Renowned *Persona* YouTuber ScrambledFaz stirred excitement by sharing a screenshot on X, highlighting that the domain "p4re.jp" was registered on March 20th. Interestingly, "p3re.jp" was registered just months before the announcement of *Persona 3*'s remake. This has sparked speculation among fans that a *Persona 4* remake might be in the works.
Originally released in 2008 for PlayStation 3 and 4, *Persona 4* saw an enhanced version with *Persona 4 Golden* in 2012, fully ported to PlayStation Vita and PC. *Persona 4 Golden* boasted updated graphics and additional content, including a new town and the beloved character Marie.
However, *Persona 4 Golden* isn't classified as a full remake, much like *Persona 3 Portable*. The 2009 PSP version introduced a new protagonist and Theodore in the Velvet Room, yet it doesn't compare to the comprehensive overhaul seen in *Persona 3: Reload*.
Should a *Persona 4* remake match the quality of *Persona 3 Reload*, fans have much to look forward to. The charming 2008 graphics of *Persona 4* would receive a modern update, featuring refreshed character portraits and enhanced animations in cut scenes.
Expect an enriched experience with additional side quests and deeper character interactions, enhancing the social link system. *Persona 4 Golden* introduced Okina City, offering leisure activities like visiting the cinema or a coffee shop. A remake could further expand the city's depth and activities.

In 2024, a credible Sega leaker confirmed that a *Persona 4* remake is indeed in development. However, fans should brace for a wait. If we follow the timeline of *Persona 3: Reload*, an announcement might surface as early as June, mirroring its reveal at the Xbox Summer Showcase in June 2023.
Atlus has been dropping hints about *Persona 6* for years, yet nearly a decade after *Persona 5*, a release date remains elusive. Rumors of a *Persona 4* remake have sparked concerns among fans that it might further delay *Persona 6*, which is already rumored to be in development. Some argue that *Persona 4* doesn't need a remake, but if it happens, fans hope it won't significantly impact *Persona 6*'s timeline.
And that's the latest on the possibility of *Persona 4* being remade as *Persona 4 Reload*.
