ATLUS Teases Persona 30th Anniversary Updates Through 2026

ATLUS has unveiled a Persona 30th anniversary website to celebrate its most popular series and promised updates throughout the year. It showcases original artwork by longtime ATLUS artist Shigenori Soejima, fusing all of the previous series protagonists in a stylish tableau. A new teaser trailer for the 30th anniversary was also released. Check it out below!

Beyond the celebration of a well-earned legacy, the website is teasing updates on the series as the year continues. The first Persona (Revelations: Persona in the west) was released in Japan on September 20th, 1996, so key news could be revealed at that time.

Persona has had six mainline games consisting of Persona (1996), Persona 2: Innocent Sin (1999), Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (2000), Persona 3 (2006), Persona 4 (2008), and Persona 5 (2016). All entries feature Japan as its setting, ranging from urban landscapes of Tokyo, island cities, and rural towns. The series features turn-based combat and is known for melding high-school themes with supernatural mystery, with later entries introducing life-simulation elements anchored to passing calendar days.
