SEGA and Atlus have marked a major milestone for the Persona franchise, revealing two high-profile projects—Persona 4 Revival and Persona 6—while announcing that the series has surpassed 30 million copies sold worldwide.
The companies also released new commemorative artwork to thank long-time fans and celebrate the announcement.
Atlus, the long-running developer behind the Persona role-playing games, operates under SEGA following the publisher's acquisition of Atlus’s parent company in the early 2010s.
The Persona brand began as a Shin Megami Tensei spin-off and has grown into one of Atlus’s flagship properties, noted for its blend of life-sim mechanics and turn-based JRPG combat.
In a joint statement, SEGA and Atlus said the franchise has sold more than 30 million units globally and shared fresh artwork as a gesture of appreciation toward fans.
The companies published the images on their official channels alongside the announcement.
The news tip identifying the update was credited to community member SonicGalaxy27.
For context, Persona 4 originally launched on the PlayStation 2 in 2008 and has seen multiple re-releases and ports over the years.
Persona 4 Golden, an expanded edition, first appeared on PlayStation Vita in 2012 and later reached additional platforms as Atlus broadened the series’ availability to PC and modern consoles.
Persona 5 and its expanded release, Persona 5 Royal, further raised the franchise’s international profile after their initial releases on PlayStation platforms.
While SEGA and Atlus confirmed the two new project names and the sales milestone, details on release windows, platform lineups, and publishing plans have not been fully disclosed in the announcement.
Fans should watch official channels—including SEGA and Atlus social accounts and company websites—for formal release information and any future updates that may appear in events such as Nintendo Direct or platform-specific eShop listings.
This development underscores Persona’s steady commercial growth and Atlus’s continued commitment to the series.
Expect further official communications from SEGA and Atlus as development progresses and more specifics become available.
