Persona 3 Portable rolled out for modern platforms earlier this year but ATLUS may have something even bigger planned. Earlier this year, it was claimed that a full remake of Persona 3 is in the works and now, we've got our first glimpse at it.
Gematsu has reported this week that the Persona 3 Remake is “planned at the very least” based on conversations with its own developer sources. One Twitter user has shared a clip of what appears to be early footage of the remake in action:

For the uninitiated, Persona 3 exists in multiple incarnations, that being the original Persona 3; Persona 3 FES and Persona 3 Portable. Each of these three titles has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, Portable removes 3D hubs from the world and plays out more like a visual novel compared to the standard version. However, this version also has more content compared to the original release, including an additional protagonist.
A remake would allow ATLUS to go back and create a truly definitive version, incorporating the best bits of each version of Persona 3, combined with modern gameplay enhancements seen in newer Persona games.
Rumours claim that Persona 3 Remake is being developed alongside Persona 6, although we do not know which one will release first.
KitGuru Says: Would you like to see a full Persona 3 Remake, or would you rather Atlus focus all of its efforts on Persona 6?
