Metaphor: ReFantazio is the latest success for Atlus, selling over one million units in its first 24 hours of launch. However, the Persona series continues to perform well, with Sega’s Annual Integrated Report of 2024 revealing that series sales reached 23.5 million worldwide.
The franchise’s previous milestone was 22.6 million sold by March 5th, 2024. Persona 3 Reload launched the month prior and sold one million in its first week, contributing to that total. Atlus hasn’t revealed updated for the remaster or the impact of its recent story DLC, Episode Aigis – The Answer. However, Sega stated in the report (translation via PersonaCentral) that remasters, spin-offs, and simultaneous global launches across multiple platforms contributed to the sales growth of Persona and Like a Dragon.
It’s safe to assume that Persona 6, rumored to launch next year, could also have a multi-platform launch (possibly including Nintendo’s Switch successor and Xbox) and simultaneous worldwide release. Sega and Atlus haven’t officially confirmed the title’s existence, so stay tuned for further updates in the coming months.
