SEGA ATLUS has announced Persona Super Live 2027, a three-day concert series scheduled for March 19-21, 2027, at the Yokohama Buntai arena. The event was revealed at the conclusion of the 'Persona Live Tour 2026 -Resonance-' in Tokyo. This marks the first Super Live since 2022, coinciding with the Persona 30th Anniversary celebrations. No details regarding the musical lineup or specific guest appearances have been released yet.
Famitsu’s Persona 30th Anniversary fan poll compiles rankings across the main titles (Revelations, 2, 3, 4, 5) and spin‑offs, detailing which versions players played, favorite party members, most memorable Personas and arcs, dialogue choices, and more. Highlights include Kei Nanjo as Revelations’ top party member, Thanatos as Persona 3’s most impressive Persona, Yosuke Hanamura (with the Protagonist high on Persona 4’s list), and Arsene as Persona 5’s standout Persona. The survey also finds many players first played Persona 5 Royal or Persona 5, with P4 Golden a close second, and provides demographic glimpses (about 53% male, many in their 20s–30s) and notes on relationship confidants.
Kotone Shiomi from Persona 3 Portable is coming to Persona5: The Phantom X on September 24, 2026 as part of a crossover update; she arrives with a new 3D model, unique moves, and abilities adapted from the mobile title, along with new Persona 3 Portable song arrangements. Makoto Yuki, Yukari Takeba, and Akihiko Sanada return on September 15 and their event stories will be playable again in P5X.
Kotaku reports that Exophase has posted what look like complete Persona 6 achievements (alongside a Persona 4 Revival list), potentially revealing story beats for the still-unshown game. The find suggests Persona 6 could be closer to release than some expect, with speculation of a fall 2027 window, but Atlus has not confirmed any details and readers are warned that viewing the achievements may spoil plot points. Kotaku has reached out to Atlus for comment.
Aniplex is making all four Persona 3 anime films free to watch on YouTube for a limited time, following earlier free streams of Persona 4 and Persona 4 Golden. Korean streams are on Sega Korea’s YouTube channel and Chinese streams are on bilibili, with Persona 5’s anime eyed for a future free window. The four Persona 3 films—Spring of Birth, Midsummer Knight’s Dream, Falling Down, and Winter of Rebirth—originally released in Japan between 2013 and 2016.
Atlus released a trailer for Persona 4 Revival that previews five new features—Full voice acting for Social Links, Send Flying, new and remixed music, Baton Pass, and Prime Time—narrated by Yosuke Hanamura’s English voice actor Paul Castro Jr., signaling updated presentation while keeping core Persona 4 mechanics intact.
Kotaku reports Persona producer Wada Kazuhisa says a remake of Persona 1 and 2 is something the studio “definitely should do,” though there are no concrete plans yet. The remark comes as Atlus revisits older titles with Persona 4 Revival and continues development on Persona 6, and follows a pattern of modernizing classics to fit today’s generation. A 1–2 remake would align with fan interest in the series’ origins and with Atlus’s ongoing remake/visual upgrade approach, even as the exact project remains unconfirmed.
Atlus released a Yosuke Hanamura character trailer for Persona 4 Revival, unveiling his English voice actor Paul Castro Jr. and Japanese voice actor Showtaro Morikubo; his Persona is Jiraiya, and the game is set to launch on February 18, 2027 for Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and Steam.
At Anime Expo, Persona 4 Revival producer Kazuhisa Wada confirms the remake will keep the core story but lightly refine character expressions, notably softening Yosuke’s insensitivity to outsiders. Kanji and Naoto aren’t expected to change at base, while new content is teased, including the possibility of additional relationship angles if explored.
Teaser trailers for Persona 4 Revival hint at a more expressive Yu Narukami, highlighted by a scene where the protagonist eagerly supports Rise Kujikawa with a heart-shaped paddle during a beauty pageant—an addition not present in the originals. The change echoes how Yu’s personality has been developed in the Persona 4 anime and spin-offs, fueling excitement for the remake, which is headed to Xbox Game Pass in Spring 2027.
MAPPA will animate every in-game anime cutscene for Persona 4 Revival, a reimagining of the classic RPG announced by Atlus, with Abby Trott voicing Rise. The remake is set to launch February 18, 2027 on Xbox Series X|S, PC, Xbox Cloud, PlayStation 5, and Steam, and is pitched as a distinct reimagining rather than Persona 4 Golden, announced at Anime Expo 2026.
Variety reports Netflix is developing a live-action Persona series from Atlus, with Christopher Monfette as executive producer/showrunner/writer and a slate of producers including Shawn Levy’s 21 Laps; the project is expected to draw from the Persona universe across multiple games (including remakes and Persona 6 in development), but no specific game-to-series plan or release date has been announced.
SEGA and Atlus launched a major Nintendo eShop sale covering Switch 2 and Switch titles, discounting more than 30 games (including Sonic Origins Plus, Unicorn Overlord, Etrian Odyssey HD/Origins Collection, Persona 5 Royal, and Yakuza bundles); the sale runs through July 9, 2026 (Two Point titles end July 1).
The June 2026 Persona 4 Revival broadcast reveals three big changes: a visual upgrade with a larger, more dynamic Inaba and revamped UI and level-up screen; a reworked combat system adding Baton Pass-style chaining along with new Send Flying and Prime Time mechanics to ease MP management; and fully voiced dialogue with a new cast plus localization tweaks that align more with the Japanese text, potentially nudging humor changes that may disappoint longtime fans while offering a more engaging Social Link experience.
ATLUS released a 22-minute “Persona 4 Revival Broadcast” offering a deep dive into the game’s story, characters, and battle system. Persona 4 Revival is dated for February 18, 2027, arriving on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam/Microsoft Store) with Game Pass at launch.
