The worst-kept secret in gaming is no longer a secret. At the Xbox Games Showcase, Atlus announced that a full remake of Persona 4 is in development. It’s called Persona 4 Revival, and while there weren’t many details revealed — like when it’ll actually launch — we did get a brief teaser trailer. It’s coming to Xbox, PS5, and PC, and will be available for Game Pass subscribers.
While it was just announced, the remake has seemed like a foregone conclusion for some time — and not just because several voice actors leaked its existence. Persona 3 received a similar remake last year with Persona 3 Reload, which was very well received, and in 2023 both Persona 3 and Persona 4 were re-released on modern platforms, introducing them to new audiences.
Persona 4 — which added a murder mystery element to the long-running RPG series — was originally released on the PlayStation 2 in 2008, though it received a major boost with the enhanced PS Vita version Persona 4 Golden three years later.
As for the next mainline entry in the franchise, Atlus wrote in a statement that “we are actively preparing for the future development of the Persona series as a studio.” So maybe we’ll finally hear about Persona 6 sometime soon.
