Persona 6 stays MIA, however followers suppose they’ve discovered one other clue that factors to a Persona 4 remake being within the works.
The overwhelming success of Persona 3 Reload, a full remake of the unique 2006 sport, principally ensures Sega and Atlus will probably be enthusiastic about doing extra.
Although some followers would like Atlus prioritise an unique entry, specifically the nonetheless absent Persona 6, there’s mounting suspicion that the following sport will probably be a remake of 2008’s Persona 4.
It’s already a popular theory, however it now seems Atlus has filed a trademark for it, which has some pondering an announcement may occur in just some months.
According to Faz on X, Atlus registered a domain identify for p4re.jp this week. Domain names, like emblems and patents, aren’t all the time used, and are generally merely about stopping another person from claiming them, however it’s fairly apparent p4re refers to a Persona 4 remake.
This mirrors the occasions main as much as Persona 3 Reload’s reveal. In 2023, Atlus registered a domain identify of p3re.jp, which was adopted by Persona 3 Reload’s announcement on the June Xbox Games Showcase three months later.
Assuming Atlus follows the identical sample, we may see an announcement this June, perhaps even at this 12 months’s Xbox showcase, if Microsoft’s advertising and marketing take care of Sega and Atlus continues to be going. As a reminder, Microsoft bought to be the one to unveil Metaphor: ReFantazio as effectively.
In phrases of different evidence, Shihoko Hirata, a musician and singer greatest identified for her contributions to Persona 4, admitted she’s not too long ago recorded music for a new game – however didn’t say what it was.
Even with out all this, a Persona 4 remake does really feel like an eventuality. Aside from Persona 3 Reload turning into the quickest promoting sport in Atlus’ historical past (earlier than Metaphor: ReFantazio exceeded it), Persona 4 was Atlus’ golden goose till Persona 5 got here alongside.
It was so common it noticed an enhanced model with new content material for the PlayStation Vita, a number of spin-offs, and two separate anime variations.
If a Persona 4 remake is Atlus’ subsequent undertaking, then that means Persona 6 is additional off than thought. Previous rumours pointed to it launching in 2024, which clearly didn’t occur.
It was then advised that it’ll launch in 2025 after an announcement in 2024 that 12 months, however Atlus hasn’t a lot as teased the undertaking.
By September, it’s going to have been 9 years since Persona 5’s Japanese launch (the West didn’t get until March 2017) and, in that point, Atlus has saved busy with Persona 5 spin-offs, an enhanced re-release in Persona 5 Royal, and new entries/remasters for its different franchises like Shin Megami Tensei and Etrian Odyssey.
