As the Persona series’ popularity continues to grow, so, too do its sales, with Atlus having recently announced another new major commercial milestone for the beloved role-playing series.
The developer has announced that as of today, March 5, the Persona series has sold a total of 22.6 million units worldwide across all platforms, including all mainline games and their many spinoffs and re-releases.
Of course, that number did receive a recent boost with Persona 3 Reload, which launch last month and sold 1 million units in its first week, becoming Atlus’ biggest launch to date. Atlus has also released a special trailer for the remake to celebrate the series’ latest sales milestone. Check it out below.
A significant portion of the series’ sales are also thanks to Persona 5 and its spinoffs, which have collectively sold over 10 million units to date.
Though Atlus has said that it doesn’t plan to release an expanded version of Persona 3 Reload similar to Persona 4 Golden or Persona 5 Royal, recent datamining leak suggested that Persona 3 FES’ The Answer will nonetheless be added as DLC, which is something that a hidden easter egg in the remake seems to suggest as well. Meanwhile, leaks have claimed that Atlus is also working on Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game.
As for what’s next for the series beyond that, if rumours are to be believed, Persona 6 is targeting 2025 launch, and is going to be semi-open world experience. Atlus’ parent company Sega has said it expects the game to sell 5 million units in its first year, so clearly, the company has high hopes for Persona.
