Unless Atlus has plans to expand the Phantom Thieves’ story any further, the long wait for the next\u00a0Persona<\/em><\/strong> game officially begins next year. With\u00a0Persona 5 Royal<\/em> releasing this year to record sales and further perfecting an already fantastic adventure, the popularity of\u00a0the JRPG giant has never been bigger. Pair that with\u00a0Persona 4 Golden<\/em> finally releasing on PC, after being stranded on the PS Vita for years, SEGA and Atlus plan to dive even further into their back catalog of games. That’s likely the reason why\u00a0Shin Megami Tensei<\/em>: Nocturne<\/em> received a remaster prior to the release of Shin Megami Tensei 5\u00a0<\/em>as well.<\/p>\n

One thing\u00a0Atlus hasn’t attempted before is a ground-up remake of any of its classic JRPGs, akin to that of\u00a0Final Fantasy 7 Remake<\/em>. Atlus has expressed very mild interest in the idea before, with fan surveys asking if players would be willing to play a “sequel” or “remake” of\u00a0Persona 3<\/em> in the past. It’d certainly be an interesting proposition for P-Studio, especially in the wake of\u00a0Final Fantasy 7 Remake<\/em> being received very well. Considering the newfound popularity Persona<\/em><\/a>\u00a0gained this year, it almost seems like a\u00a0Persona 3<\/em> remake releasing before\u00a0Persona 6<\/em> would make more sense. Rebuilding the game that started it all could appease plenty of new and existing\u00a0Persona<\/em> fans.<\/p>\n

For one thing, it’s important to talk about the momentum the\u00a0Persona<\/em> series gained this year, thanks to a few huge efforts from the franchise. Earlier this year, the definitive version of the fifth game,\u00a0Persona 5 Royal<\/em>, released to record sales numbers and success<\/a>. The action game spin-off,\u00a0Persona 5 Scramble<\/em>, also seemed to surpass sales expectations in Asian consumer markets. Even though the original\u00a0Persona 5<\/em> was also a critically acclaimed release in 2017,\u00a0Royal<\/em> and\u00a0Persona 5 Scramble<\/em> saw even greater success in 2020 thanks to the general boost the video game industry received during the pandemic. Atlus then tested the waters even further this summer.<\/p>\n

For the anniversary of its release on PlayStation Vita,\u00a0Persona 4 Golden<\/em> was ported to PC this June, marking the first time the game was released to any other platform. For Atlus and Sega, it seems,\u00a0Persona 4 Golden<\/em> was an even more surprising success<\/a>.\u00a0Within the first month alone,\u00a0Persona 4 Golden<\/em>‘s sales on Steam had already reached 500,000 units sold. That’s huge for a legacy\u00a0Persona<\/em> title, even if it hadn’t release on other platforms previously. Those two combined resulted in numerous news stories about SEGA and Atlus “aggressively” porting previous titles to Steam and\/or other platforms. However, those stories didn’t mention anything about remakes of any kind.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Much of the desire and subsequent buzz about a\u00a0Persona 3<\/em> remake came from a Twitter campaign earlier this year<\/a>, something Atlus clearly recognized in its surveys. However, even if a\u00a0simple\u00a0Persona 3: FES\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0Persona 3 Portable<\/em> is comparatively easier to develop, a\u00a0Persona 3 Remake<\/em> makes a lot of sense.\u00a0The\u00a0Persona<\/em> series could be taking a very different direction with\u00a0Persona 6<\/em> now that the original series director, Katsura Hashino, has left P-Studio for his own new project. A\u00a0Persona 3\u00a0<\/em>remake represent an opportunity from two viewpoints: emphasizing all of the great aspects of\u00a0Persona 3<\/em> that helped form the franchise into what it is today, while also providing an opportunity to experiment with new concepts or ideas to change the\u00a0Persona<\/em> design framework.<\/p>\n

Similar to how\u00a0Final Fantasy 7 Remake<\/em> is balancing its legacy with new content<\/a>,\u00a0a\u00a0Persona 3<\/em> remake could do the same. As something unique to the third entry, a\u00a0Persona 3<\/em> remake would certainly help combine all of the releases of\u00a0Persona 3<\/em> (the base game,\u00a0Persona 3: FES<\/em>, and\u00a0Persona 3 Portable<\/em>) into one definitive experience. Additionally,\u00a0remaking the game could also bring with it all sorts of quality-of-life changes like controllable party members, fully voiced in-engine cutscenes, alongside improved graphically fidelity and more. Plus, the Persona<\/em>\u00a0development team could potentially use\u00a0Persona 3<\/em>‘s remake\u00a0as a jumping off point for\u00a0Persona 6<\/em>\u00a0down the line.<\/p>\n

Persona 6<\/em> will be the first time the series is under new creative control, at least from a top-down level. Katsura Hashino did indeed direct the franchise between Persona 3<\/em> and\u00a0Persona 5<\/em>, but the existing development team still has many veterans who worked on previous entries. Fans are likely expecting a huge jump in scale and scope between\u00a0Persona 5<\/em> to\u00a0Persona 6<\/em>, considering\u00a0Persona 5<\/em> was originally developed for the PS3 and PS4. Any development on\u00a0Persona 6<\/em>, assuming full development began after the release of\u00a0Persona 5 Royal\u00a0<\/em>this year<\/a>,\u00a0would presumably be for next-gen consoles only.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0Persona 3<\/em> remake could help bridge the gap between\u00a0Persona 5<\/em> and the next mainline sequel. There are likely plenty of\u00a0Persona<\/em> fans, either new or existing, who haven’t played\u00a0any version of\u00a0Persona 3<\/em> yet. Plus, considering enough fans were able to make #Persona3Remake trending on Twitter, it’s clear there’s a desire for a remake.\u00a0The third entry in the series did set the foundation for\u00a0Persona 4<\/em> and\u00a0Persona 5<\/em> to succeed upon, so remaking\u00a0Persona 3<\/em> would make a lot of sense at this point.<\/p>\n

Persona 6<\/em><\/strong> is rumored to be in development.<\/p>\n
