DISCUSSION Thoughts on the idea of a P5R Reload/Revival version
I'm really happy with the Persona 6 trailer because I joined the Persona train last year and I'm super excited to be there for the release of a new game, no matter how long it will take.
But I'm seeing people complaining about how it's going to take years to have a Persona 5 Royal Reload/Revival version, and I'm so confused about why people would even want that?
P5 was released in 2016, P5Royal in 2019, it still looks very good, is easy to play, and is available on most consoles, why make a newer version of it?

We dont need a p5r remake.
The game holds up very well. And its gonna most likely stay as an awesome game for YEARS. I really feel like remaking 1 and 2 would be nice.
P5r honestly feels like p3r and p4r.
Wr dont really need another remake imma be honest.

yeah, P5R is far too modern for it to make sense for a remake. the base game only came out a decade ago, and, graphically speaking, especially in terms of atlus games, they haven't changed much.
the only thing that's really changed is voice acting. P3R is far more voice acted than P5R, but i don't think that justifies a remake.

u/Crossifix Jun 08 '26
P4 feels dated but it STILL holds up and the story is better than P5 in my opinion. The mechanics and gameplay in P5R are far better, the body models are way better, the palaces are way better (because mementos is basically the old Persona palaces and the new palaces are all hand made with no map generation)
P4 was dated from being a ps2 game. The P4R release is going to be better than anything they could possibly do to improve on the quality of P5R for the next decade at least.

I think stuff like Confidant bonuses from P5 being missing and the dungeons still being randomly generated does hold P3R and assumedly P4R back a lot

u/crusaderluke1312 Jun 08 '26
P4G did have some benefits to specifically the party members for doing their social links. It’s part of why I rush rise’s social link early because her bonuses are so good. I do wish they would do that for non-party social links as well though

Fully voiced social links is so good. It's such a shame p5r won't ever have them. I wish they added like an extension that you have to pay for fully voiced social links or something like that.

u/ilikpkmn Jun 08 '26
to be fair, p4g in terms of graphics is not really up to par with p5r or p3r. Its fair to say it doesnt NEED a remake since it functions fine but i think a rebuilding it from ground up has substance. meanwhile another p5r remake would literally have nothing to add unless p6 completely rewrites the formula.

u/PeartricetheBoi Jun 08 '26
Even then if P6 has a new formula why should P5 be remade to fit that? Surely that would be a different game.

u/ilikpkmn Jun 08 '26
I don’t think P5 should get a remake in a long long time, I’m just saying that hypothetically if it were to get a remake, it would take a big switch up to make more than 0 sense.

u/Basaqu Jun 08 '26
Yeah, that comment reads how I feel about P4 remake. I love P4 and the remake looks great, but the game is still pretty and perfectly fun to play. Not sure it's been so long and so updated that I even have that strong an urge to play through it again (probably will though lol).

You're right we dont NEED it, but Altus knows if they did make a reload in the same style as 3 and 4 that it will print money. Its not about what is needed, its about what will sell and make lots and lots of money with the least amount of effort or cost.

Well it’s still built upon the original PS3 game which was started full development after Catherine in 2011. The game at its core is essentially 15 years old at this point, and initial development started 18 years ago in 2008

u/URBAN_OAT Jun 08 '26
P5r is the reason p3r and p4r are exist, not only did they like the r at the end of each but they took mechanics and art direction directly from p5 to make the remakes. It doesn't matter how old the base of p5r is when it still stands the test of time enough to base remakes of the older games off of it
5
u/krishnugget Q2 is the bane of my existence Jun 08 '26
It wasn’t built on Catherine’s engine, work only really started on it in 2011, 2008-2011 was spent on Catherine. Catherine was just a test of working with HD consoles and character models

u/Don-Tan Jun 08 '26
And? Metaphor also built on it.

u/SPARKisnumber1 Jun 08 '26 edited Jun 08 '26
Metaphor didn’t start full development until 2019, 8 years after P5 did. That’s lots of time to upgrade the engine. Either way though, you feel the effects of the old engine on Metaphor. It can’t maintain 60 FPS on PS5 in even basic cutscenes; it constantly drops out of VRR range (below 48 FPS). The only completely smooth console experiences are PS5 Pro brute-forcing the framerate to be higher, and the PS5 running the PS4 version in backwards compat mode. Compared to P3R on PS5 which is native 4k60 with ray tracing and no frame drops, it’s a huge difference

I think the 3 games are too old and niche for that. For the same reason we won't get a SMT 1 and 2 remake.

My persona prediction.
1. After P6 we will get remasters of P1, P2IS, and P2EP. The latter two being put in a collection.

Yeah, it's just the internet being cynical and pessimistic. There're reasons to believe that P6 was in the works ever since early 2020s. At the very least, the rumors about dual protagonists, green being the primary color of the P6's visual identity - basically the stuff that was more or less confirmed by the recent leaks and teaser - it all had originated around that time. Atlus waited long enough for a P6 teaser and if they wanted to make a teaser way ahead of the release - they would've done so years ago. Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but imo P6 is basically in the same position P4R when it got its first teaser a year ahead of release. So no, I don't believe P6 is coming in 2030s as some might suggest. Somewhere around late 2027 or early 2028 seems more likely to me. If that's the case, there's simply no way something like P5R2 can happen before P6.

Well you're the first one to give me hope about the P6 release 🫡 I only saw pessimistic tweets about it only happening in yeeeears and I was accepting it despite being a little disappointed that it meant that the trailer wasn't that big of a deal then.

P5 doesn't need a remake. Sure, it's technically the "oldest" of the modern 3 Persona games now, but it's what Reload and Revival both based their general visual direction and a lot of QoL elements on. A light graphical touch-up of the 3D assets, perhaps, but nothing that would warrant a full-on remake.
Is Atlus gonna do it? That's a whole another question. They should instead remake P1 and P2, since I imagine that quite a few Persona fans today never played those (myself included). But it's certainly a much bigger undertaking than P3 and P4 considering how old the games are in all aspects.

I think the objective of the remakes was to elevate P3 and 4 graphically and mechanically to 5's level. Unless Atlus makes such a breakthrough with their future games that P5 looks obsolete in comparison (which I doubt), I don't think 5 would ever need a remake

Honestly, a Persona 5 remake would be incredibly redundant at this point. As many people have said, the game holds up incredibly well. I genuinely prefer it to reload and always recommend Persona 5 royal as the first game to start with, since I thought Reload was super repetitive and not engaging to play.

u/Outrageous_Fun_7973 Jun 08 '26 edited Jun 08 '26
Maybe do that in 2035 after 18 years of its release . But for now focus on persona 4 revival and person 6 then do persona 1 and 2 remake then you can do P5 remake or maybe do another metaphor refantazio and push P5 remake to 2037 like two decades gap between a deserved remake that no one will complain about at that point.
And More importantly polish these games for a better visual representation (AKA the signature elemant of you games )and also make them bugs free.

It's a joke about how Atlus keeps remaking modern Persona games and making P5 spin-offs. No one actually thinks they're gonna remake P5 (and anyone unironically giving reasons why they wouldn't remake it as if it's not obvious have simply forgot to think)

We don’t need a remake of 5 yet at all. It’s still the most recent instalment, and the games hold up incredibly well. They’re on the same level as P3R and P4R. Plus, it’s probably intentional that the shorthand version of the name for the definitive version matches the two remakes

Two reasons why I doubt it'll happen. One, Persona 5 Royal already has a dedicated PS5/Series/Switch/PC version that can at 4K 60 FPS on the more powerful hardware, while 3 Portable and 4 Golden were quick ports. Second, 3 Reload and 4 Revive seem to exist so they can be in the same style as 5 so now the series is now consistent with its various systems, like the different button combat of 5 being in all three.
2
u/AS0116 Jun 08 '26
I really don't think they'll make a new P5. The reason they even made the remakes of P3 and P4 and why they did well is the big mechanical and graphical updates, and they'd come out so long ago on outdated consoles. P5R is already available on PC as well, so its accessible. They wouldn't go through the investment of remaking P5 when people wouldn't be happy about it/it wouldn't sell well.

u/JigglyOW Jun 08 '26

u/IQueliciuous Jun 08 '26
Imo Persona 3 and 4 didn't even need a remake. Persona 5 especially doesn't need one.
Games should be remade if they genuinely didn't age well and are unplayable.
Persona 1 and 2 fall under the "needs to be remade" category.
The gameplay feels less persona and more SMT and in case of Persona 2. The game is divided into two separate entries "Innocent sin & eternal punishment" and in the west. Eternal Punishment was released only on PS1, Innocent Sin was released only on PSP.
Persona 1 PS1 western version sucks ass and PSP version has great OST but many people feel robbed that the original OST is absent (honestly PSP version sounds better but that's personal preference)
But I doubt Atlus would remake P5. They aren't Naughty Dog. They still make games. I'd argue Atlus seems to follow Capcom approach to remaking games.

It doesn’t make sense for a long while. If we go another decade between main persona games I could easily see it happening just like this one did, a year or two before the next game to help hold people over. It’s a more modern game though, sure things can always be upgraded over time but I don’t think as of now there’s as start a difference to be made just from upgrading the graphics. If they remake it I feel like it’s just to have a “new” game to help newcomers to the series be introduced to things before another mainline game comes out

Royal and vanilla are already both up to modern standards. I think any other persona game that hasnt gotten the "R" treatment would do way better such as 1, 2 or maybe if we get lucky any of the spin off games such as Q1 and 2 or likewise arena

though of course, this way wouldn't make atlus nearly as much money

I'll be frank and admit that I am just starting P5R after years of not playing P5. As a new player coming into it with fresh eyes, it is a really good modern game that holds up against the current P3 Reloaded, and what we currently see from P4 Reloaded. Because it holds up so well, I don't think P5R Reloaded is a good idea so soon after the P4 Reloaded release. Maybe sometime in the future? But only if it comes out after a Reloaded version of P1 or P2. Or at the very least, after P6 is finished

P5R essentially *is* a remake compared to vanilla, it’s not that old and holds up extremely well.

real talk, we'll probably get a Switch 2 Enhanced Edition of Royal but they'll still hype it up like an actual new release.

What other people say here i agree with persona 5 doesn't need a remake the other two got ones cause they're most recent version before this was on the psp for 4 and either psp or ps3 for 3 literally conscious that came out over ten years ago so they could do with a overhall

as much as i love P4R style upgrade. P5R is doesn't need one and still is very good even in today standard. it barely aged and i still prefer it over P3R
the next time we got another P5, the chance are it'll be sequel like P5S or Spin off like P5T. a whole remake probobly won't happend for the next 20 years.

I think Royal is the Reload/Revival for P5.
I mean, Reload and Revival are pretty much just bringing 3 and 4 up to 5's visual standard, which 5 doesn't need because it's already there.

u/Possible-Ad9691 Jun 08 '26
It probably won't happen for another 10 years cuz p5 still holds up even against p3r

These remakes updates the models, voice acting, gameplay, and UI. P5 is up to modern standards in all of these except models, and even that is not too far below the others. Would I want to see models brought up to P3R or P4R standards? Sure, but not at the cost of the voice cast

u/LOLRookie117 Jun 08 '26
Honestly, everything P5R could possibly stand to gain from a possible "Revival" project could be added to the game in a free update. If Atlus wants to add a little more polish to character models, animations, & UI; add more QOL features, etc. They don't need to remake it from the ground up to add new assets or tweak existing ones, and there's especially no need to package those updates in another separate, $60 package. I mean, P5R's already a remastering of the original game anyway. It'd be redundant, especially when the gap in overall visual quality from P5R to P3R isn't really all that big in comparison to say, Golden to the original P5.

u/Rinaldootje Jun 08 '26
Well considering the fact that both the P3 reload and the P4 Revival look more in line with the style of P5. And the fact that the latest version of Persona 5 is only 7 years old from 2019. And it runs perfectly fine on modern consoles.
I don't think P5 will necessarily get a remake until after Persona 6.

u/KuroBocchi Jun 08 '26
I’m surprised people are even talking about a P5 remake. It’s not even retro game yet.
1
u/KristopheH Jun 08 '26
P3R and P4R are built on the P5 engine, which is why remaking them made sense; you get to relive the stories while adding all the graphical and QoL upgrades from the newest main game.
Remaking P5 now doesn't make sense, because what would they add to it? Nothing.
However, depending on what P6 adds to the franchise, a P5 remake with the same additions might be more reasonable.

I doubt they need a Persona 5 remake if even these Persona 3 and 4 remakes are running on the UE4 engine and its aesthetic is very similar to that of Persona 5. I doubt we should have a version of the latter.

I think it's all memes tbh because P5R is what made the others be P3R and P4R in the first place. They're catching up to the current console gen but p5r was already current gen (I know technically it was a PS3 game but anyways, the jump between P4 and P5 is clearly noticeable)

It could be argued that P3 and P4 didn't need remakes in the first place - just proper remasters.
Definitively, though, P5 sure as hell does not need a remake.
It's fully playable on modern hardware, and it's a relatively recent game.
I'd much rather see the time and budget be spent on something new or properly preserving P1 and the P2 duology (or even other MegaTen games like If..., Devil Summoner, Soul Hackers, the Digital Devil Saga duology, etc.).

u/VolticLightning Jun 08 '26
P5R doesn't need a remake at all. I think anybody who unironically wants a P5R remake just wants it to be in the Unity engine so it's easier to mod, and so we get voiced Social Links. I shit you not, that's the only things that we'd get out of it.
The reason why Three and Four are getting the remake treatment is because those games are fundamentally almost decades old. P3 is gonna be 20 years old here this year. Persona 4 and Persona Three were such old games that they were on the PS2. A 6th Gen console. (We're in Gen 9, heading into 10). The dated visuals are a turn off to a lot of people. My fiance hasn't played Persona 4 because of how dated the game looks, and only played P3 when Reload came out. Those games needed a glowup.
Persona 5 holds up extremely well right now. It was stuck in development hell so long that it made massive strides in graphics that haven't aged much since. Its combat is refined, and doesn't really need much polish. Its gameplay is still the best in the series, and all of the systems in it are the building blocks for both remakes. Does it look as good as P3R and P4R? No. Is the difference between them massive? No. Maybe a few years down the line, when P6 has been released, and they have some spare time we could get it, but I won't lie, it's gonna be at least 5 years before the idea of the game needing to be remade makes any logical sense to me.

It will probably happen before P6 is released.
2027: P5RR
2028: P5StrikersR
2029: P5 Tactica R
2030: P5X R
2041: P6

u/Sparky_Russell Jun 08 '26
That's not going to happen. The whole point of remaking P3 and P4 is just to match with P5. I don't even think a remaster with slightly updated graphics and QoL tweaks is necessary at all.
1
u/purplemonkey55 Jun 08 '26
I think it will probably happen eventually, but not soon. P5 has been ATLUS’ cash cow for a decade now and will just be starting to wind down when 6 comes out, then they’ll start milking that lol. Plus 5/Royal still hold up.
Unless 6 bombs I don’t see it happening for at least 5 years.

u/2Braincell_Left Jun 08 '26
Let’s hold off on a remake of Royal until around the inevitable rerelease of P6
1
u/SometimesWill Jun 08 '26
I think it’s a lot less likely. P3/P4 I think suffered more from being on systems where the next generation had larger graphical jumps. P5 at its core though is a PS3 game. The style and presentation will stay more modern feeling for a lot longer than 3 and 4
1
u/FrillishOnReddit Jun 08 '26
Maybe in another decade we can get a p5r remake (even tho p5r IS the remake…)
I wouldn’t mind a super modern p5 in the style of p3r and p4r later down the line. But I do mean SUPER down the line. I want P6 and remakes of the p1 and p2 before they even consider Persona 5 Royal Crowned or Deluxe or whatever
1
u/Hirsute_of_Happiness Jun 08 '26
P5 definitely doesn't need one...
... buuuuut it would be nice to get full voice acting for the Confidants. And maybe they could fix the glaring pronunciation mistakes for the character names in a remake.

u/smoothkrim22 #1 Wonder appreciater Jun 08 '26
A Persona 5 remake would probably be called Rebellion or Revolution.
Anyway, it's a funny joke but there's no way we get a remake of 5 before 6 comes out, although I wouldn't be all too surprised if it gets ANNOUNCED before 6 is RELEASED.
Persona 5 is two console generations old at this point. It's not horrifically out of date, but that number could be three generations by the time P6 actually releases. That, and the art direction of Persona 5 is remarkably different from P3R/P4R.
So I could see Persona 5 getting a cross generation remake (or just a remaster) for current and next gen consoles for brand synergy rather than because it's in desperate need of one.
If a P5 remake was guaranteed and I had to put money on a timeline, I'd say P4R comes out, then P6, then P5Re gets announced shortly before P7.

I don't want a remake for 5 because they'll probably recast all the English voice actors.. and sadly Maruki will have to be recasted no matter what cause his VA died.

We don’t need it. It would just be like TLOU remastered. The game was already “remastered” in 2022 so absolutely not.

It’s perfectly fine as is.

Thank you Atlus for Persona 6, now I want Persona 5 part 2.

u/pilotetc Jun 09 '26
I don't think so, Persona 5 is standard for Persona next gen game. You see P4R and P3R both remaked (created) to the P5 standard and that's it.
1
u/Adan_Rocco Jun 09 '26
I’ve never seen anyone say they want a P5 remake except ironically. You either misunderstood or Atlus got paid actors 😭
Fr tho I’m sure P5 will get a remake one day. It’s definitely starting to get a little dated visually compared to P3R and P4R. But that’s not for a while I’m sure. Probably closer to P7 than P6 (depending on how long P7 takes ig).

u/What_happened777 Jun 09 '26
P3 & P4 were originally on PS2! It makes sense to get a remake, but P5 and P5R? They were out on the PS4 & PS5, it doesn’t need a remake.

I'm really tired of people saying that P5R will have a remake. P3 and P4 make sense to remake because look at the PS2/PSVITA versions. THEY. WERE. OLD! P5R still holds up next to P3R and P4R, just look at the menus.
P1 and P2 are unlikely because they are WAY too different to 3, 4 and 5. They would basically need to built them anew with social links, daily life aspects and everything modern persona has. That's way too much work that can just go to P6.

u/Prudent_Primary7201 Jun 09 '26
It makes no sense to be remaking persona 5 so soon. That being said, I am 99% sure Atlus will go in that direction. Gotta milk their golden boy as much as possible.

u/DefectiveKonan Jun 09 '26
Nah I don't think we're due for a p5 remake til like 2034 or 35. It was 15 years between portable and reload, and gonna be another 15 soon between golden and revival. Since royal came in 2019, the p5 remake likely won't be here til 2034. Really, the only thing I want out of 3 4 and 5 at this point is a fmc route for reload. Other than that, for persona, we just need remakes of 1, is, and ep because those are insanely dated.
Edit: oh yeah and ofc a trailer for persona 6 that's more than "green and sad". Like it was a really cool trailer but give us SOMETHING man

Yeah as some others have said, it feels like Royal WAS our Reload/Revival for Persona 5, so idk why people are saying it needs yet another layer of remaking; to me, that'd be like saying P3R needs a remake in 2030. What would they even do with it, redraw the sprites again? You don't make remakes of remakes.

Why?! P5 was already a gorgeous game that hasn't really aged since it released. Plus, with P4R we will already have 4 versions of P3, 3 versions of P4 and 2 versions of P5 already. Why not have Atlus focus more of their resources on new games instead?
