Atlus has recently confirmed they’re developing a remake for Persona 4, which they’ve named Persona 4 Revival. This update was unveiled during Xbox Games Showcase 2025 over the weekend with a teaser trailer. The teaser didn’t disclose many specifics, but it did show glimpses of modernized versions of Persona 4’s settings like its classrooms and Inaba village streets using advanced hardware and technology.
Back in 2008, Persona 4 first appeared on PlayStation 2. At that time, it and Persona 3 played a significant role in making the series popular globally. It was also the spark for Atlus to develop more spin-offs and adaptations from the Persona franchise. Moreover, it surpassed its predecessor by introducing gameplay enhancements and a greater number of dungeons.
The narrative of this game centers on a tranquil village named Inaba, which experiences grisly murders. Simultaneously, there are legends about the Midnight Channel, where watching a turned-off TV at midnight supposedly shows one’s soulmate. As things spiral out of control, it becomes the protagonist and his friends’ responsibility to delve into the realm of Shadows and Persona to unravel the enigma behind these killings.
Originally launched, the game “Persona 4” initially had an upgraded re-issue that was only available on PlayStation Vita. Later, it became accessible on PC and other modern systems in 2020. Additionally, “Persona 4” has been included in various spin-offs such as the dungeon crawler games “Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth” and “Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth”.
