Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden are coming to modern platforms relatively soon as Atlus has finally revealed a release date for their launch. Originally, Atlus announced that both P3P and P4G will come to modern consoles after Persona 5 Royal’s release later this month.
Persona 4 Golden came out on PC in 2020, but Persona 3 is only available on older platforms until this port comes out. While everyone has their favorite games from the series, both P3 and P4 received critical acclaim when they came out. Atlus has just now announced the release date for these games, and it looks like fans will not have to wait long before they can get their hands on them.
Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden will launch on modern platforms on January 19, 2023. Atlus confirmed this news via a tweet shortly after a concert, and the developers also shared new artwork to go alongside this announcement. The art features the protagonists of recent Persona games in the style of Persona 3’s OST cover. It should be noted that all three Persona games will launch on Xbox Game Pass on day one. Even though the shared image only makes note of Microsoft platforms and Xbox Game Pass, both games are to set launch on all consoles on this date.
Fans should note that Persona 3 does not have a definitive version, as both P3P and P3 FES have their pros and cons. FES has better presentation, while P3P allows gamers to control their party members during combat encounters. It also lets users play as a female protagonist, something not possible in Persona 4 or Persona 5. Due to the lack of a definitive edition, Persona 3 fans have been asking for a full remake for a while now.
Persona 5 Royal finally launches on October 21 on PC, Switch, PS5, and Xbox consoles. Atlus will also launch a new limited edition, called Persona 5 Royal 1 More Edition, to mark this re-release. Furthermore, customers who buy P5R will get all of its DLC, which mainly consists of costumes for the cast of characters, for free.
P5R was originally released as a PS4 exclusive in 2020, and this PS5 version comes with a few enhancements. However, owners of P5R will not get a free upgrade to the PS5 version, and their save files will also not transfer.
Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden are launching on PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X on January 19, 2023.
