Rumors are intensifying that a Persona 4 remake will be announced at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8, 2025. The speculation has gained momentum following several developments that point to an imminent reveal of this highly-anticipated project.
Spanish YouTuber and established Microsoft leaker Extas1s has become the primary source fueling these rumors, claiming that the Persona 4 remake will be unveiled at Microsoft’s upcoming summer gaming event. This timing aligns with historical precedent, as both Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Tactica were previously announced at an Xbox event in 2023.

Several pieces of evidence support the possibility of this announcement:
First, a domain registration for p4re.jp occurred in late March 2025, following a pattern seen before Persona 3 Reload’s announcement when Atlus registered p3re.jp three months before revealing that game. This domain registration has reignited speculation about the remake’s development status.
p4re. jp was registered a few hours ago.

Second, there are reports that Persona 4 singer Shihoko Hirata has been recording for an unannounced game, further suggesting that development is well underway.

Third, Extas1s has also claimed that the remake will be a day-one Xbox Game Pass release, which would follow the pattern established by recent Atlus titles like Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Tactica.
While the rumored remake hasn’t been officially confirmed by Atlus or Sega, the mounting evidence suggests an announcement is forthcoming. If revealed at the June showcase, historical patterns indicate the game could potentially release during the 2025 holiday season or early 2026.
