Xbox presents at its Showcase the new installment of the Persona franchise

Last Sunday, June 7, the Xbox Games Showcase took place where some of the most important titles that we will see in the remainder of 2026 and in 2027 were announced. Among these was one of the most anticipated games by fans of Japanese role-playing games, which, although it was known to be in development, had not been officially confirmed yet.

Last Sunday, June 7, the Xbox Games Showcase took place where some of the most important titles that we will see for the rest of 2026 and in 2027 were announced. Among these was one of the most anticipated games by fans of Japanese role-playing, and although it was known to be in development, it was not officially known yet. And now, at last, Persona 6 has been announced.

Announced almost 10 years after the release of its previous installment, Persona 5, the game has been announced with a brief teaser that has only provided us with a logo, the color of the installment (green), and the consoles it will be released on: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Additionally, it will be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch. Apart from this, no new information about the game has been directly provided, which remains shrouded in complete mystery.

A game with more details than it seems

Except for the fact that the Xbox Store page for Persona 6 offers some new details about the game. In addition to the classic aspects of the Persona saga, such as the returning social links and the school setting, the game will feature “strange rumors, unsettling urban legends, and hidden incidents that only you and your closest allies can face.” This seems to bring it closer to the style of Persona 2: Innocent Sin, rather than the last two installments of the franchise.

Although there is no release date, the game has already been announced. But Atlus will still have to release its next game, also featured at this event: Persona 4 Revival, scheduled for February 18, 2027. So, at least, it seems that we will still have to wait until well into 2027 to see a new Persona.

On September 3, 2025, fans of tactical RPGs will be able to immerse themselves in the world of Demonschool, a game that has generated great expectations since its first glimpses in 2022. Although its release was initially delayed from 2024, the developers have confirmed that the wait is almost over, and players will be able to experience a unique blend of academic action and demonic battles.

A game with the potential to sweep the audience

Demonschool presents itself as a new style tactical RPG, where the action is based on movement. Players will take on the role of Faye and her unusual companions, facing enemies that navigate between the human and demonic worlds. The gaming experience will allow users to explore different aspects of university life on a mysterious island, including karaoke moments, romance, dog adoption, and of course, intense battles against monsters.

The combat mechanics have been compared by many to Into the Breach, as each round is planned by the player before being fully executed. Characters will move based on contextual actions, allowing for the enhancement of allies or the attack of enemies. This strategy could lead to highly coordinated battles, where players must demonstrate their tactical skill to emerge victorious. However, in case of making mistakes, the game has a rewind option to correct unfortunate decisions.

For those interested in trying the game before its release, a demo is now available on Steam that allows players to familiarize themselves with the dynamics and style of Demonschool. With this new installment, the development team promises to offer an entertaining and original experience that combines elements of everyday life with fantastic challenges.

During the Xbox Games Showcase 2025 event, the long-awaited remake of Persona 4 was finally revealed, titled Persona 4 Revival. This new project generates expectations among fans, as it is speculated that it could follow the line of the acclaimed Persona 4 Golden, an enhanced version that arrived four years after the original release in 2008. However, to date, Atlus has not officially confirmed that Persona 4 Revival is a remake of Golden.

A disappointing teaser, but with more than it seems

The teaser released in the showcase uses the song Time to Make History, which is exclusive to Persona 4 Golden. This has led many to consider that the remake will incorporate elements from this enhanced version. Additionally, the trailer shows a scooter that was not present in the original game, but has been part of the gameplay in Golden, suggesting that new mechanics and content from that expansion may have been included. These observations from fans and experts, such as the well-known modder MeovvCAT, reinforce the assumption that Persona 4 Revival will not simply be a remake of the original game, but will take the elements of its enhanced version more seriously.

The producer of the series mentioned during the presentation that they are “actively preparing the future development of the Persona series,” which has also sparked speculation about a possible Persona 6 in development. This statement has fueled interest among fans, who are looking forward to more news about the future direction of the franchise.

With the announcement of Persona 4 Revival, the fan community is excited, considering it one of the most anticipated titles in development. As more details are revealed, the fervor for the series seems to point to a promising future for JRPG lovers and the Persona saga in particular.

The Persona saga is experiencing one of its brightest moments, solidifying Persona 5 as a cultural phenomenon in recent years. With the success of recent remakes like Persona 3 Reload, the demand from fans to revive classics from the series has intensified, and all signs point to a remake of Persona 4 being one of Atlus’s next big reveals.

The game has not been officially announced at the moment

Persona 4, originally released in 2008 for PS2 and reissued as Persona 4 Golden for PS Vita and PC, is considered a milestone in the evolution of the social formula that defines the saga. The possibility of a remake has become a hot topic, and the recent statement by Yuri Lowenthal, voice actor of Yosuke Hanamura, has acted as an indirect confirmation. In a deleted post on BlueSky, Lowenthal commented: “I will not return as Yosuke for the Persona 4 remake,” which fuels speculation about the existence of the project.

Although Atlus has not yet made an official announcement about the remake, the fan community is eagerly awaiting news. Lowenthal, also known for his role as the voice of Peter Parker in Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man games, has sparked discussions about the direction the game will take if confirmed. It is suggested that the company may also be working on Persona 6, although remakes of Persona 1 and 2 are not currently in development, according to statements from the series producer.

In an interview with GameSpot, it was indicated that, although remakes of the early titles in the saga are not on the agenda for the moment, there could be possibilities in the future. Thus, the upcoming projects anticipated on the horizon are the mobile game Persona 5 X, the remake of Persona 4, and the highly anticipated installment of Persona 6, all scheduled for the near future.

The Atlus event, scheduled for today, May 15, has been overshadowed by a slip from the Apple App Store. This accidental revelation of the release date for the highly anticipated spin-off Persona 5: The Phantom X has surprised both fans and organizers. According to the leaked information, the game will be released on June 26 for mobile devices. Although the official page for the title had been active for months, the leak has raised concerns about possible surprises that may have been missed.

The Atlus event in the background

Developed by Black Wings Game Studio under the supervision of Atlus and SEGA, Persona 5: The Phantom X is a free-to-play game that incorporates gacha mechanics, turn-based combat, and social simulation, set in a parallel universe to the successful franchise. The visual style and stylized aesthetics that made Persona 5 famous will be present, along with new characters and settings that enrich the experience.

This spin-off had already made its initial debut in China in April 2024, and has expanded its availability to Taiwan, South Korea, and Hong Kong, so its arrival to the rest of the world was just a matter of time. However, Apple’s history of leaks, which previously affected launches like Apex Legends Mobile and Genshin Impact, has generated some skepticism. The App Store revelations may not be an isolated coincidence.

Fans will be able to follow Atlus’s event through its official YouTube channel, where it is expected to focus on gameplay news specifically designed for the Western audience, with the aim of satisfying the preferences of players less familiar with gacha mechanics. At the same time, it is anticipated that the release date will be officially confirmed during the event.

Sega confirms what we already suspected: Persona is one of its best-selling franchises worldwide

We all know that the Persona series is making a big impact. It’s no longer what it used to be. If it was once a niche series that only a few of us played, now it’s a giant that rubs shoulders with the big JRPGs. Even with the big names in video games. But it’s one thing to know it, because you can tell by how it’s talked about and treated in the media, and another to have confirmation with data, figures, and executives doing somersaults every time they remember it’s a franchise that belongs to their company. Which is exactly what has happened in […]

We all know that the Persona saga is making a big impact. It is no longer what it used to be. If before it was a niche saga that only a few of us played, now it is a behemoth that rubs shoulders with the great JRPGs. Even with the big names in video games. But one thing is to know it, because it is noticeable in how it is talked about and how it is treated in the media, and another is to have confirmation with data, figures, and executives doing somersaults every time they remember that it is a franchise that belongs to their company. Which is exactly what has happened in this year’s financial reports from Sega.

From Sega they have confirmed to their shareholders that the Persona series has sold 23.5 million copies of its games worldwide so far. An impressive figure for a JRPG, especially considering that its popularity didn’t start until the 3rd installment and didn’t explode until the 5th. This has been confirmed by Sega itself, stating that the most popular installment of the franchise is Persona 5, being the best-selling title of the series by far at the moment. Making it one of the IPs that generate profits for Sega today.

Praising the uniqueness of its characters and setting, the overflowing style, and how easy it is to relate to its stories, they also wanted to highlight how its transmedia approach has helped. Since its emphasis on concerts, animes, and mangas of the franchise has helped attract fans who have not played the games previously.

Similarly, other franchises are proving to be profitable for Sega. Among them are Yakuza, Sonic, Hokuto no Ken, and Phantasy Star Online: New Genesis, emphasizing that they have a diverse catalog that currently allows them to work on multiple projects while ensuring economic viability and stability. With recognized IPs that are popular among the general public, among which Persona seems to be one of their main flagships currently.

That is why, in the future, we can expect to see more of all these franchises. Although they have not specified what plans they have for any of them, and it is still too early for them to talk about how they perceive the reception of their recent Metaphor Re-Fantazio, it seems that Sega is experiencing a new golden age. Something that, with Persona 6 on the horizon to be announced and Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii announced for February 21, 2025, for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and PC, does not seem likely to change in the near future.

Persona 5 Royal DESCARGAR

Persona 5 Royal is a roleplaying game developed by Atlus. This is the definitive edition of the Persona 5 game. Here, players can get added content to the popular 2016 action RPG. It adds an extra semester at the end of the vanilla game. This semester comes with its story segment and palace.

This is everything that Atlus has revealed about Metaphor: ReFantazio, their fantasy game in the style of Persona

The team behind the Persona franchise is back with a fantasy JRPG, and we’ll tell you all the details we know so far.

On April 22nd at midnight, the company Atlus held a special half-hour event to present their new game, Metaphor: ReFantazio. A turn-based RPG set in a fantasy world where, after the death of the king, the entire kingdom competes to win the title of the new prince. The reason is that in this world anyone can be chosen as king, with the chosen one being the one with the most support from the people, and our protagonist presents his candidacy as the start of the game’s events.

Metaphor: ReFantazio DOWNLOAD

Metaphor Re Fantazio is a fantasy role-playing game where you will play as the female protagonist wielding incredible power.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is a game by Studio Zero, which if the name doesn’t sound familiar, the games surely will. The creative team behind the studio is the same people who worked on Persona 3, Persona 4, and Persona 5. Something that is noticeably evident in this game.

Aesthetically, it is reminiscent of Persona, only with a more cluttered and exaggerated art direction. Additionally, it will include different systems that will remind us of those of the beloved Atlus franchise. For example, we will have a job system, called Archetypes, that we can only unlock and improve through the social relationships we establish with the people who represent them. A nod to Persona’s social links, taken to the extreme here, as any character can use any archetype at any time.

Like in any good fantasy game, there will be different cities and dungeons that we can visit in our adventure. Stating that there will be a larger number of dungeons than what we are used to in Persona, it is understandable that combat will have a more prominent role in the adventure.

About the battles, in fact, they have emphasized that they will be a mixed system. For those in which we face enemies of a higher level than us, everything will happen in real time. But when we encounter enemies of our level or more powerful, the game will switch to a turn-based system where we can choose the actions of each of our characters. Making the process of facing different enemies lighter.

At the same time, Atlus has confirmed that Metaphor: ReFantazio will have a time limit to complete its missions, like in the recent Dragon’s Dogma 2. Something that will be added is that it is not an open world, but it will have very large scenarios. So much so that we will have additional mobility options, and even access to transportation to move from one region to another, which will not be automatic. Allowing us to establish relationships, manage our team, or get involved in some of its mini-games.

Metaphor: ReFantazio will be released on October 11th on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. In addition, Atlus has confirmed that they will showcase the game at various events worldwide in the future, but they have not confirmed anything yet.

Metaphor Re Fantazio: A New Journey from the Mind Behind Persona 3, 4, and 5

Metaphor Re Fantazio is the new game from the creators of Persona, now at Studio Zero, which will be released sometime in 2024.

The creator of Persona 3, 4, and 5 had previously left the Persona studio to develop a new game, which was known as Project Re Fantasy. However, during the Microsoft conference, it was revealed that the official name of the game is Metaphor Re Fantazio. The game retains a similar aesthetic to modern Persona titles and features character designs reminiscent of classic Shin Megami Tensei games. It seems that the creator intends to continue exploring a similar style to their previous titles but with a more pronounced focus on RPG elements.

With a release date set for sometime in 2024 and confirmation that it will be available for Xbox Series X and Series S, Metaphor Re Fantazio is highly anticipated. Developed by Studio Zero, a team comprised of individuals who have worked on Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, fans of the Persona series should be paying close attention to this new game. It holds the potential to be a significant step forward, offering fresh innovations within the medium.
