Summary
ThePersona 4remake is reportedly real and coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one, according to one Microsoft leaker. The same source suggests that Atlus’s modernized version ofPersona 4may be closer than initially expected.
Rumors of aPersona 4remake being in the works have been circulating online since early 2024, around the timePersona 3 Reloadwas released to widespread success, becoming Atlus’s fastest-selling game—a title it has since ceded toMetaphor: ReFantazio. While several leakers claimed that the project existed, no one at the time suggested it would materialize anytime soon.
In late March 2025, Spanish YouTuber Extas1sreportedthat thePersona 4remake is “just around the corner,” and that it will be a day-one Xbox Game Pass release. His claim arrived one day after someone registered the p4re.jp domain in Japan,reigniting speculation that aPersona 4remake is in the works. For clarity, p3re.jp is the official Japanese website ofPersona 3 Reload. Extas1s referred to the rumored remake asPersona 4 Reload, though that seems unlikely to be its official name, as the word “reload” is closely associated withPersona 3due to Evokers—gun-shaped devices for summoning Personas—which have no connection to any other entry in the franchise.
Several Persona Titles Have Already Come to Xbox Game Pass on Day One
The aforementioned p3re.jp domain was registered roughly three months beforePersona 3 Reloadwas announced. While the recent registration of the p4re.jp domain hence suggests thePersona 4remake could be close to a reveal, this contradicts earlier reports indicating the project was still in its infancy as of early 2024.
Judging by social media reactions to this development, many vocal fans feel that thePersona 4remake is premature, and that they’d much rather learn what’s happening with the next original entry in the franchise. Atlusconfirmed thatPersona 6was in developmentback in July 2021 but has shared no details about the project ever since.
