With Persona 3 Reload out the door and Persona 4 Revival next in line, series producer Kazuhisa Wada has said remakes of the first two games will "probably" happen as well.

The short version

  • Developer Atlus seems to be on a mission to revisit every high-schooling, demon-mashing, double-life-simulating game it's ever made.
  • In 2024, the studio pulled the gun on Persona 3 Reload before starting work on Persona 4 Revival, coming next February.
  • But Atlus may reach even further back for some new (old) source material.

What happened

In an interview with RPS , Wada said the team originally came up with the idea to remake Persona 3 and Persona 4 around the same time. The latter "had to be put" on the backburner for a while, but the intent for both was the same.

Why it matters

"I think a remaster or remake is some kind of cultural preservation," he said, per a translator.
