Its going to happen eventually, but could an announcement be soon? (Atlus)Persona 6 remains MIA, but fans think theyve found another clue that points to a Persona 4 remake being in the works.The overwhelming success of Persona 3 Reload, a full remake of the original 2006 game, basically guarantees Sega and Atlus will be interested in doing more.Although some fans would prefer Atlus prioritise an original entry, namely the still absent Persona 6, theres mounting suspicion that the next game will be a remake of 2008s Persona 4.Its already a popular theory, but it now appears Atlus has filed a trademark for it, which has some thinking an announcement could happen in just a few months.According to Faz on X, Atlus registered a domain name for p4re.jp this week. Domain names, like trademarks and patents, arent always used, and are sometimes merely about stopping someone else from claiming them, but its pretty obvious p4re refers to a Persona 4 remake.This mirrors the events leading up to Persona 3 Reloads reveal. In 2023, Atlus registered a domain name of p3re.jp, which was followed by Persona 3 Reloads announcement at the June Xbox Games Showcase three months later.Assuming Atlus follows the same pattern, we could see an announcement this June, maybe even at this years Xbox showcase, if Microsofts marketing deal with Sega and Atlus is still going. As a reminder, Microsoft got to be the one to unveil Metaphor: ReFantazio as well.In terms of other evidence, Shihoko Hirata, a musician and singer best known for her contributions to Persona 4, admitted shes recently recorded music for a new game but didnt say what it was.Even without all this, a Persona 4 remake does feel like an eventuality. Aside from Persona 3 Reload becoming the fastest selling game in Atlus history (before Metaphor: ReFantazio exceeded it), Persona 4 used to be Atlus golden goose until Persona 5 came along.More TrendingIt was so popular it saw an enhanced version with new content for the PlayStation Vita, multiple spin-offs, and two separate anime adaptations.If a Persona 4 remake is Atlus next project, then that suggests Persona 6 is further off than thought. Previous rumours pointed to it launching in 2024, which obviously didnt happen.It was then suggested that itll launch in 2025 after an announcement in 2024 that year, but Atlus hasnt so much as teased the project.By September, it will have been nine years since Persona 5s Japanese launch (the West didnt get till March 2017) and, in that time, Atlus has kept busy with Persona 5 spin-offs, an enhanced re-release in Persona 5 Royal, and new entries/remasters for its other franchises like Shin Megami Tensei and Etrian Odyssey.
