Studio MAPPA to Animate All Persona 4 Revival In-Game Cutscenes
Atlus announced on Saturday that Studio MAPPA will produce all of the animated cutscenes for Persona 4 Revival, the upcoming remake of the 2008 role-playing game. The news came during Anime Expo 2026 alongside two new character videos featuring the protagonist and Rise Kujikawa. Atlus also confirmed that Abby Trott will voice Rise in the English dub, part of a new English voice cast for the game. The remake is set to launch on February 18, 2027, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox PC with Xbox Game Pass, and PC via Steam. Pre-orders are open now. The original Persona 4 was released for PlayStation 2 in 2008 and later received an enhanced port, Persona 4 Golden, for PlayStation Vita in 2011. The new version is described as a distinct reimagining separate from Golden. The animation director reportedly played Persona 1 through Persona 4 before beginning work on the cutscenes. Persona 3 Reload, the previous Atlus remake, launched in February 2024 and featured animation from a different studio.
