Persona 1 and 2 remakes are 'probably' coming, says producer
With Persona 3 Reload already released and Persona 4 Revival scheduled for next February, series producer Kazuhisa Wada has indicated that remakes of the first two mainline entries are likely to happen eventually.
In an interview with RPS, Wada explained that the team originally conceived the ideas to remake Persona 3 and Persona 4 around the same time. The latter had to be put on the backburner for a while, but the intent for both projects was the same. "I think a remaster or remake is some kind of cultural preservation," he said, per a translator.
Wada continued to explain that it is Atlus's "duty" to make sure its older games aren't lost to time and are still around in the modern day. With that in mind, "Persona 1 and Persona 2 are something we'll probably eventually do, too."
Persona 1 and Persona 2 are also the only mainline games in the series that aren't readily available to buy on any modern system, making Wada's point about "cultural preservation" particularly salient here.
A few years back, a prominent Sega leaker claimed that Persona 1 and Persona 2 remakes were in the works, alongside a Persona 4 remake that hadn't been made official at the time. It wasn't clear how substantially different those rumoured remakes would be, however.
