A leaker that previously revealed Atlus is working on a remake of Persona 3 reconfirms the game's development. What's next for the Persona franchise has been a mystery since the release of Persona 5 Royal in 2019, as Atlus has lingered on the RPG, bringing it to PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox consoles in 2022. With that behind it, Atlus seems primed to move onto the next major Persona release. Yet it might not be Persona 6 at all, but rather another opportunity for Persona 3.
One user brought up a longstanding rumor regarding a Persona 3 remake, questioning if it was still happening with Atlus now re-releasing Persona 3 Portable. This prompted a response from insider lolilolailo, who previously leaked the news of Persona coming to Xbox Game Pass in 2022. According to lolilolailo, the Persona 3 remake "is real" still.
A follow-up comment asking why Atlus would re-release Persona 3 Portable if a remake was in development also received an answer. lolilolailo explained, quite simply, "It's Atlus." More specifically, they say an updated Persona 3 Portable release will bring the "whole" Persona saga to new consoles. Atlus can capitalize on the original game, and then on the remake with its Persona 5-like graphics and quality-of-life improvements later.
To be clear, lolilolailo never says that the Persona 3 remake is one of Atlus' planned announcements for 2023. It's entirely possible the remake, if it does exist, will launch much later. That would give the Persona 3 Portable re-launch plenty of time to breathe. Without an official confirmation from Atlus, though, Persona fans will just have to wait and see what Atlus has planned next for the increasingly popular RPG franchise.
