Persona 4 Revival officially announced: Atlus delivers a modern makeover
After months of swirling rumors and cryptic hints, Atlus has finally confirmed what fans have been hoping for: Persona 4 Revival , a complete remake of the iconic 2008 RPG, is officially in development. The announcement came during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8, 2025, sending shockwaves of excitement through the gaming community.
Persona 4 Revival is set to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and will be available day one for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. While Atlus has not revealed a release date, the debut teaser trailer showcased a fresh 360-degree camera system, replacing the original's fixed perspective and promising a more immersive exploration of the rural town of Inaba.
The remake is expected to follow in the footsteps of 2024's Persona 3 Reload , featuring upgraded visuals, enhanced sound, a revamped combat system, and expanded social simulation elements. Longtime fans are already speculating about quality-of-life improvements and new gameplay mechanics, though Atlus has remained tight-lipped about specifics.One notable development is the absence of several original English voice actors, including Yuri Lowenthal (Yosuke), who recently shared on social media that they were not invited back for the remake. This has sparked discussion among fans eager to see how the new cast will reinterpret beloved characters.
Originally released for the PlayStation 2 and later as Persona 4 Golden on the PS Vita, the game is celebrated for its blend of murder mystery, dungeon crawling, and high school social life. The remake aims to introduce a new generation to its gripping narrative and quirky cast, while giving veterans a reason to revisit Inaba with fresh eyes.
Although details remain scarce, the hype is undeniable. As Atlus puts the finishing touches on Persona 4 Revival , fans are already counting down the days until they can dive back into the Midnight Channel.

'He'll do everything': Jake Guentzel blasts Sidney Crosby's stardom, says fame became toxic in Pittsburgh
Jake Guentzel, reveals the challenges Sidney Crosby faces due to his fame (Getty Images) Sidney Crosby's name still draws crowds, cameras and conversation two decades into an elite NHL career. But fame has its trade-offs — and former teammate Jake Guentzel offered a blunt portrait of what life looks like for the Penguins captain when he spoke on The Cam & Strick Podcast. Guentzel's comments lift the curtain on how constant attention shapes Crosby's daily routine and the discipline behind his longevity. Fans, photos and no easy exit from the spotlight Jake Guentzel didn't sugarcoat the reality: 'I mean he has to,' he said, referring to the difficulty Sidney Crosby faces moving around Pittsburgh without being swarmed. 'It's got to be tough for him. I mean, everyone wants to be all over him, it seems like.' Jake Guentzel talks Crosby, Kucherov, 4 Nations and more That public magnetism demands careful management — something Crosby handles by keeping his private life tightly controlled and remaining approachable yet guarded when fans approach. As Guentzel added, 'Whenever you come up to him, he's so friendly. He's such a nice guy; that's the good thing about him. He'll do everything for everyone.' Lone work ethic: how Sidney Crosby sustains elite production Behind the celebrity is relentless preparation. Guentzel and hosts pointed out Crosby's near-constant training, with Guentzel answering 'Never' when asked if Crosby takes time off. The veteran's solo sessions — often with a single trainer — underline a commitment few can match: Crosby has delivered around 20 seasons of elite play, three Stanley Cups and the kind of scoring output (more than 600 goals and roughly 1,600 points) that cements a generational legacy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Legendary Cars from the Past Undo Also Read: Connor McDavid's top-six gets a boost as Oilers secure Andrew Mangiapane on $7.2 million deal For Pittsburgh, Crosby's profile is both an asset and a management challenge. His draw fills arenas and media cycles, but it also requires the team and Crosby to protect his routine so he can keep producing on the ice. Even as the Penguins chase playoff relevance, Crosby's example — balancing public demands with private discipline — remains a blueprint for sustaining greatness in a spotlight that never dims.
