The recent announcement of Persona remasters for Xbox and PC have taken the gaming world by storm. Three games from the popular JRPG series are going multiplatform for the first time. However, Persona 3/4/5 have so far been confirmed for most platforms, except for the Nintendo Switch.
For a platform well acquainted with JRPGs, this omission does seem odd. This is especially true when considering developer Atlus' affiliation with the hybrid console, as seen with the release of 2021's Shin Megami Tensei V. However, not all could be lost yet, as insider Alanah Pearce suggests a new Nintendo Direct will be taking place soon.
A Sony Santa Monica employee named Alanah Pearce recently hosted a Twitch stream during which she talked about the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase. She ticked off upcoming gaming events, which to many viewers' surprise, included a Nintendo Direct.
Pierce then re-checked and confirmed that there would indeed be one on June 29, 2022. She added:
This isn't really surprising, given that June is a major season for gaming. Publishers always announce new projects around this time, usually at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).
However, since E3 2022 was canceled, companies have chosen to host their own shows, something Nintendo has been doing for a while now. Their last livestream was in February of this year. Given their history, it is pretty much confirmed that they will air one this month too.
It is not uncommon for a game to be announced on all platforms besides the Nintendo Switch, only for the handheld rendition to be announced at a later date.
So perhaps Persona 3/4/5 could follow the same format for the hybrid portable. Fans have been asking for a Switch port of these games, especially P5R, for a long time.
