Persona 4 Revival, the remake of the 2008 PlayStation 2 game from Atlus, received a new trailer during the Xbox Games Showcase. In addition to this, we finally got a date for when we will be able to tune into the midnight channel yet again with the Investigation team. Persona 4 Revival will release on February 18, 2027, and will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
Persona 4 Revival put the player in the shoes of Yu Narukami, who has just arrived in the town of Inaba to finish out the rest of his school year under the care of his uncle, police officer Ryotaro Dojima. Soon after, Yu and his newfound friends become embroiled in a series of murders taking place in the town with a connection to an urban legend called the midnight channel. Players participate in turn-based combat, with the franchise’s signature persona to switch between skill sets, as they attempt to get to the bottom of this mystery and stop the murders from occuring.
Fans of the series should be pretty familiar with what was shown during the trailer, though a few additions, such as the fishing minigame. Every aspect of the game was rebuilt using Unreal Engine 5, bringing the experience more in line with the remake of the third entry, Persona 3 Reload, and the most recent game, Persona 5 Royal. What is interesting, however, is that the character of Marie appears in the trailer. This character was added with the Vita rerelease of the game, Persona 4 Golden, implying that this remake will update that version. This is in contrast to 3, which remade the original version of the game.
Later on during the showcase, we also, after a very long wait, got a teaser trailer for the long-awaited next entry, Persona 6. This didn’t offer much to go by, showcasing a graveyard but not much else. This is consistent with how Atlus announced mainline entries. What we did get is confirmation that the color for the game will be green, and a logo that feels inspired by urban street art. We did not get any indication of when we can expect more information.
