2024 is shaping up to be an extraordinary year for fans of the Persona series, with Sega planning to release not one, but two new titles in the renowned role-playing game franchise.

Sega's Chief Operating Officer, Shuji Utsumi, in a conversation with CNBC, subtly revealed this exciting development as he confirmed that two new Persona games are scheduled for release next year. This announcement has understandably generated considerable excitement within the gaming community, as players eagerly anticipate what's next for the beloved series.

The Persona series, known for its unique blend of life simulation and dungeon-crawling elements, has built a dedicated and, admittedly, massive following since its inception. The series' ability to combine compelling narratives with deeply engaging gameplay has not only earned it critical acclaim but also a passionate fan base. The news of two upcoming titles in 2024 amplifies the anticipation, especially considering the franchise's track record of delivering immersive and thought-provoking experiences.

Persona 6 could be the game that helps the series break into the mainstream market.

One of the anticipated titles is Persona 3 Reload, which is already known to be part of the 2024 lineup. This game, which is a reimagining or enhancement of the classic Persona 3, promises to bring the beloved story and characters to a new generation of gamers, potentially with updated graphics and gameplay mechanics. The second title, however, remains more mysterious. While Utsumi's remarks were somewhat vague, speculation is heavy about what it could be. Some are saying this could be the long-awaited Persona 6, a continuation of the mainline series, which would undoubtedly be a monumental release for both Sega and Atlus, the developer behind the series.
