The long discussed and worst kept secret at Atlus for this month has to be the remake for Persona 4. Now after the reveal of Persona 4 Revival at the Xbox Games Showcase last weekend we take a look into why it disappointed so many. Big thanks to Liam for joining me on the show to discuss this and much more.

Another week another amazing interview with a voice actor who will be in Raidou Remastered next month! This week I got to chat with Dawn M. Bennett who most of you may know from Aigis in Persona 3 Reload and will be hearing soon as Tae in Raidou Remastered. Dawn was a blast to chat with from voice acting, food, and even some P5X! https://www.dawnmbennett.com/ Twitter/X @DawnMBennettVA Support the podcast: Patron.com/SMTN   Subscribe on YouTube Here: https://www.youtube.com/user/torchwood4SP  Check out the Shin Megami Tensei Network podcast on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shin-megami-tensei-network/id1527210478  Spotify: https://t.co/wOXqDqPqoc?amp=1 Find us online X/Twitter @SMTNetwork @Torchwood4sp  Bluesky @Smtnetwork.bsky.social  Join the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SMTNetwork  Join our discord.gg/TkBgNpp

Longtime listeners of SMTN may remember Ross Brierley from his time at Ghostlight Games when we invited him on the podcast way back when. Ghostlight was the European publisher of various games like Persona 3 Portable, Trails In The Sky, and even released Nocturne as Lucifer's Call. Ross looks back at the last 18 years at Ghostlight with us and I hope you all enjoy the long episode.

Solo show this week, but we talk about how Naka Kon 2025 was and even take a closer look at what a Persona 4 remake actually means.
