Persona 4 Revival is officially bringing the JRPG back in a shiny new remake, and we now have a release date set for February 2027.
Yes, after making a very welcome appearance during the Xbox Games Showcase June 2026 stream as part of the stacked Summer Game Fest schedule for 2026, the tail-end of the trailer at last confirmed a release date. Following Golden's release on Steam and on consoles a few years ago, it's great to see one of the best JRPGs follow in the footsteps of Persona 3 Reloaded to bring us a remake.
So, if you're keen to learn more about the new game, I've brought together a handy breakdown of everything you need to know about Persona 4 Revival, from its trailers to its platforms and more.
Persona 4 Revival release date confirmed
Persona 4 Revival has a release date set for February 18, 2027.
Following a lot of speculation about Persona 4 Revival's release date, Atlus confirmed we'll be stepping back into the Midnight Channel in 2027, with a February release date dropping at the end of a new trailer which debuted during the showcase.
Persona 4 Revival platforms
At the moment, Persona 4 Revival is slated for release on Xbox Series X/S, PC, and PS5, based on the listed platforms on the official site. There's good news for those who are subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass, as it'll be available on the service from day one.
There's a reasonable chance that the game will also come to the Switch 2 at some point; however, this isn't confirmed. But the good news is that Persona 3 Reload is officially on our list of upcoming Switch 2 games confirmed to be released this year. Persona 3 Reloaded is another remake, and since Persona 4 Golden was also released on Switch back in 2023, and Persona 5 Royal was released in 2022, we are betting on a Nintendo announcement any day now.
What is Persona 4?
If you're new to Persona 4 and don't know what to expect from the remake, let us enlighten you. The game is a dungeon-crawling JRPG with a side of slice-of-life anime, much like the rest of the Persona series and Metaphor: Refantazio. You can be exploring a dungeon one moment and then going off on a school trip to enjoy some undigestible food cooked by your friends the next. The core gameplay loop revolves around exploring the Midnight Channel, a dimension accessed by hopping into a TV, in order to stop a series of murders.
The setting may sound a bit grim, but it's all baked into such a delightful world, full of fantastic characters, that it shines with a kind of youthful energy that makes it feel like an endless summer from when you were 16. The game takes place during a school year, with the warmer months boasting blue skies that will have you reaching for a bottle of Ramune. Even rainy days and dour months don't dampen the game's charm. It's a heady mix, and one that only Atlus can really pull off.
Persona 4 Revival trailer
You can watch the teaser trailer for Persona 4 Revival right now, and you should, because it looks absolutely stunning. The trailer doesn't show too much, but we do get to see some iconic Persona 4 locations, including the Shopping District, its shrine (minus a Mysterious Fox demanding all yo yens), the High School, and the briefest glimpses of the TV World.
A longer trailer debuted during the Xbox Game Showcase 2026 stream, which you can watch below.
Persona 4 Revival gameplay
We haven't had a good look at the Persona 4 Revival's gameplay yet, with the teaser trailer offering only the barest of glimpses. What we can glean from the trailer is that the game adopts a more standard third-person camera, akin to that seen in Metaphor: Refantazio, instead of the fixed-camera view that the original Persona 4 had when exploring outside of dungeons.
It's safe to say that aside from this, the core gameplay will remain roughly similar to the original game. If it's anything like the changes that Persona 3 Reload made to Persona 3's gameplay, the changes will be fairly minor and more focused on quality-of-life changes. Maybe we'll get some additional spells, a return of the Theurgy mechanic, or Link Episodes.
Voice actors from the original Persona 4 and Golden have been discussing the fact that they weren't invited back for the remake. This suggests that either there'll be an entirely new voice cast and new dialogue, as with Reload, or that the original lines will be reused, possibly after remastering.

Persona 4 Revival development and key facts
The existence of a Persona 4 remake feels like it's been the worst-kept secret in games for a while now. Not only have we had the voice actors discussing the fact that they've not been asked to return, but we also saw the domain p4re.jp getting registered back in March, which mirrors the official Japanese website for Persona 3 Reload, p3re.jp. As it turns out, this is, in fact, the official Japanese website for Persona 4 Revival.
Atlus conducted a consumer survey back in 2022, asking which remakes people wanted most, with Persona 3 topping the list. Lo and behold, we got a remake of Persona 3, and we're now moving onto the fourth most-wanted remake in the shape of Persona 4 Revival.
Can I pre-order Persona 4 Revival?
As of the time of writing, you can't preorder Persona 4 Revival just yet. You can, however, wishlist it on the Xbox Store, Steam, and the PlayStation Store.
