More than two years removed from the launch of Persona 3 Reload and on the cusp of the release of Persona 4 Revival, fans naturally have one question on their minds: Where are the Persona 1 and 2 remakes?<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Both games \u2013 which actually released in the &#8217;90s as Revelations: Persona and Persona 2: Innocent Sin\/Eternal Punishment \u2013 have, so far, been left out of Atlus&#8217; trend of remakes. There&#8217;s been no word on whether modern-day reimaginings for the two JRPGs will be in the works. While Wada could neither confirm nor deny any if additional remakes are in the pipeline, it&#8217;s not exactly something he&#8217;d hate to see happen either.<\/p>\n<p><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">Persona Review Scores<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/imdbnews.ir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/atlus-producer-says-i-think-we-have-to-do-persona-1-and-2-remakes.gif\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3027214138 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\"><\/span><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;At this point, I can\u2019t say for sure,&#8221; he said, &#8220;but personally, I think it\u2019s something we should definitely do. I think we have to do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It&#8217;s a short, simple explanation that also happens to be the most promising update that fans hoping for Persona 1 and 2 remakes have maybe ever received. Still, even if they do come to fruition, it&#8217;s probably best not to expect them for at least a few years.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Persona fans have good reason to want to see more from Atlus. Its Persona 3 remake launched to positive reviews from fans and critics alike. IGN gave it a 9\/10 review, calling it &#8220;a timeless story of tragedy and hope with sharp emotional sincerity&#8221; with &#8220;countless small but impactful changes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Persona 4 Revival will offer a remake of the fourth mainline game when it launches for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S February 18, 2027. Wada said last year he&#8217;s &#8220;confident&#8221; it will &#8220;be a fresh and surprising product for both newcomers and long-time fans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">We want to reiterate that Wada&#8217;s words are not confirmation that Atlus will release Persona 1 and 2 remakes or that it is even working on them. However, if Kazuhisa is pushing for them to happen, it doesn&#8217;t sound like they&#8217;re out of the question.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">As Atlus wraps up its work on Persona 4 Revival, it&#8217;s also looking to the future with Persona 6. Our first look at this green-themed installment arrived in June, but you can see everything we know about it here. A live-action series adaptation of the franchise is also reportedly in the works.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Michael Cripe is a freelance writer with IGN.
