  • Latest ‘Persona 6’ Rumor Hints at a Potential Delay

    Latest ‘Persona 6’ Rumor Hints at a Potential Delay

    The hunt for any news regarding Persona 6 continues. After a rather disappointing Persona 25th Anniversary, Atlus has been coy about the future of the franchise. To be fari, we did get re-releases of their three most popular entries on all consoles, but it’s been strange not to end such a milestone with the next major installment even if it is years away. Ever since our Persona 6 news has mostly relied on online rumors.

    If there is one thing we know about the Internet, it is the fact that the rumor mill never truly rests. User “Im A Hero Too” has returned once again to ResetEra to unveil more on what may or may not be happening behind the scenes as we’re still missing out on any hints regarding the franchise’s future.

    In it, they reveal that Persona 6 has “absolute zero chance” to release in 2023, but does hint that they have a rough timeframe even if the project may have been delayed internally. The reasoning according to him is that they are focusing either to release the rumored Persona 3 Remake (also first unveiled by this user) or another game. Though he hints there’s a chance we’ll see a teaser at Sony’s next showcase, which might not be until this summer.

    Going by this timeline, we may have at least one potential Persona game releasing this year, but that might be a bit strange they’ll fast-track the remake of 3 given they just released a remaster of the PSP version. So, perhaps that won’t release until next year either, and who knows when Persona 6 may hit modern consoles. Though, we have to still take these statements with a grain of salt as neither project has officially been announced as of now. For now, it just looks like the wait for an official update may take quite a bit longer.

  • RUMOR: Atlus May Reveal ‘Persona 5’ and ‘Persona 3 Remake’ This Summer

    RUMOR: Atlus May Reveal ‘Persona 5’ and ‘Persona 3 Remake’ This Summer

    The rumor mill surrounding the Persona franchise has been quite curious. The 25th anniversary fell flat for many fans due to the build-up potentially hinting at the confirmation of Persona 6 but no real news coming out of the event. Yes, we did get the remasters of Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and even Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, but it left many wondering what exactly the future looks like for the franchise.

    Then we got a surprise development with a new rumor hitting the web that we’re not only potentially getting a new mainline entry, but even a remake of Persona 3 in some form of development. It seems like an exciting time to be a fan of the franchise yet Atlus remains silent on any of its current projects. There have been hints that some of their initial plans for the 25th anniversary couldn’t come quite together as planned, but a new rumor is making the rounds that they’ll make up for it in 2023.

    Resetera isn’t the safest place for rumors, but the source is someone that has called the reveals from the anniversary and was the source behind the remake rumor. While no true details have been shared, they highlight that the Remake and Persona 6 are further down the production line with a potential summer reveal planned.

    They also highlight that they were originally set to be revealed at an earlier date but things shifted for one reason or another. Still, Atlus has not been shy to hint at “several” unannounced titles heading our way in 2023 which also adds at least some believability that something for the future Persona entries might be revealed sooner rather than later. There’s still hope that the green bucket in one of the anniversary images was a definite hint at the sixth entry.

  • RUMOR: ‘Persona 3’ May Receive a Modern Remake

    RUMOR: ‘Persona 3’ May Receive a Modern Remake

    2023 is looking like a crazy year for Persona fans. Just recently, Persona 5 Royal finally made its way to Nintendo Switch with remasters of Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden already in some form of development. Yet, it seems that there’s one more project that may revive a Persona classic in a big way. Following a recent tease by Atlus on more unannounced titles heading our way in 2023, we’re kicking off the year with a rumor hinting at Persona 3 getting a complete remake for modern consoles.

    Keep in mind that this remains a rumor for now, but this would make for quite an interesting development. It also comes from the same source that correctly announced the remasters and even the return of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. We all assumed that Persona 6 is just around the corner for an announcement, but it would be quite something if they re-focused their efforts on modernizing the third entry in the franchise, one that would redefine its success and how future entries would be developed.

    The possibility of a remake for 3 also opens up the possibility for plans for the fourth receiving the same treatment. Of course, we don’t know just how far they’ll go with these new adaptations and if the rumor is true. After the growing success of the fifth entry worldwide, it’s not too surprising they want to bank on its success, but it does leave us wondering just what the future might look like for the series if they remained focused on previous entries rather than pushing forward with its next official title, especially since Persona 5 released back in 2016.

  • ‘Persona 3’ and ‘Persona 4’ Hitting Modern Platforms in January

    ‘Persona 3’ and ‘Persona 4’ Hitting Modern Platforms in January

    Persona‘s anniversary event which took place across an entire year has sadly ended. It kicked off with the return of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax and went on to the confirmed re-release of the third and fourth entries on modern consoles. Persona 5 Royal also was going to return with a new Nintendo release. While it seems the wait for a Persona 6 announcement is going to take a bit longer, the anniversary concert did end with the reveal that the upcoming re-releases of Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden have been confirmed for January 19th, 2023.

    It’s pretty surprising that they will re-release both entries on the same date, as it seemed like the best plan to map it out throughout the year as they build up each new entry. Yet, fans have long wanted to return to these games, especially the versions that were only available on PlayStation Portable, a console that not many owned back in the day. January is going to be busy for role-playing game fans, as One Piece Odyssey is also going to release on January 12th.

    Persona 6‘s absence is definitely a curious surprise, as it seemed like the perfect time to build up to a tease of some kind. It didn’t even need to be a look at the game but rather a confirmation of what color they are going to make its main theme. The last ones followed the primary colors of blue, yellow, and red, which makes it even more curious what direction they might be heading towards. Guess they might be keeping it for a bigger event.

  • ‘Persona’ Return Also Set for Steam and PlayStation

    ‘Persona’ Return Also Set for Steam and PlayStation

    Just yesterday, we got the big announcement that not only will Persona 5 Royal finally make its way to Xbox, but it’ll be joined by Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden. The two games have been popular requests for ports on many platforms but it turns out that the showcase was just a confirmation that the ports are happening and are available on Xbox Game Pass. Yet, the official statement has seemingly hinted at the games also heading to Steam and PlayStation.

    The press release includes the statement “These beloved games will also be heading to Steam and PlayStation 5” which is an interesting surprise but good to hear for those from other consoles hoping to get their hands on it. Yet, the biggest surprise is that even the oldest entries aren’t joining Nintendo Switch. Persona 4 Golden is already available on Steam and likely set the path of these classics getting added on consoles.

    Ever since Joker became a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it seemed a definite that they’d find their way to the console. Even Banjo-Kazooie somehow managed to get added. Yet, the recent announcement does not include the Nintendo console that only provides the Strikers sequel that continues the story of the first Persona 5 entry even though the game is not available either. We’ll have to see if they may announce something in the near future.

    SGF: ‘Persona 3 Portable’, ‘Persona 4 Golden’ and ‘Persona 5 Royal’ Heading to Xbox Game Pass

    It looks like the Persona series is heading to Xbox Game Pass, as they have just announced during the Xbox Bethesda showcase of Summer Game Fest. While it won’t include the first two entries, Xbox players will get their hands on Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal heading to Xbox Game Pass.

  • RUMOR: ‘Persona 3 Portable’ and ‘Persona 4 Golden’ Remasters In Development

    RUMOR: ‘Persona 3 Portable’ and ‘Persona 4 Golden’ Remasters In Development

    Persona is a series I hold near and dear to my heart, but I sadly never got a chance to play all the major entries. My introduction to the series was with Persona 4 its unique take on what it means to be a JRPG. The Golden edition, similar to Persona 5 Royal, added many new elements to make it stand out even from the original that already offered a lengthy experience. Sadly, it and Persona 3’s remake were made only available on PlayStation Portable and never found their way to consoles. Luckily, if a new rumor is to be believed, they might be rectifying that fact.

    Zippo, who is a well-known leaker for Nintendo products, was one of the few to announce early on that Persona 4 Arena Ultimax was getting a remaster back in July. Not many believed it until the announcement subtlety appeared during the Video Game Awards. Now, he has shared that there are more remasters in the works including console versions of Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden.

    There have been theories about these two games getting remasters since Joker joined Super Smash Bros. It was the first hint that Atlus was expanding, which was then highlighted when Persona 5 Strikers was released on Nintendo Switch alongside the other consoles. It was a strange decision due to the original only being available on PlayStation, but it was a motivating direction. So, here’s hoping these remasters turn out to be true and get announced in the near future.
