Microsoft’s Xbox Games Showcase is just around the corner, and we advise you to prepare your collective jaw for detachment because it’s going to hit us like a perfectly aimed energy sword. This once-in-a-year magic show is where Xbox pulls all their brand-new blockbusters out of their virtual hats.
Speaking of new blockbusters, rumors have been floating around the digital ether, whispering about a new JRPG that will be revealed at this year’s Xbox Games Showcase. If you still didn’t catch the drift, we are talking about Persona 4′s remake. Yes, you heard it right—one of the worst-kept secrets in the gaming industry will finally get a reveal. Let’s delve deeper into this.
Xbox Games Showcase might finally reveal the Persona 4 Remake we have all been waiting for
Persona 4 is an RPG game developed by Atlus in 2008. While the game is called Persona 4, it is chronologically the fifth installment in the Persona series, which is part of the larger Megami Tensei franchise. The game was released for the PlayStation 2, but an enhanced version was later ported to modern gaming consoles and PCs in 2020, selling more than 2.5 million copies worldwide.
According to a report by MP1st, Atlus is officially going to unveil the highly anticipated Persona 4 remake this weekend. The remake is reportedly being developed for the Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. While there has been no confirmation about a Switch 2 version, we ought to keep our peepers peeled just in case.
Although Atlus has not yet formally commented on the project, reports are suggesting that the upcoming game will follow the footsteps of its predecessor from last year, Persona 3 Reload. Like Persona 3 Reload, we can expect that the Persona 4 Remake will also get sharpened combat mechanics, revamped visuals, and a rhythm to the game that will match modern sensibilities.
Atlus has yet to confirm anything about the remake
For many of us, Persona 4 wasn’t just a game we just played and enjoyed, it was a world that we lived in and spent our in-game days juggling school and supernatural murder mysteries. It was comfortingly weird and very much unforgettable; now the idea of stepping into Inaba with modern visuals is hitting us deep.
Persona 4 Remake is going to be more than just a game; it is going to feel like we are coming back home after a long trip, except the home is cleaner and has tighter combat mechanics.
The Xbox Games Showcase might have a lot to offer, but for many of us, this is the one moment we have all been quietly waiting for over the past few months. So, whether you have already walked the foggy streets of Inaba before jumping headfirst into the midnight channel, this weekend might be the perfect time for you to tune in and rediscover this evergreen classic game.
