Rumors are buzzing around the gaming community as whispers of a Persona 4 remake are reportedly set to be revealed at the next Xbox Games Showcase. The buzz around Microsoft’s prominent gaming event, which was just slated for June 8, is growing louder with this potential announcement. What’s even more exciting for Xbox fans is that the Persona 4 remake is expected to hit Xbox Game Pass the very same day it launches.
According to a well-known leaker, this highly anticipated announcement could happen as early as June 2025. This would be quite the twist for fans of developer Atlus, who’ve been eagerly awaiting news on a different Persona title altogether. Chatter about this remake has been making the rounds on the internet, with initial rumors dating back to early 2024. The speculation kicked into high gear when a new domain, p4re.jp, appeared in Japan this past March. Historical patterns suggest that Atlus might be up to something, as the last similar domain, p3re.jp, preceded the announcement of Persona 3 Reload by just three months in 2023.
This cycle could very well be repeating itself if the claims from Extas1s, a respected Microsoft leaker from Spain, hold any truth. Extas1s believes that Xbox gamers could get the official news during the upcoming showcase this spring. Given the history of Atlus’s announcements, which are often followed by quick releases, we could see Persona 4’s revamped version enter the market by the end of 2025 or early 2026.
For fans, this potential remake comes with another exciting possibility. Extas1s mentioned that, like its recent predecessors Persona 5 Tactica and Persona 3 Reload, the Persona 4 remake might be available on Xbox Game Pass right from day one. While understandably appealing to Xbox users, the remake could also grace platforms like the PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, considering Atlus’s recent trend of offering games across multiple platforms.
However, not all Persona enthusiasts might be on the edge of their seats for this particular remake. Many are still holding their breaths for any tidbits about Persona 6, a title that’s been hungry on many wishlists. Atlus assured fans back in July 2021 that Persona 6 was under development, but no new updates have surfaced since.
As the gaming world anticipates June 8, speculation thrives, and fans can only hope for the best. Whether it’s Persona 4 or another exciting release, staying tuned could lead to brilliant new adventures in the Persona universe.
