The official Japanese website for the Persona franchise, titled Persona Channel, has just been relaunched by Atlus. The site houses information on everything Persona, from the games to anime adaptations, and licensed merchandise to live events.
Its relaunch could mean absolutely nothing -- we have to stress that -- but that hasn't stopped Persona fans from speculating online. After all, the renewal of a website often means that something is happening behind the scenes.
As for what that something might be, it's hard to say. For months there have been rumours of an enhanced re-release of Persona 5, but there's been nothing concrete on that yet. Some have suggested that it might be to do with a new Persona fighting game since EVO 2018 -- the world's largest fighting game event -- takes place this weekend, but with BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle still relatively new, we're not sold on that particular idea.
Anyway, if it does turn out to be something relevant to PlayStation, you can be sure that we'll cover it.

Switch port confirmed
@LaNooch1978 Truly horrendous game.
If this is Persona 5 Golden then
@mrobinson91 Nah. Thats getting the less popular main series entry in SMT5...eventually.
@Spectra You wouldn't want a PS4 port/remaster of Persona 4 Golden?
@johncalmc Same...though it'd have to contain alot of new story content to be worth re-buying.
I just finished beating Persona 5, great game. Pretty long though.
Maybe it's Persona Q2 for the 3DS and even if it is who knows if it's getting localize
@Spectra It's not like you have to re-buy Persona 4, you can always ignore it.
Hopefully for you it's Persona 5 related or a new game.
An enhanced version eh? It'll take a lot of enhancing.
@kyleforrester87 Sae Niijima romance option
@get2sammyb What didnt you like about it 😂
@ShogunRok I was thinking a throttle Morgana option myself!
@kyleforrester87 A "tell Morgana to **** off" option anytime he talks
@get2sammyb Hey now, stop flame-baiting! I think we all know that Persona 5 is one of the greatest video games ever made. 😆
I hope atlus remaster persona 4 golden for ps4
Persona 3 remaster anyone? That would make the more sense than Persona 4. They’re coming out with the P3 dancing game, and it would help if people could play P3 on something more modern than a PSP.
P4G > P5.
@ApostateMage nope.
And It's absolutely Nothing Lmao.
@Spectra you cannot have played many games if that is the worst you've ever played. Easily one of the top JRPG's (though P5 definitely topped it for me, it drives me crazy when I can't encourage people to play it, the only other game I've spent as much time with this gen is Yakuza 0).
Persona 3 Remake please!
I wouldn't say no to a Persona 5 Crimson on vita though.
Hmm, either P5 Arena, which will be arcade only for the foreseeable future if true, more PQ2 news which I'll be happy about, or (probably not) an enhanced version of P5. Or it could be P3 remastered, which would be cool, but not likely.
@GKO900 it probably is Persona Q 2. We already know it's a thing so it stands to reason it's for a previously announced game.
@Spectra you could, but since I've been playing JRPG's for about 25 years, you'd be wrong. . I could name tons of JRPG's that are worse than P4, and they still wouldn't be close to the worst game I've ever played. Why is it you find it so bad? You seem to like P5, which basically just build upon 4 (the biggest change being the non-random dungeons this time, which I do prefer).
@Spectra I'm not quite sure whether you are trolling me but ... criticising the music when it is literally good enough to spin off a whole rhythm game. I'm not sure we are talking about the same game. The characters are all fantastic, each with their own flaws and weaknesses (including teddy being annoying), the more intimate country town setting is a refreshing change from most other JRPGs, same as the plot, which is on a more personal scale, and a fun little murder mystery in itself that is still decent and really gives the characters room to grow.
And yeah, the gameplay is pretty traditional, but it's the interconnecting systems that make it fun to develop relationships, personas, and stats.
Everything you criticise the game for is what it is pretty much universally loved for (my vita pretty much became a Persona 4 machine). Everything you say about 4 can ewualky be applied to 5, and 5 has it's own issues as well (nothing is above criticism).
I do agree that the rpgs you mentioned are pretty subpar (anything with compile hearts name attached I pretty much avoid), but I just find your criticism of P4 so contrarian that I'm not sure whether you are pulling my leg.
What I would love to see from the Persona Team is a P3 remake in P5 engine, with content from fes and P3P rolled into one. I can but dream.
I agree that they are subjective, but to call it the worst game you've played is a mild exagerration ... I'm glad you enjoyed P5, but the similarities to P4 are so numerous that I find it hard to believe that you think one is one of the worst games you've played, and the other to be fine.
I do get slightly confused by the whole objective/subjective thing though. Some things are objectively good or bad, it's your appreciation of them that is subjective.
For example, objectively, I can see that GTA games are very good. They are well designed, they have there's lots of freedom to explore, the graphics are great, and the soundtrack has a lot of variety. I don't disagree with the high review scores they receive, however, I just don't enjoy playing them, and subjectively don't appreciate what they have to offer. I wouldn't say they are the worst games I've played though, as casting a critical eye with an objective perspective, I can see why they are so highly praised.
Whereas Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness, I played through until the end, I didn't mind it, but find it the worst of the tomb raider series by far, and looking at it with and objective eye would rate it very low, as objectively it is a bad game with objectively bad control scheme, camera angles, and systems.
I would prefer game criticism to be written on this manner, in which the reviewer may offer their subjective opinion, but actually offer constructive criticism and give an objective perspective as well, which is why I'm all for getting rid of review scores (I find Eurogamers Essential, Recommended, no score, or Avoid a decent compromise).
I understand P4G had an extra dungeon, an unlikable new character and an ending the ruined the characters.
But you can interact with the antagonst and go out after dark.
P3P remake with P5 engine.
If it is P5 they will need to change A LOT to make me replay through it. Ok they just need to make Yosuke a love interest XD female protagonist?
@Spectra and @get2sammyb Hong Kong 97,Action 52, and many games AVGN reviewed are worse than P4 and P5!
