If Persona 3 was one of your favorite titles of 2007, this ought to come as welcome news. In Atlus’ recent company profile, they mention several titles scheduled for next year, including a sequel to Etrian Odyssey and Persona 4. The latter is listed as a PS2 game however, so it looks like the title will not be making the jump to next-gen consoles.
This may be disappointing news to some, but seeing as how Persona 3 performed quite well in Japan and is very popular there, it may not phase most gamers. The timing is good, as there will be an anime series launching in 2008 as well. Frankly, I don’t mind one bit what console an RPG comes to if it has a great story. On the other hand, a solid next gen RPG would be super, so hopefully we’ll see one of those in 2008 as well.
