Remakes of Persona 1 and 2 Are Likely to Happen Eventually Says Producer

Remakes of the original Persona and Persona 2 role-playing games are something that P-Studio will likely tackle eventually, according to the developer behind the franchise. Gamereactor reported that the leadership at Atlus’s internal development team acknowledged the growing fan demand for modern versions of the foundational titles in the long-running Atlus role-playing series.

While the studio has not announced an active production timeline for the classic titles, the producer’s remarks signal that reviving the earliest entries remains an acknowledged goal for the team. The franchise has expanded significantly following the global success of later installments, leaving older entries largely inaccessible on modern hardware platforms without original physical media or legacy digital storefronts.

Bringing Persona 1 and Persona 2: Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment up to contemporary standards would require substantial overhauls similar to recent industry role-playing game remakes. The original games feature vastly different gameplay systems, dungeon exploration mechanics, and narrative structures compared to the modern social-sim formulas popularized by Persona 3, Persona 4, and Persona 5.

Atlus continues to focus its immediate development efforts on other projects while keeping future catalog expansion options open. Fans of the franchise’s origins will have to wait for official confirmation as P-Studio evaluates when and how to approach the classic catalog.
