In the end, it was a very faithful remake with regards to story and structure, but at the same time, it <em>felt<\/em> like a new game. We <em>think<\/em> that&#8217;s what Wada&#8217;s getting at here.<\/p>\n<p>Having said that, it does sound like there&#8217;s going to be one big difference between the two remakes. Reload was based on the initial PS2 release of Persona 3 \u2014 not the expanded FES version. Instead, Episode Aigis \u2014 which covered the content of FES \u2014 was added as paid DLC.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, it&#8217;s <em>assumed<\/em> that Revival will be using the expanded Persona 4 Golden as its base instead of the original Persona 4. Wada obviously points to this being the case in the above quote, but Revival&#8217;s announcement trailer also featured a music track specifically from Golden.<\/p>\n<p>Wada continues: &#8220;To be honest, it\u2019s a tough challenge. But it\u2019s shaping up nicely!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As for when we&#8217;ll actually get to see Revival again&#8230; well, we could be waiting on that for a while. Publisher SEGA isn&#8217;t expecting the remake to launch until <em>at least<\/em> fiscal year 2027.<\/p>\n<p>And on that note, don&#8217;t even <em>think<\/em> about mentioning Persona 6 in the comments section below.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"text source\">[source <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external\" title=\"External Link: https:\/\/www.4gamer.net\/games\/933\/G093322\/20250926041\/\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.4gamer.net\/games\/933\/G093322\/20250926041\/\">4gamer.net<\/a>, via <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external\" title=\"External Link: https:\/\/personacentral.com\/p3r-tgs-2025-interview\/\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/personacentral.com\/p3r-tgs-2025-interview\/\">personacentral.com<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:pushsquare.com\/ssl\/ps5\/related-info\/8b30a556a532dc45b489b8958a47aca5 @ 1759425752 --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"see-also\">\n<dl>\n<dt>Related Games<\/dt>\n<dd class=\"first\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\" first\"><strong>Persona 4 Golden<\/strong> (PS4)<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\"><strong>Persona 4 Revival<\/strong> (PS5)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/dd>\n<dt>See Also<\/dt>\n<dd class=\"first\">\n<ul>\n<li class=\" first\"><strong>Persona 4 Golden<\/strong> Review<\/li>\n<li>The Best PS5 Games (2025)<\/li>\n<li class=\" last\">Best PS4 Games<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more like this article, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/yohrt.com\/news\/game\/\" target=\"_blank\" >Game<\/a><\/span> category.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2025\/10\/its-not-just-about-adding-more-persona-4-revival-producer-wants-to-get-the-remake-right\" target=\"_blank\" >Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;It&#8217;s Not Just About Adding More&#8217;: Persona 4 Revival Producer Wants to Get the Remake Right As you&#8217;d expect, Atlus isn&#8217;t quite ready to talk about Persona 4 Revival in any real detail just yet \u2014 but that hasn&#8217;t stopped series producer Kazuhisa Wada from commenting the team&#8217;s approach to such a project.
