Persona 3 Portable & Persona 4 Golden ports are set to release on January 19, 2023
Atlus has announced the release dates for the upcoming remasters of Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden. The titles originally came out on the PlayStation Portable and Vita respectively, but both of them will make their way to PS4, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on January 19, 2023.
The announcement was made first at the "Persona Super Live P-Sound Wish 2022" concert held earlier today in Japan. Atlus has been known to slip in some game-related announcements to the live concerts. But for the 2022 edition, the company released a notice stating that there would be no game announcements. Following today's release date announcements for the ports, the notice was clearly intended to temper fans' expectations for a new mainline entry in the series.
The Persona series' 25th Anniversary webpage has also been updated so that the release date confirmations for P4G & P3P fill the last announcement slot that was scheduled for Autumn 2022.
The P3P & P4G remasters were revealed together with the multiplatform ports of Persona 5 Royal at last June's Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase 2022. but while the P5R ports have an instantly-revealed release date on October 21 this year, the other two remasters were only listed as "Coming Soon" until today.
Find the source tweet from the Japanese official Twitter account for the Persona series right below. The Persona 3 and 4 ports will be available on PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store. As a reminder, Persona 4 Golden has been available on Steam since June 2020. Atlus revealed one year later that the latter had sold over 1 million units.
