Persona 4 Remake Rumors Intensify After New 'p4re' Domain Registration by Atlus

The Persona series, one of the most celebrated JRPG franchises developed by Atlus, saw a major breakthrough in 2006 with the release of Persona 3.

Since then, the series has continued its rapid ascent, achieving notable commercial and critical success—particularly with Persona 5, which became a global phenomenon.

Atlus, now under SEGA’s umbrella, further expanded the Persona universe with the launch of Persona 3 Reload in 2023, a high-definition remake that achieved strong sales worldwide and reinforced the franchise’s momentum. Recently, fervor around a potential Persona 4 Remake has surged after observant fans discovered the registration of the “p4re” Japanese web domain.

This finding is significant in the context of Atlus’s previous marketing strategies: ahead of Persona 3 Reload’s announcement, the “p3re” domain was similarly registered, ultimately heralding the official reveal.

While Atlus has not issued an official statement, industry watchers are noting the clear pattern, with many regarding the “p4re” domain as an early indicator that a remake of Persona 4 could be on the horizon. In a recent post relayed across social media, it was highlighted that the “p4re.jp” domain emerged just hours ago, echoing the sequence of events leading up to unveiling Persona 3 Reload.

As reported by prominent Persona community members, this discovery aligns with the established approach Atlus has taken for marketing its remakes, further fueling speculation within the gaming community. For Nintendo fans, this development holds particular importance.

While Persona games historically launched on PlayStation platforms and, more recently, Xbox, Atlus and SEGA have extended considerable support to Nintendo hardware over the past decade.

The Persona Q spinoffs were exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS, while Persona 5 Strikers and Persona 5 Tactica found homes on Nintendo Switch.

Notably, the Switch saw the debut of Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal, marking the first instance these mainline entries became available on a Nintendo platform. Although Persona 3 Reload has yet to appear on the Nintendo Switch, anticipation remains high that upcoming Nintendo hardware—namely, the rumored Switch 2—will be capable of supporting demanding next-generation ports.

Given Atlus and SEGA’s track record of broadening the franchise’s reach, many industry analysts believe that, should a Persona 4 Remake be officially announced, a Switch 2 version could follow, expanding the series’ presence on Nintendo’s ecosystem. As always, fans are encouraged to stay tuned for confirmed news from Atlus.

For now, the registered 'p4re' domain stands as a promising signal for Persona enthusiasts eager to revisit Inaba in a modernized fashion on current-generation systems, including potential Nintendo platforms.
