A new rumor gives many Persona fans hope for remakes of Persona 1 and Persona 2, as the two titles may be in the works already.
Highlights
- Persona rumors hint at remakes for the first two games, following the positive reception of Persona 3 Reload by fans.
- Fans are excited for the potential Persona 1 and 2 remakes, wondering how Atlus will update the characters and design.
- The rumored remakes have not been confirmed by Atlus yet.
Persona rumors suggest that remakes for the first and second games are in development. This comes after the release of Persona 3 Reload, which was received positively by the Persona community.
Persona has earned a dedicated fanbase because of its unique characters and compelling stories. The franchise has been around since the late '90s, so it's difficult for many fans to access older titles. But with Atlus releasing a Persona 3 remake and reportedly planning a Persona 4 remake, fans have become hopeful that the developer will revisit other titles as well.
A new rumor seems to confirm that Persona and Persona 2 will be getting remakes soon. In a tweet, reliable Persona leaker Midori said that Atlus will work on an "updated form" of the first two games. They didn't share other information regarding the remakes, such as when they'll be released, but the news was enough to excite many fans.
Persona 1 and Persona 2 Remakes Are Allegedly in the Works
- Revelations: Persona — Originally released in 1996
- Persona 2: Innocent Sin — Originally released in 1999
- Persona 2: Eternal Punishment — Originally released in 2000
Amid the excitement, many Persona fans were curious as to how Atlus would pull off remakes of Persona 1 and Persona 2, since they're both quite different from their successors. Some are also wondering if Atlus would improve the games' design and give them the Persona 5 treatment, just like with Persona 3 Reload.
It will be interesting to see if Atlus redesigns the characters, especially the protagonists, Persona 1's The Boy With Earring and Persona 2's Tatsuya Suou and Maya Amano. It's highly likely that both games' characters will have new voice-overs, which might take a significant amount of time to finish.
It's important to note that Atlus hasn't confirmed the existence of these rumored Persona remakes, so fans should still take the news with a grain of salt. If they are really in the works, it might take a few years before they come out. Meanwhile, Atlus is reportedly hard at work developing Persona 6, which could be revealed at some point in the near future. Atlus has other exciting games in the pipeline as well, such as Metaphor: ReFantazio and the mobile game Persona 5: The Phantom X.
