Persona 4 Revival[a] is an upcoming role-playing video game developed and published by Atlus. It is a remake of Persona 4 (2008), the fifth main installment of the Persona series, itself a part of the larger Megami Tensei franchise.
Following the Persona franchise's push into global popularity with the release of Persona 5 (2016), Atlus had expressed interest in fully remaking their older titles for modern platforms, including Persona 4. The project entered development amidst the success of their previous remake, Persona 3 Reload (2024). The game was officially announced in June 2025. Revival is a faithful reproduction of Persona 4's story, enhanced both graphically and mechanically to bring the title in parity with Persona 5 and Persona 3 Reload.
Persona 4 Revival is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox Series X/S.

Perspective
In July 2022, Atlus conducted a consumer-led survey in Japan gauging interest in potential remakes and re-releases of past games from the publisher, specifically in the Megami Tensei franchise. During a livestreamed broadcast of the poll results, Atlus revealed that Persona 4 (2008) was the fourth most-requested title to be remade among 74.8% of participants.[1] One of the top-voted games, Persona 3 (2006), received a high-definition remake for modern platforms titled Persona 3 Reload in 2024.[2] Reload became the fastest selling title in the Persona series upon crossing one million units sold in a week, as well as the publisher's fastest-selling title as a whole until Metaphor: ReFantazio later that year.[3][4] The success of Reload created internal interest in immediately pursuing a similar project for Persona 4, which P-Studio producer Kazuhisa Wada considered a game that held a "personal place" in his heart for turning Persona into a successful, well-regarded franchise upon its original release.[5] Wada also thought Revival to be a project that would be "fresh and surprising" for both newcomers and long-time fans of the original game.[6]
Persona 4 Revival remakes existing character models and assets from the ground up to be more proportionately presented, relative to the environmental design as with both Persona 5 (2016) and the preceding remake Persona 3 Reload (2024).[7] As with Reload, the main English voice cast for Revival is expected to be entirely recast with new actors in the primary roles.[8][9]

The web domain "p4re.jp" was registered by Atlus in March 2025, prompting online speculation of its connection to a potential Persona 4 remake, with the abbreviation matching the naming convention used for the official Japanese website for Persona 3 Reload.[10][11] The game's existence was alluded to by numerous actors associated with the franchise, including Yuri Lowenthal, Erin Fitzgerald and Amanda Winn-Lee, throughout late May and early June 2025; the actors announced that they were not asked to reprise their respective roles as Persona 4 characters Yosuke Hanamura, Chie Satonaka and Yukiko Amagi in the remake, which by that point was still unacknowledged by Atlus.[12][13] Persona 4 Revival was subsequently announced with a teaser trailer during Microsoft Gaming's Xbox Games Showcase event on June 9, 2025.[14][15] The announcement was accompanied by a message from P-Studio producer Kazuhisa Wada.[16] In an investor relations presentation, Sega Sammy Holdings listed Persona 4 Revival as slated to launch "in or after" its fiscal year 2027 period, which takes place between April 2026 and March 2027.[17][18]
Persona 4 Revival is scheduled to release for PlayStation 5, Windows and Xbox Series X/S. From launch, the game will be playable on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, and will also support Xbox Play Anywhere on Windows and Xbox Series X/S.[19][20]
