Summary
Persona 3 Reloadhas confirmed that the voice actor for Metis, one of the central characters in the game’s upcoming Episode Aigis: The Answer DLC, will be played a new actor, Lizzie Freeman. One of the biggest things aboutPersona 3 Reloadis its brand-new cast in the English dub. Barring a few exceptions, almost every single character in the game has a new voice actor when compared to the originalPersona 3. The same case applies for the upcoming playable epilogue DLC.
Episode Aigis: The Answer is a part ofPersona 3 Reload’s Expansion Pass, a pack of post-launch DLC that has been steadily released in waves throughout 2024. The Answer is a playable epilogue taking place after the events ofPersona 3’s story, where Aigis meets a new Anti-Shadow Weapon named Metis. With The Answer DLC’s imminent September release, Atlus released a new trailer focused on Metis, showing off her abilities and confirming the character’s voice actress for the first time.
The trailer briefly goes over Metis' role inPersona 3 Reload, introducing herself as Aigis' “sister”, due to them being the same type of Anti-Shadow Weapons. The trailer also confirms that Lizzie Freeman will be the voice of Metis forReload’s English dub, replacing her original actor fromFES, Stephanie Sheh. For the Japanese audio, Metis is played by Chiwa Saito, her original voice actor fromFES. This is the first time in over 17 years that Saito is reprising the role of Metis, asMetis is a largely forgotten character inPersona 3.
Who Plays Metis in Persona 3 Reload?
Metis' original actor, Stephanie Sheh, is a well-known voice actor who previously played characters like Orihime Inoue fromBleach, Kyrie fromDevil May Cry, and Hinata Hyuga fromNaruto. Metis' new actor, Lizzie Freeman, is also a well-known talent, being the English dub voice for Trish Una fromJoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, Teucer and Yanfei fromGenshin Impact, and Pomni fromThe Amazing Digital Circus, just to name a few roles. Many fans were ecstatic to hear Freeman’s take onMetis' character inPersona 3 Reload.
The trailer also briefly goes over some of thenew social interactions with Metis in The Answer DLC, such as drinking coffee with Aigis and Ken, along with her combat abilities. In the originalPersona 3 FES, Metis essentially replaces Aigis' role, due to the latter being able to use multiple Personas and losing access to her old abilities. Metis is a well-balanced Persona user who has no weaknesses, focuses on physical attacks, and has some specialization in ice and wind skills. A lot of her abilities fromFEShave been retained forReload, with Metis inheriting Aigis' Orgia Mode Theurgy. The Answer DLC will be released on July 22, 2025.
