Atlus and SEGA used Nintendo's September 9, 2026 Nintendo Direct to confirm that both Persona 4 Revival and the upcoming Persona 6 will appear on the Nintendo Switch 2.
The announcement positions two of the Persona franchise’s most anticipated entries on Nintendo’s next-generation hybrid hardware, and provides a concrete release date for the long-awaited remake.

During the Nintendo Direct broadcast, SEGA’s press materials and Atlus’ presentation confirmed Persona 4 Revival will launch for Nintendo Switch 2 on May 20, 2027.
Persona 6 was shown as coming to the platform as well, though Atlus supplied only an outline of the project rather than a release window.
What Atlus and SEGA announced (rewritten statements)
Atlus and SEGA described Persona 6 as the next full entry in the long-running series, promising the franchise’s trademark mix of everyday life simulation and supernatural combat anchored by a new, standalone narrative and a new cast of characters.
The companies emphasized the title is intended to welcome both series veterans and newcomers.
For Persona 4 Revival, Atlus characterized the game as a modernized remake of the original Persona 4, updating the classic RPG for current hardware while retaining its central mystery-driven story set in the rural town of Inaba.
The publisher reiterated that players will assume the role of a transfer student who joins the Investigation Team to solve a string of murders linked to the Midnight Channel; the remake will deliver this experience with contemporary production values on Nintendo Switch 2.
