It retells the same story: a transfer student spends a school year in the rural town of Inaba, where he and his friends enter a world inside the TV to rescue people from a serial killer before the fog rolls in. Atlus keeps the original storyline as it is and Golden's additions, Marie first among them, and rebuilds everything around it in Unreal Engine: every Social Link fully voiced, new seasonal events, Location Episodes with a new face, Aika Nakamura, four new battle mechanics, a 3D Okina City, rearranged music and new anime cutscenes by MAPPA. This viki covers Revival as Atlus and dated previews describe it, as of Nov 3, 2026, and the evergreen core underneath it: Persona 4 Golden's story, calendar, Social Links, dungeons, bosses, exam answers and fusion.

What is Persona 4 Revival?

It is the second of Atlus's modern Persona remakes, after Persona 3 Reload in February 2024, and the first to remake an expanded edition. Persona 3 Reload rebuilt the original Persona 3 and sold its FES epilogue later as DLC; Revival remakes Persona 4 Golden, the 2012 Vita version that added Marie, new Social Links, new events and a new ending to the 2008 PS2 game. Kazuhisa Wada, who leads the project as Director at P-Studio, said Marie's story was "so inherent to the main story" that it could not be split off, and that after Reload it was time to put all the effort into a full remake.

The official site pitches it as the perfect starting point for newcomers to the series, and SEGA Japan lists enhanced graphics, UI, combat and cutscenes with quality-of-life improvements and added content. The team kept the game in its own era rather than moving it to the present, because the CRT televisions and the switch to digital broadcasting are part of the story. Wada said the original's themes resonate even more strongly today. It runs on Unreal Engine, which the team first used for Persona 3 Reload; Atlus has not named the version.

Revival was announced with a teaser at the Xbox Games Showcase on Jun 8, 2025 and dated a year later at the next showcase, alongside the announcement of Persona 6.

When does Persona 4 Revival come out?

On Feb 18, 2027 worldwide on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC and Steam, and on Switch 2 on May 20, 2027. No launch hour had been announced as of Nov 3, 2026: the US PlayStation Store lists Feb 18 at 05:00 UTC, which is midnight Eastern, and Steam shows Feb 17, as Persona 3 Reload's page showed a day early too. There is no early access with any edition and no pre-load date yet. Everything about the date, the hour and its history is on Persona 4 Revival Release Date. The clip is the end of Atlus's Jul 2026 story recap, which gives the date and the platforms.

It is a current-generation game only: no PS4, Xbox One or original Switch version is listed. It is on Game Pass from day one with Xbox Play Anywhere. The Steam page still reads "TBD" for the PC requirements as of Nov 3, 2026, and the PC version uses Denuvo. Voices are in English and Japanese, with text in 15 languages. See Persona 4 Revival Platforms and PC Requirements.

Editions and price

The Standard Edition costs $69.99, £64.99 or €69.99, the Digital Deluxe $84.99 and the Digital Premium $99.99, as of Nov 3, 2026. The upgrades add the Velvet Outfit Set, 12 Personas from Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Royal, and, in Premium, costume sets and both games' music packs. The physical, console-only Collector's Edition, at $249.99 or £244.99, adds a statue of the protagonist with Izanagi, an artbook and a SteelBook, among other things. Every pre-order made by Feb 17, 2027 at 23:59 gets the P3R & P5R Extra BGM Set of six tracks. Every edition, by region and currency, is on Persona 4 Revival Editions and Price.

What's new in Persona 4 Revival?

Atlus's own list of changes, from its Japanese site and interviews:

  • Full voice acting: the main story, every Social Link and the new events, all newly recorded.
  • New events: seasonal events, and scenes that show more of each character.
  • Location Episodes: tour Inaba with Aika Nakamura, a character from Persona 4: The Animation, and collect photos of the town's past to give to friends for special memory scenes. She is not a Social Link, Atlus West clarified on Sep 25, 2026.
  • Marie, Golden's addition, is in, with a more natural entrance from the beginning.
  • Exploration: Inaba with camera control, and Okina City explorable in 3D.
  • Dungeons: the procedural corridors stay, with a glowing guide path and smashable objects that restore SP, per previews.
  • Presentation: full-proportion character models, a TV-themed interface, and new anime cutscenes by MAPPA.
  • Dialogue: modernized, with unclear lines rewritten; the characters' personalities unchanged.
  • No Yosuke romance: Wada said it would mean adding one for every male character.

What Atlus has not done is list Golden's other extras item by item. The winter epilogue, Adachi's Jester link, the beach and the ski trip are implied by "a full remake of Persona 4 Golden" but not named as of Nov 3, 2026. The full list, with a table against Golden, is on What's New in Persona 4 Revival.

Battle system

The fights are Persona 4's: hit a Shadow's weakness to knock it down for "1 More," knock every enemy down for an All-Out Attack, and fuse new Personas in the Velvet Room. Revival adds four mechanics, as Atlus describes them: The clip is Atlus's Jul 2026 broadcast clip of Revival's battles.

Mechanic What it does
Guard Action Guard a Shadow's attack in the dungeon to stun it, then strike first or slip past
Send Flying Hit a Shadow suffering an ailment to knock it into another, spreading the ailment
Baton Pass Hand a 1 More to an ally to hit a different enemy's weakness
Prime Time A full gauge gives consecutive free turns that ignore resistances, ending in the finisher Series Finale

In RPG Site's August 2026 preview, Prime Time lasted up to 4 turns and ended with a finisher by a party member you choose; Wada said in July the new options were still being balanced. See Persona 4 Revival Battle System, and Persona 4 Combat for Golden's system in full.

Voice cast

The English cast is new, led by Nazeeh Tarsha as the protagonist, Paul Castro Jr. as Yosuke, Anne Yatco as Chie, Brianna Knickerbocker as Yukiko and Ari Thrash as Marie, with Daman Mills as Kanji, Abby Trott as Rise, Laila Berzins as Teddie and Amber Lee Connors as Naoto. The one returning English actor is Johnny Yong Bosch, as Adachi; in the earlier games he also voiced the protagonist. Atlus said some of the former cast were unavailable or had left the industry, and Wada said the team decided to start over with a whole new cast. The Japanese cast largely returns, led by Daisuke Namikawa. The protagonist still speaks mainly in battle. Every announced role, in both languages, is on Persona 4 Revival Voice Cast.

Music

Ryota Kozuka of the Atlus Sound Team rearranges Shoji Meguro's Persona 4 soundtrack and adds new songs, with vocals by Shiori Sasaki. Every vocal and battle track is rearranged. The new advantage battle theme, "Prime Time Golden Hour Show," has streamed since Aug 29, 2026, and Rise's "True Story - Revival," sung by Rie Kugimiya, since Sep 19, 2026. The four-CD Original Soundtrack comes out on Feb 18, 2027. See Persona 4 Revival Music. In the clip, from Atlus's Sep 19, 2026 broadcast, Kozuka describes the rearranged and new tracks and introduces Sasaki.

What previews say

Nobody has reviewed the finished game as of Nov 3, 2026. Three English-language outlets played about an hour of a pre-release build in August and September 2026, covering the opening and Yukiko's Castle, and all three were positive: RPG Site called it already a confident and stylish remake, PC Gamer said it feels as good as the original did 16 years earlier, and GamesRadar+ called it "the best-looking Persona game to date." Japan has a short demo in stores from Nov 14 to Dec 13, 2026; there is no demo for home consoles or PC. Each preview, and every trailer with its date, is on Persona 4 Revival Previews.

Persona 4 and Persona 4 Golden

Revival is built on two earlier games. Persona 4 came out on PlayStation 2 in Japan on Jul 10, 2008 and in North America on Dec 9, 2008, as Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4, where it holds a Metacritic 90. Persona 4 Golden expanded it for the PS Vita, out in North America on Nov 20, 2012, with a Metacritic 93, then reached Steam on Jun 13, 2020 and PS4, Xbox and Switch on Jan 19, 2023. Golden is still on sale on Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch for $19.99, which Where to Play Persona 4 lists, and it takes about 68 hours for the main story per HowLongToBeat as Game Rant cited it in 2022; see How Long to Beat Persona 4. Atlus has said Revival keeps the story as it is, so the guides below are written for Persona 4 Golden and are expected to hold for Revival only where Atlus says so; no Revival walkthrough can exist before Feb 18, 2027. The clip is IGN's 2012 review of Persona 4 Golden on Vita.

Story and calendar

Persona 4 Story tells the plot in order, with a spoiler warning before the late game. The game runs on a day-by-day calendar from April to Mar 20 of the next year, with fog deadlines for each rescue, school exams and fixed story days; Persona 4 Calendar lays it out month by month. Golden has several bad endings, a normal ending, the true ending and the Golden ending, decided by choices on Dec 3 and Dec 5 and on the last day; Persona 4 Endings gives the exact answers, with spoilers on top.

Persona 4 Golden has 23 Social Links, one for each arcana, from the Investigation Team's Fool to Marie's Aeon. Ranking one up strengthens fused Personas of its arcana, and maxing it lets you fuse that arcana's strongest Persona. Seven can become romances. In Revival every link is fully voiced and, Wada and art director Akane Kabayashi said, largely unchanged. Persona 4 Social Links has the full table, with a page for each: the party's Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko, Kanji, Rise, Teddie and Naoto; the family's Dojima and Nanako; the Velvet Room's Margaret and Marie; and the town's Kou and Daisuke, Ai, Yumi and Ayane, Naoki, Hisano, Eri, Sayoko, Shu and the Fox, plus the Investigation Team, Judgement and Golden's Jester. Many links need a high social stat to start or advance; Social Stats covers raising Knowledge, Courage, Diligence, Understanding and Expression. The clip is Atlus's Jun 18, 2026 broadcast on Revival's Social Links and their new voice acting.

Dungeons and bosses

Each rescue is a dungeon inside the TV, built from the captive's inner self, that must be cleared before the fog arrives. In Golden's order: Yukiko's Castle, Steamy Bathhouse, Marukyu Striptease, Void Quest, Secret Laboratory, Heaven, Magatsu Inaba and the true final dungeon, Yomotsu Hirasaka, plus Golden's bonus Hollow Forest. Persona 4 Dungeons is the hub, with deadlines and recommended levels; Persona 4 Bosses lists every boss's weaknesses, and Optional Bosses covers the Reaper and Margaret. Revival keeps the procedurally generated corridors, and Wada picked Heaven and Yukiko's Castle as the dungeons that benefit most from new hardware.

Exam answers

Persona 4 Golden asks the protagonist questions in class and sets midterms and finals on fixed dates; right answers raise Knowledge. Persona 4 Golden Exam Answers gives every classroom question and exam answer by date. The PS2 game's questions differ, and Revival's are unknown.

Personas and fusion

The protagonist alone holds the Wild Card and can carry many Personas, fused in the Velvet Room from two or more others. Persona Fusion explains normal and special fusions, skill inheritance and the Social Link bonus; Best Personas collects the editorial picks; and Izanagi-no-Okami covers the strongest Persona and its 12-Persona fusion. The Velvet Room page covers Igor, Margaret and Marie, and Persona 4 Beginner Tips gathers advice for a first run. Revival keeps fusion in the Velvet Room, and its Deluxe Edition adds Personas from Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Royal. The clip is Atlus's Jul 2026 broadcast clip on Revival's Personas and Velvet Room fusion.

Characters

The protagonist moves to Inaba for a year to live with his uncle, the police detective Ryotaro Dojima, and his cousin Nanako; the player names him, and the anime and later media call him Yu Narukami. His friends form the Investigation Team: Yosuke Hanamura, Chie Satonaka, Yukiko Amagi, Kanji Tatsumi, Rise Kujikawa, Teddie and Naoto Shirogane. Dojima's partner is Tohru Adachi, and the Velvet Room holds Igor, Margaret and Golden's Marie. Persona 4 Characters has them all in one table with their arcana, Personas and Revival voices, and the Protagonist page covers Izanagi and the Wild Card. The clip is Atlus's Jun 30, 2026 Revival clip introducing the protagonist, Yosuke and Chie.

The Persona series

The Persona series has sold over 30 million units, SEGA said on Jun 7, 2026, the same night it announced Persona 6, which Wada said is planned for after Revival and which has no date. Persona 4 grew its own family: two fighting games, Persona 4 Arena and Arena Ultimax; the dungeon crawler Persona Q; the rhythm game Persona 4: Dancing All Night; Persona 4: The Animation; and a stage play. Wada said the spin-offs informed how Revival writes its characters, especially Yosuke and Kanji. See Persona Series in Order and Persona 4 Spin-offs.

Battle and Fusion Guides

  • Best Personas

    The strongest Persona in Persona 4 Golden is Izanagi-no-Okami, a New Game Plus fusion; on a first run TheGamer picks Yoshitsune, Surt, Loki, Thor, Odin, Daisoujou, Alice and Helel as the best for each element, and each party member's ultimate Persona comes from a maxed Social Link.

  • Izanagi-no-Okami

    Izanagi-no-Okami is the strongest Persona in Persona 4 Golden, a level 91 World arcana Persona you can fuse only in New Game Plus after the True Ending, from twelve Personas including Norn from a maxed Naoto link.

  • Persona 4 Combat

    Persona 4 Golden's battles are turn-based: hit an enemy's weakness to knock it down and earn 1 More, knock every enemy down for an All-Out Attack, and strike first from behind. Persona 4 Revival keeps that core and adds Guard Action, Send Flying, Baton Pass and Prime Time.

  • Persona Fusion

    In Persona 4 Golden you fuse two or more Personas into a new one in the Velvet Room, capped at your own level, passing on some skills and gaining bonus EXP from the matching Social Link. Persona 4 Revival keeps Velvet Room fusion, Atlus says.

  • Velvet Room

    The Velvet Room in Persona 4 Golden is where Igor fuses Personas, Margaret keeps the Compendium and makes Persona requests for her Empress Social Link, and Marie, new to Golden, handles Skill Cards. Persona 4 Revival keeps it, with Marie in from the start.

Dungeon Guides

    Heaven is the sixth dungeon of Persona 4 Golden, open from Nov 6 with a Nov 20 deadline: 10 floors, the World Balance midboss on floor 7 and Kunino-sagiri on floor 10, at level 60 or more. Persona 4 Revival's director named it one of the two dungeons that gain most from modern hardware.

  • Hollow Forest

    The Hollow Forest is the bonus dungeon added in Persona 4 Golden, opened by maxing Marie's Aeon Social Link in December and played on one day, Feb 13: 10 floors with no items, no armor and SP halved after every battle, ending in two back-to-back fights with Marie. Revival keeps Marie, but Atlus has not said whether the forest is unchanged.

  • Magatsu Inaba

    Magatsu Inaba is the seventh dungeon of Persona 4 Golden, opened by naming the culprit on Dec 5 and finished before Christmas, with Magatsu Mandala below it and two final fights at about level 70 to 75. Atlus has not said what Persona 4 Revival changes in it.

  • Persona 4 Bosses

    Every boss in Persona 4 Golden in story order, from Shadow Yosuke to the true final boss, with each one's dungeon, weaknesses, resistances and recommended level, plus the optional bosses. Atlus has not published Persona 4 Revival's boss list.
