June 8 Could Be a Big Day for Persona Fans

It’s looking like June 8 will be an exciting day for fans of the Persona franchise, as that’s the rumored day the Persona 4 remake will be announced. Persona 4 was originally released in 2008 and earned widespread critical acclaim. Eventually, the game was ported to the PlayStation Vita as Persona 4 Golden, becoming one of the handheld’s highest-rated games in the process. More recently, Atlus ported Persona 4 Golden to PC, Switch, PS4, and Xbox One.

While many fans are anxious to see Persona 6, Atlus has been releasing spin-off games and remakes. Persona 3 Reload, for example, was released last year and was a big hit, earning rave reviews, winning awards, and becoming the company’s fastest-selling game after it sold over a million copies in just one week. With the runaway success of Persona 3 Reload, it really should come as no surprise that Atlus is apparently gearing up to give Persona 4 similar treatment.

With rumors of a Persona 4 remake allegedly launching soon, it may be time to replay Persona 4 Golden and relive the adventure in Inaba.

If the rumors are to be believed, the supposed Persona 4 remake will likely be revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8. Nothing else is known about the Persona 4 remake, but it will likely feature the same kind of quality-of-life improvements that were seen in Persona 3 Reload. It’s possible some content will be missing, like how Persona 3 Reload didn’t feature everything from FES and Portable. But ultimately, the Persona 4 remake has not even been officially announced yet, so fans should keep any claims about it with a grain of salt for now.

Persona 4 Remake Rumored for Xbox Games Showcase

Assuming the Persona 4 remake is at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8 as rumored, then one has to imagine there’s a good chance it will be launching as a day one Xbox Game Pass game. As some may recall, Persona 3 Reload was a day one Game Pass game, and Atlus seems to have built a strong relationship with Microsoft these past few years. Persona fans will just have to tune in to the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8 to see if there is any truth to the rumors.

In the meantime, the Persona 4 remake isn’t the only game rumored for the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8. According to the leaks, the Xbox Games Showcase will feature the long-rumored Gears of War collection, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Minecraft Dungeons 2, and Ninja Gaiden 4. Once the showcase rolls around, it will be interesting to see which rumors turn out to be true.
