'I Think We Have to Do It' — Atlus Producer Says Persona 1 and 2 Remakes Are 'Something We Should Definitely Do'
Kazuhisa Wada said the first two Persona games are not confirmed for remake, but Atlus sees strong demand and would need years to modernize them.
- In an interview with GamerBraves, Atlus Persona producer Kazuhisa Wada expressed interest in remaking the first two games, stating, "I think it's something we should definitely do."
- Both games are well over 20 years old, with Persona 1 celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, while existing PSP ports are now roughly 15 years old.
- With Persona 4 Revival releasing next year and Persona 3 Reload achieving commercial success in 2024, Atlus has demonstrated strong demand for modernized JRPG installments.
- Significant development work would be required to modernize the titles, meaning fans would likely face a wait of at least a few years for potential releases.
- Addressing fan concerns about narrative changes, Wada confirmed that character personalities will remain intact, emphasizing, "Personalities that everyone is worried about have not been removed or nerfed.
