The future of the Persona series remains a top priority for Atlus, with P-Studio director Kazuhisa Wada confirming active preparations for upcoming projects. While fans eagerly await the next mainline installment, recent announcements have sparked mixed reactions within the community.
This past weekend, Atlus unveiled Persona 4 Revival, a highly anticipated PS5 remake of the beloved PS2 classic. Originally gaining widespread acclaim through its enhanced Persona 4 Golden release on PS Vita, the revival has faced scrutiny since its reveal.

Despite divided opinions, the announcement reaffirms Atlus’ dedication to expanding the Persona universe. Whether through remakes or new entries, the studio appears determined to honor the franchise’s legacy while exploring fresh directions. For now, patience remains key as development progresses behind the scenes.
