1* ''VideoGame/Persona2: Innocent Sin'' [[http://www.siliconera.com/2010/10/26/persona-2-innocent-sin-remake-bound-for-psp/ is finally getting a remake]], and it's [[http://www.atlus.com/persona2/ confirmed for localization]]. The fandom EXPLODED.
2** Three words: ''User generated quests''. It gets better: the Climax Theater's "Persona Thief" quest is set in [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIf Karukozaka High School]]. The game was already really popular amongst the fandom, now it's a ''friggin' must-have''.
3** Aand [[http://www.siliconera.com/2012/02/28/persona-2-eternal-punishment-coming-to-psp-with-new-scenario/ Eternal Punishment remake with extra scenario]] also makes fandom explode. Here's a hoping for translation.
4* ''VideoGame/Persona3'' coming out for the PSP? ...with a girl version? AND ROMANTIC SOCIAL LINKS WITH AKIHIKO AND SHINJIRO? AND AN EQUALLY ATTRACTIVE {{GENDER FLIP}}PED ELIZABETH? And the fangirls rejoiced.
5* A wham announcement by Atlus: ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' remake for VITA! Featuring new character Marie and a lot more features.
6** [[http://www.gamespot.com/articles/persona-4-confirmed-for-ps3-releases-on-april-8-for-10/1100-6418792/ Yay]], ''P4'' is being ported to the [=PS3=]! [[note]]Boo, it's not the Golden version.[[/note]]
7** But that pales in comparison of the announcement of ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'', a ''fighting'' Persona 4 game, which is a direct sequel of Persona 4 (taking 2 Months after it), features ''VideoGame/Persona3'' characters (thus far Aigis confirmed), but best of all...'''[[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Made]] [[VideoGame/BlazBlue by]] Creator/ArcSystemWorks!!''' Not only that, console versions will also receive a VideoGame/BlazBlue-style story mode, so it's not just pure brawler unlike the previous attempt with VideoGame/SengokuBasara (Cross)! ''[[Webcomic/{{Hiimdaisy}} Awwwwww yeah...]]''
8** And to make more rejoicing, add the two other fan-favorite from ''VideoGame/Persona3'', Akihiko Sanada and Mitsuru Kirijo, all in [[WalkingShirtlessScene new]] [[SpyCatsuit design]] which can count as a FanservicePack already.
9** Plus, Elizabeth anyone?
10** ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'' gets an UpdatedRerelease! Featuring Shadow Modes, and returning characters [[VideoGame/Persona3 Yukari and --]] '''[[VideoGame/Persona3 TA-DA-DA-DAAA! JUNPEI HAS JOINED THE BATTLE!]]'''
11*** Said UpdatedRerelease is actually A SEQUEL!
12*** It's coming for [=PS3=] in 2014. And the trailer for it has a stinger that reveals... '''ADACHI IS GONNA BE BACK!!'''
13*** Ken and Koromaru are playable as a single character, with Ken in particular having received a redesign that [[{{Bishonen}} REALLY]] [[ShesAllGrownUp shows off his growth]]. Also, Rise is PromotedToPlayable.
14*** Importers and Europeans rejoice: ''Ultimax'' will NOT be region locked like its predecessor was.
15* With all the hype surrounding ''VideoGame/Persona4'' (movies, updated rereleases, sequels) the ''VideoGame/Persona3'' fans were somewhat sad that ''3'' was being neglected. And then came TheStinger at the end of ''4'''s movie - the calendar rewinds two years, and ''a shot of the previous game's protagonist appears.'' The fandom completely ''lost it.''
16* ''VideoGame/Persona5'' has entered development.
17** During a Persona streaming event, Atlus announced [[VideoGame/PersonaQShadowOfTheLabyrinth a P3/P4 spin-off title]] for 3DS and a ''VideoGame/Persona4'' [[VideoGame/Persona4DancingAllNight dancing rhythm game]] for Vita. This resulted in mass DarthWiki/RuinedFOREVER comments from the fanbase until at the end of the stream, a one-minute teaser for ''VideoGame/Persona5'' revealed that the game would be coming next year to [=PS3=], resulting in ''colossal'' celebration from the fanbase.
18** And now the gameplay trailer has dropped, ''completely'' smashing any fears that this game would be too much like the cash cow that was Persona 4. The main characters are teen delinquent master thieves, the game's style is phenomenal, and ''demons'' appear to be returning. The hype is very, very real!
19** The Tokyo Tower Livestream reveals not one, but '''THREE''' new female party members (and a currently unknown male party member), features combat footage, and most importantly '''gives us a release date'''. Persona 5 comes out in Japan on September 15, 2016.
20** The English voice cast has been announced... and '''[[Creator/XanderMobus XANDER MOBUS]]''' is voicing the main protagonist! Holy shit!
21* ''VideoGame/Persona5DancingInStarlight''? Yeah, OK, whatever, the milk train for ''Persona 5'' has begun -- wait a friggin' minute... is that the ''Persona 3'' protagonist on my recommended videos list? ''VideoGame/Persona3DancingInMoonlight''? HOLY SHIT! HOOOOOOOOLY SHIIIT!!! THEY'RE BACK! SEES IS BACK! P3 PROTAG IS BACK!!! BOOOOOOOOYAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
22* ''VideoGame/PersonaQShadowOfTheLabyrinth'' is getting a sequel! Shut up and take my money!
23** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXEszdgk3fo A trailer]] was released on 4 August. SEES, the Investigation Team, AND the Phantom Thieves are appearing together! But wait there's more...''Persona 3 Portable''[='s=] Female Protagonist is coming too!
24* It's been confirmed that one of the 20 preloaded games on the Playstation Classic will be the original ''VideoGame/{{Persona 1}}''!
25* Man the Game Awards have been kinda dull this ye-hey wait why's the screen going red? ''[[Videogame/Persona5 Persona 5]]''!? What's this talk about treasure and being invited? '''OH MY FUCKING GOD JOKER'S GONNA BE IN [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate SMASH BROS]]!!!'''
26* ''Persona 5'' is getting a big re-release called ''Persona 5 Royal'' (The Royal in Japan)! Reformatted for [=PS4=] with Pro support with better looking graphics, brand new character Kasumi Yoshizawa, new area Kichijoji, another semester of school (allowing for more Confidant time), super moves and combo moves, HUMAN MORGANA?! Coming Halloween in Japan, 2020 in the rest of the world.
27** Fans have been particularly excited to see [[spoiler: Goro Akechi, in his "[[EvilWearsBlack Black Mask]]" outfit, and using Loki, as a playable character]] suggesting that ''Royal'' will address the complaints about the original's ending.
28* Ever wanted a ''Persona'' ActionRPG? Well say hello to ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyaRQnfQ9Dg Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers]]'', a collaborative effort between Atlus and Omega Force, the people behind the ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' games! And it'll be available for both [=PlayStation 4=] and ''Nintendo Switch!''
29** For the Early Purchase Bonus DLC, the game will feature Battles Themes from the previous ''Persona'' games...including a refined version of the Battle Theme of the original ''[[VideoGame/Persona1 Revelations: Persona]]'' for the Platform/PlayStation 1! Holy crap!
30** After nearly a year, ''Persona 5 Strikers'' is finally getting an English release... and a Steam port.
31*** A mild one, but ''Strikers'' accomplishes what people have wanted for years. [[spoiler: They let Ryuji say "Fuck"]].
32* ''Persona 4 Golden'' is getting a '''''PC PORT!!!!!! WITH DUAL AUDIO?! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!'''''
33* ''Persona 4 Golden'' is finally to Xbox, along with ''Persona 5 Royal''... '''''AND PERSONA 3 PORTABLE''''' (with 3 and 4 getting [=PS4=] ports and 3 and 5 getting PC ports as well, and 5 getting a Platform/PlayStation5 upgrade as well)!
