Atlus has been celebrating the 25th anniversary ofPersonawith a string of announcements going back to September 2021. To help build up excitement for these announcements, Atlus built the Persona 25th Anniversary Project website with graphics for each upcoming reveal. As of April, there were nine total teasers on the website, with four having previously been revealed. A new update to the website appears to have removed two of these graphics, shrinking the total number ofPersonaannouncements left to be made.The Japanese website for thePersona 25th Anniversary Projecthas an image carousel for its upcomingPersonaannouncements. In late April, this website was updated to show nine total announcements to be made. Four had already been made, followed by five mystery announcements. The first panel read “Next Information 2022/6,” followed by 3 “Coming Soon” panels, and then ending with a final panel reading “2022/Autumn.” The website has now removed two of the “Coming Soon” panels.RELATED:Persona 5 is Getting Its Own Slot MachineWhat fans believed the teaser website was indicating was that four announcements were planned to be made in June, followed by a final announcement to be made later this year. That would mean that there are now potentially two fewerPersonaannouncements to be made in June. Whether this is accurate toAtlus' plansor not is unclear, but the website alteration does indicate a change has been made.
There is a twist to the situation, however. When the Persona 25th Anniversary Project website was originally released, it only had seven announcements listed. It stayed that way through April, when theadditional twoPersonaannouncements were surprisingly added. The updated announcement list has remained through May and has now been changed in early June. That could mean that the change was only made in error and it just took this long to get fixed.
Announcements made so far have been somewhat small. For example, Atlus announced a new line ofPersona-related merchandise, sharedPersona 5’s soundtrack on Spotify, and released a special deluxe edition ofPersonasoundtrack CDs. Even when there were several announcements expected, expectations weren’t high that they’d be majorPersonagame announcements.
With that said, this is the time of year when major game announcements are made. Whether it’s one or threePersonaannouncements planned, fans of Atlus' RPG franchise should be excited to see what’s in store. It’s unclear where the nextPersonaannouncement will be made, but with theSummer Game Festabout to begin there will be ample opportunities for some exciting reveals.
