With Atlus celebrating the 25th anniversary of the series, Persona potentially has a big year ahead of itself. With five planned announcements remaining between now and this fall, expectations are high among fans, especially given all the rumors of what's potentially coming.

Beyond that, there are very few slam-dunk predictions from the remaining announcements other than an eventual tease of Persona 6. However, a few obvious omissions have not been the subject of any leaks or rumors beforehand: Persona 1, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, and Persona 2: Eternal Punishment.
