A reliable Persona leaker has claimed that a remake of Persona 4 is planned, but that we'll likely be waiting a while until we actually see it come to fruition.
While Persona 4 fans certainly don't have it anywhere near as bad as those who got started on Persona and Persona 2, it's still fair to say that they've been feeling a little neglected lately. Despite being one of the games that initially put the series on the mainstream map (maybe not as much as Persona 5, but still more than the earlier entries), Atlus has been surprisingly quiet about Yu Narukami over the past few years.
After spending years just wanting to be able to play Persona 4 Golden on a console that isn't the PS Vita, there was a bit of salt in the wound when it was revealed that Persona 3 would be getting a remake first. Now that Reload has released, a lot of fans are wondering if Persona 4 is ever going to get the same treatment.
Although rumours have suggested that the first two Persona games could be getting remakes or remasters, the rumour mill has been surprisingly quiet about whether Persona 4 is going to get one. Worry not, though, as a reliable Sega leaker has suggested that it is planned, but won't be happening for a while now.
Over on Twitter, Persona insider MbKKssTBhz5 was asked by a Twitter user if we can expect a remake of Persona 4 to happen at some point in the near future. They replied by simply saying "yes", but also suggested that it's not something that's coming soon and that fans are going to have to "wait for a while".
"Yes. But please wait for a while."
This is in line with what MbKKssTBhz5 has said about a Persona 4 remake in the past, as they've previously claimed that it's in the works at Atlus. Considering we're likely not that far from Persona 6 being revealed, it does make sense that we're going to have to wait a while to see a remake of Persona 4 come to fruition.

Developer Remedy Entertainment has released a quarterly report detailing the expected development cycles for its previously announced Max Payne 1+2 remake, Control 2, and Codename Condor. Both the Max Payne remake and the upcoming sequel for Control were first announced in 2022, and players now have a better idea of when these highly anticipated releases will enter the next stages of development.
Treyarch, one of the developers behind the Call of Duty games, is drawing some criticism online after a job posting on its careers page possibly hinted at the studio moving towards using AI-generated art in its games. While the job posting does not specifically state that the artist is being sought out for work in the Call of Duty franchise, Treyarch has been exclusively developing games from that franchise for more than 15 years.
The original 9th Dawn is the first game ever made by Valorware, kickstarting the popular series. Though it can still be played, it’s not very user friendly due to its age. Tom Au, creator of the original and founder of Valorware, has been wanting to remake his first game for a while. He stated that the state of the first game “didn’t really capture my original vision” and is excited to present its remake. 9th Dawn Remake is a full reimagining of the original, complete with quests, loot and monster pets. Also, the game has practically been rebuilt from the ground up, offering players over 200 hours of excitement. Set to release sometime this year on Steam, the game has several new features players can look forward to.
Persona 1 and 2 are getting remakes.
Persona 1 and Persona 2 are due to receive remakes, it’s claimed.

The highly anticipated game Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second installment in the ambitious Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, received widespread critical acclaim when it launched in late February.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth enjoyed widespread critical acclaim upon its launch earlier in the year on a level that no game in the series has in a long, long time- though it seems that critical acclaim isn’t quite translating to commercial success in the manner that Square Enix would have hoped for.
It’s still difficult to wrap your head around how Square Enix managed to make a game as massive and diverse as Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth in the short amount of time that it did, and it looks like the company is hoping to do the same with the remake trilogy’s final instalment.
Though Square Enix has not publicly shared details about the next part of the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, the development team has provided some new insight through the game's companion books.
A remake of the critically acclaimed JRPG Persona 4 is said to be in development, according to a reliable Sega/Atlus insider.
