A Persona 4 remake may finally be on the horizon after what appears to be ATLUS registering a new website, p4re.jp. This has sparked a wave of speculation about the potential title—whether it will be Persona 4 Record, Rerun, or something entirely different—following the remastered Golden version.
The domain registration was filed just a few hours ago in Japan, with the listing secured for a year. This is huge news for Persona fans, as a similar pattern occurred with previous entries—most notably when ATLUS registered p3re.jp just two years ago. Three months later, Persona 3 Reload was officially announced.
The Remake Is Real
Of course, this remains speculation, but given ATLUS' track record, this strongly suggests that a Persona 4 remake is in development. Adding to the evidence, Persona 4’s main vocalist, Shihoko Hirata, was previously spotted recording at an ATLUS studio, fueling rumors of a new project. If we connect the dots, this could be a significant reveal.
It’s about time ATLUS revisited Persona 4, considering the game is nearly two decades old. With Unreal Engine at their disposal, we could see a beautifully reimagined Inaba and a fresh take on everyone’s favorite Murder Mystery Gang.

Either way, this all but confirms that an official Persona 4 remake reveal could be imminent. Perhaps at this month’s Summer Game Fest? Or maybe during the highly anticipated Switch 2 Direct?
