While the highly anticipated new sixth installment in "Megami Tensei" franchise — titled "Persona 5" — has already been out in Japan for a few weeks now, eager fans in North America apparently still have to wait a few more months until they can get their hands on the game.
However, the wait will apparently be well worth it as the game is now in the process of being fully translated with a brand new set of voice actors set to bring to life each and every character in the game.
The latest role-playing video game developed by Atlus was released in Japan last month. The game's full English version, on the other hand, is scheduled to be released in February next year.
Following the Japanese release, Atlus has now confirmed that it has hired a new set of voice actors and has apparently let go of the old cast of the previous game.
The new voice actors will include Xander Mobus as the story's main protagonist, Cassandra Morris as Morgana, Max Mittelman as Ryuji Sakamoto, Erika Harlacher as Ann Takamaki, Matt Mercer as Yusuke Kitagawa, Erica Lindbeck as Futuba Sakura, Cherami Leight as Makoto Niijima, Robbie Daymond as Goro Akechi, and finally Xanthe Huynh as Haru Okumura.
The games developer also revealed that much of the voice work that will be done for the game will be supervised by the franchise's project lead in North America, Yu Namba.
The long-time project lead of the "Persona" franchise had also released his own statement regarding the on-going translation process and mentioned that they had brought on board a new set of voice actors in order for them to "bring an entirely new tone" for the characters in the game.
It was also revealed that the company would be releasing several spotlight videos before the English version release that would cover each and every character in the game. The videos will also include interviews with the voice actors themselves where they will be able to talk about their respective roles.
