getting used to since the two had fairly distinct voices in the original titles.

If you want to hear more of these character voices, the actors behind them also recently did a panel during this year's Anime Expo. Obviously, it's not in the best conditions given that they're
