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.
