Persona 4 Remake: Will It Be Persona 4 Reload?

Following the success of *Persona 3: Reload*, fans are eagerly anticipating a potential remaster of *Persona 4*. Recent developments have sparked excitement, suggesting that a remake might be in the works. Read more here.

Has Persona 4 Already Been Remade?

The speculation around a *Persona 4* remake gained traction when *Persona* YouTuber ScrambledFaz shared a screenshot on X, highlighting the registration of the domain “p4re.jp” on March 20th. Interestingly, two years prior, the domain “p3re.jp” was registered just months before the announcement of *Persona 3: Reload*. This pattern has led fans to believe that a *Persona 4* remake could be on the horizon.

Originally released in 2008, *Persona 4* was available only on PlayStation 3 and 4. In 2012, *Persona 4 Golden* was introduced, fully ported to the PlayStation Vita and PC. This version included enhanced graphics and additional content, such as a new town and the beloved romanceable character, Marie.

However, *Persona 4 Golden* is not considered a full remake, similar to *Persona 3 Portable*. Released in 2009 for the PSP, *Persona 3 Portable* featured a new protagonist and added Theodore to the Velvet Room. While these enhancements were significant, they pale in comparison to the comprehensive overhaul seen in *Persona 3: Reload*.

What Would a Persona 4 Remake Look Like?

Should a *Persona 4* remake meet the high standards set by *Persona 3: Reload*, fans have much to look forward to. The 2008 graphics of *Persona 4* are charming but could benefit from a modern refresh. A remake would likely include updated character portraits and animations for cut scenes.

Moreover, a remake could introduce new side quests and deepen character interactions, allowing players to further develop their social links. *Persona 4 Golden* introduced Okina City, offering activities like cinema visits and coffee shop outings. A remake could enhance these features, adding more depth to the city's exploration.

When Should We Expect a Persona 4 Remake?

In 2024, a credible Sega leaker confirmed that a *Persona 4* remake is indeed in development. However, fans should not anticipate its release in the immediate future. If we follow the timeline of *Persona 3: Reload*, an announcement might be expected as early as June, mirroring the reveal of *Persona 3: Reload* at the Xbox Summer Showcase in June 2023.

Amidst these rumors, Atlus has been teasing updates about *Persona 6* for years. With nearly a decade since *Persona 5*'s release, and no confirmed release date for *Persona 6*, the potential *Persona 4* remake might further delay its arrival. Some fans are concerned that a *Persona 4* remake could push back *Persona 6*, which is already rumored to be in development for several years. Hopefully, the development of a *Persona 4* remake won't significantly delay *Persona 6*.

And that's all the information we have on whether *Persona 4* will see a remake as *Persona 4 Reload*.
