Persona Series' First Two Titles May Receive Remakes
Persona series' chief producer Kazuhisa Wada has indicated that the first two titles in the franchise may be remade in the future. This follows the release of Persona 3 Reload and upcoming remake of Persona 4.
Kazuhisa Wada, the chief producer for the Persona series, has suggested that the first two games in the franchise, Persona 1 and Persona 2, could be remade in the future. This potential development comes after the release of Persona 3 Reload and the ongoing work on a remake for Persona 4.
Wada described the process of creating remakes as a form of "cultural preservation," emphasizing the company's commitment to ensuring older titles remain accessible. He explained that while ideas for remaking Persona 3 and Persona 4 emerged concurrently, the latter project was temporarily delayed. Both titles are now central to the company's remake strategy.
He further stated that Atlus has a "duty" to ensure its past works are not lost to time and can be experienced on modern platforms. This is particularly relevant for Persona 1 and Persona 2, which are currently the only main entries in the series not easily available for purchase on contemporary systems.
In related news, Netflix is reportedly developing a live-action television series based on the Persona franchise. Christopher Monfette, known for his work on "Star Trek: Picard" and "9-1-1," is attached to write and executive produce the series.
