2021 marks the 25th anniversary of the Persona franchise, and a milestone for one of the most beloved JRPG franchises around. It seems like series developer Atlus is teasing some big news to mark the occasion, with 7 announcements teased for the series.
Series developer Atlus announced via Twitter that it is preparing reveals to coincide with the anniversary, and a 25th anniversary site includes mention of seven announcements to be made over the course of the next year, with the first happening sometime in September.
The Persona series is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this September! ✨

Several more announcements will follow over the next year, with the final one scheduled for Autumn 2022. Given that the tweet came from both Atlus and Atlus West (Atlus’s western marketing arm of the company), whatever gets announced feels likely to find its way over here. Hopefully that will be without the year-long wait we’ve had for some titles like Persona 5 Strikers.
It should be noted that often these anniversary announcements don’t lead to anything beyond new merchandise releasing, but the fact that the company are teasing seven announcements suggests that there could be something significant beyond the usual merch drops. However, there is of course an obligatory link to a pre-order site for Persona related goods if you want to get your hands on assorted keyrings and mugs starring the various protagonists and mascots of the Persona series.
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/19/persona-5-strikers-launch-trailer"]The last Persona games to launch were Persona 5 Royal (released in 2020 in the west) and Persona 5 Strikers (released earlier this year), both spin-offs from Persona 5, the latest mainline entry in the long running franchise. Persona 4 Golden was also finally unshackled from its PlayStation Vita home and ported to PC in 2020 (which led to fans demanding it come to Switch as well).
Are you excited by the potential for more Persona outings? And would you want to see more outings with Joker and the gang, or a sixth mainline entry be announced?
