A mysterious video claiming to showcase a remake of Persona 1 for Xbox and PC has surfaced, igniting speculation among fans about its authenticity. The two-minute clip, uploaded by YouTuber "P1REMAKE," features gameplay footage, combat, and dialogue reminiscent of modern Persona titles.
The video includes a montage of characters exploring a school filled with monsters, a visual-novel-style cutscene, and turn-based combat. Notably, the UI displays Xbox controller buttons, suggesting a potential release on Xbox and PC.2
Despite its professional appearance, some believe the video could be a fan-made fake or an internal pitch, as Atlus has not yet addressed its existence. “At this point, I can’t say for sure,” said Persona 4 Revival producer Kazuhisa Wada when asked about remakes of earlier titles. “But personally, I think it’s something we should definitely do.”47
The original Persona game, released in 1996, has largely been overshadowed by its more popular successors. Fans are eager for remakes of Persona 1 and 2, which differ significantly in tone and gameplay from later entries. “It’d be cool to see remakes of Persona 1 and 2 finally happen,” one fan noted.5
As anticipation builds, many hope Atlus will reveal more about the potential remake at upcoming events like the Game Awards or Xbox Games Showcase.
“The two-minute clip uses assets and animations from Persona 3 Reload, suggesting it may be an internal pitch rather than actual gameplay. Producer Kazuhisa Wada previously said of Persona and 2 remakes: "I think we have to do it," though Persona 4 Revival is slated for February 18, 2027.”
