Atlus confirms January release for Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden

Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden will release for Xbox consoles (and Game Pass), PS4 and Nintendo Switch on January 19, 2023, Atlus has announced.

It was officially announced in June that the series, which has been missing from Xbox and Nintendo Switch, will release first on the platforms with Persona 5 Royal on October 21.

Persona 5 was first released in Japan in 2016 after a lengthy development cycle. It would later release in the west the next year. Before that, Persona 4 was released in 2008, establishing the long development times between full, numbered sequels.

Persona 5 Royal Remastered will include over 40 DLC packs that were released for the game.

While the majority of the DLC packs are simply costumes, such as being able to dress the Persona 5 cast as characters from across the Persona series, a few of them, such as the Persona Raoul, are more substantial.

Personas are the various attacks that players can use in the game. They function similarly to Pokémon, with players levelling them up and collecting new ones throughout the game.
