Atlus has tapped Daman Mills to voice Kanji Tatsumi in Persona 4 Revival, replacing Troy Baker and Matt Mercer for the upcoming remake. The game launches on February 18, 2027, with day-one availability on Xbox Game Pass.
Atlus has officially named Daman Mills as the new voice actor for Kanji Tatsumi in the upcoming Persona 4 Revival, replacing industry veterans Troy Baker and Matt Mercer. Revealed during a recent panel at PAX West, the recasting aligns with Atlus's strategy to rebuild the entire voice cast for the eagerly awaited remake. Mills brings a wealth of experience to the role, having previously voiced characters in Dragon Ball, Final Fantasy VII Remake, and several other Atlus titles including Persona 3 Reload and Shin Megami Tensei 5.
Taking over the role of Kanji carries significant weight for the community, as the character remains a groundbreaking figure in gaming for his nuanced exploration of gender identity and personal insecurity. Mills acknowledged these complex layers during the panel, highlighting how Kanji navigates societal norms and personal acceptance throughout the narrative. Alongside the fresh voice direction, the remake is also poised to refine some of the more dated character dynamics from the original release, particularly how other cast members interact with Kanji, to better resonate with modern players.
Polygon originally reported these casting details alongside updates on the game's broader modernization efforts. Persona 4 Revival is scheduled to launch on February 18, 2027, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, with a day-one release on Game Pass ensuring broad access for both longtime fans and newcomers diving into the franchise for the first time. As modern platform flexibility and day-one subscription launches become the standard for major RPG releases, this rollout puts the classic title right where today's players are active.
