Atlus has been enjoying a remarkable resurgence in recent years, particularly with its acclaimed Persona series. The gaming community has been treated to a stunning remake of Persona 3, an innovative XCOM-style spin-off of Persona 5, and now the excitement builds with the announcement of a remake for Persona 4, alongside the highly anticipated Persona 6. Both titles are set to make their debut on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Game Pass, marking a jubilant period for Persona enthusiasts.
However, this wave of enthusiasm does not extend to fans of the earlier Persona titles, such as Revelation: Persona, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment. These classic games have remained largely untouched, leaving a gap in the hearts of long-time followers of the franchise.
🗨️ Over to you
During a recent interview with GamerBraver, Wada Kazuhisa, a producer at Atlus, was questioned about the possibility of remaking these earlier titles, similar to the remakes of Persona 3 and 4. The response hinted at a potential revival, which could bring these foundational games back into the limelight.
For many, the idea of revisiting the original Persona games is appealing, especially considering their rarity and the challenges of accessing them today. The prospect of exploring a Persona narrative featuring older characters, as seen in Persona 2, offers a refreshing twist that could attract both new players and nostalgic fans alike.
The landscape for these remakes appears promising, particularly for Xbox and PC users. With Sony’s decision to shut down the PSP and PlayStation 3’s PSN stores, acquiring these classic titles has become increasingly difficult. If Atlus can successfully revive cult classics like Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzonoha for modern systems, it raises the question: why not breathe new life into the games that laid the groundwork for the beloved franchise we cherish today?
How do you feel about the idea of Atlus remaking Revelation: Persona, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment? Are there any other classic Atlus JRPGs you want to see come back with a re-release, remaster, or remake?

Atlus is interested in remaking the PlayStation One-era Persona games, something that, after waiting for many years, I hope finally happens on Xbox and PC
