ATLUS is arguably most known for the landmark title 'Persona 5' and its remaster 'Persona 5 Royal,' and has now begun introducing these new fans to its older library of titles through the release of high-profile remakes and remasters that now nearly span the entire Persona series. As of now, there is no confirmed release date for the Persona 2 or Persona 4 Golden remakes. However, early reports indicate that the games will receive improved audio and visuals, quality-of-life improvements, and additional content over the original titles.
