Atlus had earlier revealed that it will be making several announcements as a part ofPersona’s 25th anniversary celebrations. Back in September, thefirst projects for the 25-year anniversary ofPersonawere revealed, but some fans were left disappointed due to the lack of new game announcements.
Yesterday at The Game Awards, Atlus confirmed thatPersona 4 Arena Ultimaxwill be getting remasteredfor PS4, Switch, and PC. This announcement probably did not come as a big surprise, as a rumor back in July had suggested that a remaster forPersona 4 Arena Ultimaxwas in the works. As Atlus’ Steam page had recently gotten updated, some fans were probably hoping for a release ofPersona 5 Royalon PC. Regardless, this was indeed a part of the 25th anniversary celebrations, but it was not the only news Atlus wanted to share.

Atlus has just now uploaded a new video titled “Persona25th Times Vol.2” on its YouTube channel, that goes over some of these new projects. Vol. 1 of this series was hosted by Moragana fromPersona 5, but this time fans are greeted by Teddie fromPersona 4. Teddie first shares some details regarding the remaster ofP4AU, including its story as well as gameplay mechanics. He then shows a massive list of DLC that will be part of this remastered release, before announcing that owners ofPersona 4 Goldenon Steam can getPersona 4 Arena Ultimaxat a discounted rate.
Teddie then reveals that the official soundtracks ofPersona 5 RoyalandPersona 5 Scramblewill be on sale from June 26, 2025 while also available on streaming services. The final two announcements include new merchandise and special events at the SEGA Collab Cafe in Japan, but before signing off, Teddie mentions that more projects forPersona’s 25th anniversary celebrations will be revealed soon.
Atlus had released theOSTs from previousPersonagames on streaming servicesearlier this year, butP5RandP5Swere missing, as they were both relatively recent releases. Fans will now be able to complete the set in February 2022.
WhilePersona 4 Arena Ultimaxbeing available on modern systems is indeed great news, some fans were hoping for the announcement of a newfighting game featuringPersona 5characters. Any big announcements are perhaps being saved for the future, and Atlus will probably let the audience know whenever it is ready to reveal new games in thePersonaseries.
