Overview
- Kazuhisa Wada, who spoke to GamerBraves on Monday, said he personally believes remakes of Persona 1 and the Persona 2 duology "have to be" done, though he did not announce any projects.
- All three outlets reporting the interview noted that Wada's remark is an expression of personal intent rather than an official Atlus confirmation or studio greenlight.
- Atlus is publicly focused on Persona 4 Revival and the recently announced Persona 6, which analysts say makes immediate work on PS1-era remakes unlikely.
- Journalists and analysts warn that Persona 1 and Persona 2 differ sharply from the modern Persona formula in mechanics and tone, creating design, narrative, and quality-of-life challenges for any remake.
- Wada's track record leading Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Royal gives his comment weight, and fan interest plus earlier suspicious merchandise listings have kept demand visible even though formal plans remain unconfirmed.
