Summary
The web domain for a potentialPersona 4 Remakewas reportedly updated on April 21, as a source claimed that a reveal from Atlus and Sega could be imminent. The source stated that one of the earliest windows that a remake ofPersona 4could appear would be the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8, which runs alongside the annual Summer Game Fest.
Originally released on the PS2 in 2008,Persona 4followed its predecessors by offering players a blend of turn-based RPG combat with social life simulation elements. Set in the small fictional town of Inaba, Japan, players assume the role of high school transfer student Yu Narukami. After news of a murder shakes Inaba to its core, Yu teams up with his classmates to investigate the mysterious “TV World” and its connection to Inaba’s crime wave. Although an enhanced version calledPersona 4 Goldenwas later released on multiple platforms, thegraphical and gameplay style ofPersona 4remained firmly in the PS2 era.
Whilerumors of a possiblePersona 4 Remakeannouncementhave been persistent, new evidence may lend credence to some imminent news. According toTwitter user Msoni187(andcorroborated by Persona Central), the web domain forPersona 4 Remakewas updated on April 21, nearly a month after it was initially created.

Persona 4 Remake Web Domain Update Could Signal Imminent Game Announcement
The updated web domain, dubbed “P4RE.JP”, currently gives users a retrieval error when typed into a web browser. Additionally, no internal address for the web domain’s host was included in the backend data. Although it is unclear if thisPersona 4 Remakeweb domain belongs to Atlus, the timing of the domain update lines up with similar timeframes.
For example,Persona 3 Reloadhad its “P3R.JP” domain registered in March 2023, with an update the following June, just before the game was leaked. As for a potential window forPersona 4 Remaketo be shown off, Msoni187 stated thatthe Xbox Games Showcase on June 8 is the most likely time. The Xbox Games Showcase is part of the 2025 Summer Game Fest schedule, which begins with the SGF Live broadcast on June 6.
WithPersona 3 Reloadborrowing graphical and gameplay elements fromPersona 5 Royal, it stands to reason thatPersona 4 Remakecould follow in their footsteps. Only time will tell when Sega and Atlus will pull back the curtain on thePersonaseries' future.
