The development of Persona 3 has been reconfirmed by a leaker who previously disclosed Atlus is working on a remake. Since the release of Persona 5 Royal in 2019, what’s next for the Persona brand has been a mystery, as Atlus has delayed the RPG, releasing it to PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox platforms in 2022. With that out of the way, Atlus seems ready to move on to the next big Persona release. However, it is possible that it is not Persona 6, but rather another chance for Persona 3.
Persona 3’s release marked the beginning of what many consider to be the Persona franchise’s current momentum. While the initial Persona 3 release on the PlayStation 2 did badly compared to the first and second Persona games, its remakes, Persona 3 FES and Persona 3 Portable, considerably improved the release. Those releases contributed to a broader western audience, which has resulted in franchise expansion for Persona 4, Persona 5, and several more spin-off releases.
