Persona 4 Revival was supposed to be released in summer 2026, but Atlus needed more time

The developers planned an earlier release

The remake of the cult RPG Persona 4 Revival will reach the new Switch 2 console on May 20, 2027, while on other platforms the game will appear slightly earlier — in February. However, as it recently turned out, the project's release was delayed for all players without exception.

In an interview with 3DMGame, series producer from Atlus Kazuhisa Wada shared that the team initially aimed to release the remake half a year earlier — in summer 2026. However, the developers needed more time for polishing and bringing the project to perfection.

Comment from the creators

“Regarding the release date: our idea was to deliver the game to fans as early as possible. We planned to release it approximately six months earlier, just in time for summer, but in the end we were unable to meet those deadlines,” Wada noted.
