The long-rumored Persona 4 remake, Persona 4 Revival is releasing at some point after April 1, 2026, and JRPG fans are spiraling at the implication that Persona 6 won't come out for months, if not years, after the 4 remake.
Sega confirmed in its latest management presentation (via Wario64) that Persona 4 Revival, as well as Like a Dragon studio RGG's action game Stranger Than Heaven, are launching "in or after" Sega's fiscal year ending in March 2027, which starts April 1, 2026.

Sega finally lifted the lid on the Persona 4 remake during this year's Xbox Games Showcase, and apparently some fans took that to mean it would be coming a little sooner than this new info suggests.
Moreover, the dominant narrative in the comments is that Persona 6 is probably really, really far away from releasing based on the above information. Sega has yet to announce or even explicitly confirm the project's existence, and that alone is a semi-reliable indicator that it's still a few years out, but that hasn't stopped comments like these from being posted all over the place.
"Persona 6 will come out after I'm dead on PS9"
"At this point we'll get a modern P5 remake before P6"
"Persona 6 isn’t coming before 2035"
"we never getting persona 6 dawg"
In its presentation, Sony says it's releasing "four mainstay titles and more" during the same fiscal year ending in March 2027, but assuming one of those is Persona 4 Revival, it does seem less likely that Persona 6 will also be one of those titles. That said, Sega isn't necessarily bound by anything it says in these slides, so it's remotely possible that it shifts priorities or drops a surprise on us at some point. Or maybe I'm just huffing hopium as a fellow JRPG sicko and Persona 6 hopeful.
