The Persona series celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2026, and Atlus is celebrating the occasion.
A new website is launched, which you can browse here, includes a series timeline that features all the games (even spin-offs) from the series, from Revelations: Persona to the upcoming Persona 4 Revival.
Information on upcoming 30th anniversary celebration events and news, will also be hosted there.
So far in Southeast Asia, A Persona 5 Royal collab will be coming to the Aniplus Cafe, Singapore and there will be a Sega Atlus Festival to be held at the Mall Of Indonesia this February. These are part of the Persona 30th anniversary celebration.
Atlus also revealed a new key visual for the 30th anniversary celebrations featuring all the Persona protagonists, as drawn by Shigenori Soejima.
Soejima and a few other key talents that made Persona have since worked at Studio Zero to work on the fantastic RPG Metaphor: ReFantazio, so it’s interesting to see the person that defined the look of Persona characters to produce this for the anniversary.
“Work is steadily progressing on the future of the series, including Persona 4 Revival,” says Kazuhisa Wada, General Producer of P-Studio.
Whether we will see an official reveal of the next numbered Persona game this year remains to be seen. For now, fans can look forward to playing a remake of Persona 4 coming soon.
The Persona series began as one of many spin-offs to the Shin Megami Tensei series. Revelations: Persona (also released under the title Shin Megami Tensei: Persona) and the two Persona 2 games were cult hits, but it was the explosive popularity of Persona 3 the defined the series as it is now: a tale of a high-school student and their friends juggling between their daily life routine as high-schoolers and their dungeon crawling efforts that makes use of powers to summon a Persona, all presented in a stylish UI with a primary colour of choice.
