Atlus put Kotone Shiomi in 3D. She still did not get a mainline game. Makoto got Reload. Yukari and Akihiko get the reruns. Kotone spent years as the Portable option fans asked for and official crossovers ignored. Now she shows up in Persona 5: The Phantom X on September 24. That is the ranking. She is worth a rate-up. She was never worth the remake. FeMC is canon enough to sell. Not canon enough to lead.

Persona 6 producer Kazuhisa Wada says Atlus has never tried to make Persona games specifically for the global market. “Our goal has never been simply to make games for the global market. Instead, we’ve always believed in creating the games that we ourselves genuinely find exciting.” Wada says Persona becoming popular worldwide was a result of the team making the games they wanted to make, not trying to appeal to international audiences. Atlus is now putting more focus on localization and quality, but they say the philosophy remains the same, make the games they find exciting.

Studio MAPPA will create all the anime cutscenes for Persona 4: Revival. ATLUS announced the news at Anime Expo 2026, confirming that the studio behind Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and Attack on Titan: The Final Season is creating every animated scene in the game. MAPPA animation director Sota Yokote said, “I played Persona 1 through Persona 4 before starting this project,” adding that he wanted to understand the series and ensure the animation matched the world and feel of Persona.

Persona 4 Revival is updating some of the original dialogue to make it feel more “modern,” but Atlus says the characters themselves aren’t being changed. Producer Kazuhisa Wada explained that the team found parts of the original script that weren’t as clear as they wanted. “There’s information that we assumed people would be able to pick up on, but they didn’t.” Some lines have been rewritten to make the conversations clearer and easier “But the conversation itself is all the same. The characters are all the same people. We haven't changed any parts of their personalities. We've adjusted dialogue to make it more modern and to be more effective telling the story."
