Atlus has opened up an English website for the 25th anniversary of the Persona series, and much like its Japanese counterpart, there's promise of "a year-long campaign from September 2021 to Fall 2022". Said campaign will feature "exciting announcements", including "25th anniversary merchandise, events, collaborations, and even game information".
Again, we already knew this was happening when the Japanese site opened back in July, but the fact that Atlus is eager to reiterate everything — on a new English site, no less — suggests that some of these upcoming announcements will target a global audience.
Hopefully we hear more about what Atlus has in store soon. While we highly doubt that every announcement will involve a new game (the mention of "merchandise, events, collaborations" says a lot), it's fair to assume that there'll be one or two reveals to get excited about.
Spread across a whole year, though? We could be waiting a while yet...

@Royalblues Arc literally just put out Guilty Gear Strive though. I’m just not sure it’s feasible when that game’s so early on in its cycle.
Just announce the games so we know what platforms they will be on. Don't even have to show gameplay. Just show the platforms they will be on. I have plenty of friends that are waiting to hear if their default console manufacturer will still get the games they always have historically. I buy all platforms but not everyone has that option. Better yet can this exclusive war over former big third party devs come to an end please, at least for a year or two.
As long as one of these seven announcements is Persona 5 Arena, a Persona 3 remake, Persona 6, or some other cool spin-off idea then I will be a happy camper.
Persona 4 Golden port to PS4/5 is all I want to hear. Exclusively.
Really hope a video game company might have , you know, video game announcements.
Wants:
P4G on Consoles please
P3 remake
P6 trailer and release date
Clarity on the rumored p5 game.. put them in college!
Digital soundtracks on bandcamp
Please release some of the earlier PSP games that didn’t have trophy support.
@thefourfoldroot THIS
@GADG3Tx87 exclusively after it was available on pc for like 20 dollars? It even can be played on any pc/laptop. And the audience can be all pc owners which frankly, most people have.
I think there is 0 reason for Sega/Atlus to keep it exclusive. Atlus even said that wanted to be more open to other platforms.
You seem to be gatekeeping a not-longer exclusive here… why do you want it exclusively for ps4/5?
@BrintaPap
I know it's on PC, I'm talking about console exclusivity. End of the day exclusivity differentiates one platform from another, and since Xbox fans were celebrating when, and still rubbing it in PlayStation gamers' faces, that Microsoft took traditional third party franchises away from other console players then they should be fine with it. Else that just makes them hypocrites. Because according to a lot of them, exclusives matter again now.
So confirmed we're getting something at TGS, they will most likely announce persona 4 golden for the ps4 /ps5 with enhanced graphics and then show a teaser clip for persona 6

@nessisonett
I'm not going to apologise for that, especially when they do it. Besides, I believe in exclusives, third or first party, doesn't matter to me. As I said it differenciates one platform from another, otherwise there would be no point to consoles at all.
Again, I won't apologise for my opinion on that stance.
And for your information, check my profile. I have all platforms but I'm allowed a preference.
Imagine if Persona came to Xbox.
@GADG3Tx87 I agree to some extent only because playstation is the home for persona main games, I remember playing persona 3 fes on playstation 2 and then 4. But I wouldn't be upset or lose any sleep over it if it was to come to xbox, more revenue for atlus means faster turn around for new games
@UltimateOtaku91
It's not so much that but the hypocrisy that's gets to me. The Xbox fans on PX seem to think that they're allowed exclusives but PlayStation isn't. Example, Microsoft claiming a traditional and major third party publisher and keeping their games away from a platform they always existed on is fine and justifiable to them. But Sony getting a third party or timed exclusive is bad for the industry and totally evil.
I don't comment over there because the toxicity is even worse but I saw your comments which your opinions are similar to my own and they ripped you apart for it. Quite frankly it was disgusting.
As I said, they seem to think it's ok to demand everything go to GamePass because that's good for the industry, but keeping Zenimax/ Bethesda games off of PlayStation is totally fine for the industry. So yeah, if that means I am spiteful, then I guess I am. I know that makes me no better, but as I said, the hypocrisy annoys me the most.
@GADG3Tx87 haha you witnessed that over on PX then, I've noticed there seems to be more fanboyism over there and attack anyone who mentions playstation or defends playstation even though I was making valid points, all those playstation timed exclusives will eventually come to xbox so they have nothing to moan about, but those Bethesda games will never come to playstation full stop and are making millions of gamers who can only afford one console miss out. Because xbox has gamepass and Bethesda they believe they are entitled to everything.
And tbh gamepass lately has been dissapointing, the last few months have just been bloated with indie games, apart from xbox exclusives and indie games the big third party games are avoid gamepass for some reason which makes me wonder if its really that sustainable for the bigger devs.
@UltimateOtaku91
Exactly. I agree with everything you've said there which is why I feel the way I do even though some may see it as spiteful. I have an Xbox, I have a Nintendo Switch, I have a Steam Account and I have a PS5. I have a preference for PlayStation, I don't think much of GamePass and I fear that it will breed mediocrity in the end. Sure Indie Devs are thriving now but AAA games are doubtful to make back their huge investments between either a small percentage of service revenue vs a full purchase. This is why, among other reasons that I prefer to buy full boxed copies at full price yet I get called a corporate shill for it. The way I see it is I have more power with a boxed copy as opposed to a corporation or service taking that game away from me in the future whenever they choose.
As for the whole exclusive situation I can see you so what share my feelings on the hypocrisy of it all. Even those who don't, they're untitled to their opinion as I am in mine.
For example, when KOTOR comes out I doubt Xbox will get it and if they don't there will be hell to pay from them, yet the Bethesda situation is totally ok.
The reason I say that is, yes, it's timed, with PC but the wording is, "timed Console-exclusive" I believe that means, timed with PC and exclusive to PS5 on console. When the teaser was up it said "remade for PS5" why would they name just one if it was also coming to Xbox? It has also become known and reported by IGN that Sony have full publishing rights, have part funded the game and several of their own first party Devs are helping to make it. Why go to all that trouble if it's coming to Xbox too?
And remember when Phil says "Console-Exclusive" it usually mean "Xbox and PC only" not PlayStation. Looking at the wording it certainly seems to suggest that for KOTOR.
But hey, remember what they said. "You don't spend all that money to share with your competitor's".
I bet there will be double standards when the time comes.
Looks promising.
I still want Persona 1-3 remakes and Persona 4 Golden ported to PS4/PS5.
Other than that, I guess PS5 upgrades for both Persona 5 Royal and Persona 5 Strikers.
Any announcement that isn't an announcement of Persona 3 or 4 being ported or remade or somehow brought to PS5 in any way is just going to annoy me. Unless it's Persona 6 then we'll let it slide. But if they come at me with all "hey everyone guess what the gang is back it's the phantom thieves in PERSONA 5 COOKING MAYHEM" and it's a baking game with the talking cat making cakes... actually I want that.
@johncalmc Nah, I want a Persona 5 arena.
Who says I won't be happy with just merchandise announcements 😆 Truly though, I'd love modern console ports of P3 and P4, for the sake of convenience
