Persona 4 Remake Reportedly Set for Xbox Games Showcase Reveal
Atlus is poised to unveil a highly anticipated remake of the beloved JRPG Persona 4 at today’s Xbox Games Showcase, according to multiple industry reports. The event, which kicks off at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM UK, is expected to feature the announcement as a key highlight, following in the footsteps of the Persona 3 Reload reveal at the same showcase two years ago.
While details remain scarce, sources suggest that the Persona 4 remake will launch on Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC, though the possibility of a Nintendo Switch 2 version remains uncertain. If Atlus follows the approach taken with Persona 3 Reload, players can expect a faithful recreation of the original experience, enhanced with overhauled visuals and refined gameplay mechanics.

The impending announcement has been somewhat of an open secret in gaming circles, fueled by recent social media posts from several voice actors who worked on the original Persona 4. These actors have stated that they have not been contacted to reprise their roles, sparking disappointment among some longtime fans. However, it’s worth noting that Atlus has previously replaced voice actors in remakes, so this may not come as a complete surprise.
Originally released for the PlayStation 2 in 2008, Persona 4 quickly garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase. The game later received an enhanced version, Persona 4 Golden, which launched on the PlayStation Vita in 2012 before making its way to PC in 2020. The rumored remake has the potential to introduce a new generation of players to this beloved JRPG classic, while also offering a fresh experience for longtime fans.
As the Xbox Games Showcase draws near, all eyes are on Atlus to deliver an exciting reveal that will satisfy both newcomers and veterans of the Persona series. With the success of Persona 3 Reload and the enduring popularity of Persona 4, this remake could prove to be a major hit for the studio and a must-play for JRPG enthusiasts.
