It's time to tune back into the Midnight Channel in Persona 4 Revival. After 17 years since the original game launched on the PlayStation 2, a remake is well overdue and, given how long a remake was rumored, it's comforting to finally have the game see the light of day.
You may be thinking to yourself, "isn't that what Persona 4 Golden is for, though?" to which I'd respond with a hearty "no". Persona 4 Golden was the key to getting the 2008 game onto Steam, but it still had that classic (for lack of a better word) look to it which definitely put a lot of people off playing it. Persona 4 Revival, on the other hand, is a complete visual overhaul, bringing the game more up to speed with the current look of the Persona series.
Now that there's a release date and more information out there, we've pulled together everything we know about Persona 4 Revival, and we'll continue to update this page as we learn more so you stay in the loop of one of the most anticipated remakes.
When will Persona 4 Revival release?
The Persona 4 Revival release date is February 18, 2027. That date got announced during the Xbox Games Showcase in summer 2026, vindicating the many rumors and leaks that had been pointing to an early 2027 launch. You can pre-order the game now for some extra BGM goodies, or spring out for the fancier Digital Editions if you'd like some extra cosmetics.
Persona 4 Revival trailers
The first trailer for Persona 4 Revival was shared at the Xbox Games Showcase in 2025, and as exciting as it was to finally get a look at the rumoured game it really doesn't give a lot away. There's a shot of a Yasogami classroom, the Inaba Shopping District, the Samegawa Floodplain, and Mysterious Fox's shrine. The game definitely looks the part, and even this visual upgrade is enough to get players excited to jump back in.
Persona 4 Revival's pre-order trailer at the Xbox Games Showcase in 2026 also revealed its release date for February 2027. Since then, we've got dedicated trailers for characters, the protagonist, Rise, and Personas and Fusion.
Persona 4 Revival gameplay
We got our best look yet at what Persona 4 Revival plays like in a recent livestream. It's nice to see that everything we know and love is still in Revival: turn-based combat, charming characters, mysterious rural setting, Golden extras, and weird shenanigans in the TV world with our egg-shaped friend, Teddy.
You can also check out 25 minutes of uninterrupted gameplay thanks to footage captured at BiliBili World 2026.
What has changed in Persona 4 Revival?
As well as a major graphical upgrade, which includes tweaks to the UI, there's actually a lot that Revival has changed from the original and Golden versions.
