\"Persona<\/a><\/p>\n

As you’d expect, Atlus isn’t quite ready to talk about Persona 4 Revival<\/a> in any real detail just yet \u2014 but that hasn’t stopped series producer Kazuhisa Wada from commenting the team’s approach to such a project.<\/p>\n

In a fresh interview with Japanese outlet 4Gamer<\/a> (as translated by Persona Central<\/a>), the interviewer pushes Wada to say something about Revival. After all, we’ve only been handed one very brief trailer up until now.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, Wada doesn’t give much away, but his answer suggests that Revival is going to be very similar to Persona 3 Reload<\/a> in terms of scope.<\/p>\n

He explains: “Persona 4 already packed a ton of content in Persona 4 Golden, so when it comes to creating the next \u201cR,\u201d it\u2019s not just about adding more \u2014 we have to create an experience that\u2019s enjoyable in a new and different way.”<\/p>\n

Indeed, Reload didn’t try to redefine the original Persona 3. In the end, it was a very faithful remake with regards to story and structure, but at the same time, it felt like a new game. We think that’s what Wada’s getting at here.<\/p>\n

Having said that, it does sound like there’s going to be one big difference between the two remakes. Reload was based on the initial PS2 release of Persona 3 \u2014 not the expanded FES version. Instead, Episode Aigis<\/a> \u2014 which covered the content of FES \u2014 was added as paid DLC.<\/p>\n

In contrast, it’s assumed that Revival will be using the expanded Persona 4 Golden<\/a> as its base instead of the original Persona 4. Wada obviously points to this being the case in the above quote, but Revival’s announcement trailer<\/a> also featured a music track specifically from Golden.<\/p>\n

Wada continues: “To be honest, it\u2019s a tough challenge. But it\u2019s shaping up nicely!”<\/p>\n

As for when we’ll actually get to see Revival again… well, we could be waiting on that for a while. Publisher SEGA isn’t expecting the remake to launch until at least fiscal year 2027<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And on that note, don’t even think about mentioning Persona 6 in the comments section below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As you’d expect, Atlus isn’t quite ready to talk about Persona 4 Revival in any real detail just…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471081,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[31124,32372,55,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-471080","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-atlus","9":"tag-persona","10":"tag-ps5","11":"tag-technology","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115310270345289135","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471080"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471080\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
