AI Summary
Atlus producer Kazuhisa Wada expressed a strong desire to remake the classic early Persona titles. While no official project exists yet, the success of recent remakes fuels fan hope. Persona 4: The Revival is confirmed for a February 18th launch next year.

It seems the prospect of a remake for the foundational titles of Persona, one of Atlus' crown jewels, is finally on the table.
This news comes via an interview published on the 10th by Gamerbraves, featuring Kazuhisa Wada, the general producer of the Persona series. The conversation touched upon the development direction of the Persona 4 remake, as well as Wada's personal reflections on the series as a whole.
When pressed specifically about the potential for remaking Revelations: Persona and the Persona 2: Innocent Sin/Eternal Punishment duology, Wada was quite candid. While the general producer noted that nothing can be confirmed at this precise moment, Wada admitted, "Personally, I believe it is a task that must be done. It is something we absolutely have to accomplish," showing a clear sense of resolve.
Revelations: Persona and Persona 2: Innocent Sin/Eternal Punishment were released in 1996 and 1999, respectively. Originally born as a spin-off from the Shin Megami Tensei franchise—another Atlus powerhouse—these titles carved out their own unique identity, cementing a legacy that has thrived for three decades. While Persona 3 and 4, which solidified the iconic style of the series, have already received the remake treatment, the studio is currently hard at work on the upcoming Persona 6.
The success of Persona 3 Reload, which refined the original mechanics to great acclaim, has naturally intensified the fan chorus demanding a modern overhaul of those earliest entries. Though silence had persisted for years, this latest interview breathes fresh air into the possibility, confirming that the creative team shares the sentiment.
Meanwhile, the Persona 4 remake is slated for release on February 18 next year, with full support for Korean subtitles.

아틀러스의 핵심 IP중 하나인 페르소나의 초기작 리메이크 가능성이 확인됐다.
이번 소식은 해외 매체 게이머브레이브즈(Gamerbraves)가 지난 10일 게재한 페르소나 시리즈 와다 카즈히사 총괄 프로듀서와의 인터뷰를 통해 전해졌다. 이번 인터뷰는 페르소나 4 리바이벌 개발에 대한 와다 프로듀서의 소회 및 방향성, 페르소나 시리즈 전반에 대한 내용을 다뤘다.
특히 여신이문록 페르소나 및 페르소나 2 죄·벌 리메이크에 대한 질문이 나왔다. 와다 프로듀서는 “현 시점에서는 확언할 수 없지만, 개인적으로는 꼭 해야 할 일이라고 생각한다. 반드시 해야만 한다고 본다”며 강한 의지를 피력했다.
여신이문록 페르소나와 페르소나 2 죄·벌은 각각 1996년, 1999년에 출시된 페르소나 시리즈 초기작이다. 아틀러스의 또다른 핵심 IP 여신전생에서 파생된 작품으로 시작되어, 독자적인 장르성을 구축해 30년 간 큰 인기를 끈 근본이기도 하다. 이후 페르소나의 스타일을 확립한 3편과 4편은 리메이크됐고, 신작 페르소나 6은 제작 중이다.
특히 페르소나 3 리로드는 기존시스템을 일부 개선한 리메이크를 통해 호평을 받으며, 초기 두 작품의 현대화 및 리메이크를 요구하는 목소리가 커졌다. 다만 오랜 시간이 지났음에도 별도 발표가 없었다. 이번 인터뷰를 통해 제작진의 의지가 확인되며 추후를 기대할 수 있는 여지가 생겼다.
한편, 페르소나 4 리바이벌은 내년 2월 18일 출시되며, 한국어 자막을 지원한다.
