'Persona 5' release date, news: English voice cast on show in new trailer

"Persona 5" will feature fully voiced characters, but as of writing, only the Japanese version of the game is available. Fortunately, Atlus has revealed the full list of English voice actors for the upcoming English version of the game, which will launch in Europe and North America next year. The game company also revealed a trailer focusing on the protagonist.

As stated in a report from Gematsu, the protagonist is going to be voiced by Xander Mobus, who also voiced Dagda in "Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse" and as the announcer for "Super Smash Bros." on the Wii-U and 3DS. He also did voice work for "Dust: An Elysian Tail" and for the English dub of the "One Punch Man" anime series.

Morgana, the cat-like being that accompanies the main protagonist, is being played by Cassandra Morris. She is known primarily for voicing Edea Lee in "Bravely Default" and Leafa in the "Sword Art Online" anime series.

Max Mittelman, known for voicing Saitama in "One Punch Man," will be voicing Ryuji Sakamoto, one of the close friends of the protagonist. Anne Takamaki, the protagonist, and Ryuji's Japanese-American friend will be voiced by Erika Harlacher. Harlacher is known for voicing Kyoko in the "Danganropa" games and Kurapika in the 2011 "Hunter x Hunter" anime.

Yusuke Kitagawa, a character who later on joins the protagonist as an ally, will be voiced by Matt Mercer. Mercer has voiced multiple characters such as Fei Long in the "Street Fighter" games, Leon Kennedy in the "Resident Evil" franchise, and Cor Leonis in the upcoming "Final Fantasy XV." He is also the Dungeon Master in the "Dungeons and Dragons" show, "Critical Role."

Cherami Leigh will be voicing Makoto Niijima, Erica Lindbeck will be voicing Futaba Sakura, Xanthe Huynh will voice Haru Okumura, and Robbie Daymond will voice Goro Akechi.

Along with the announcement is the new trailer that teases some of the voices but focuses primarily on Xander Mobus' portrayal of the main character.

"Persona 5" will launch for the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation 4 on Feb. 14, 2017. The game launched in Japan this past September.
