Rumors have ignited excitement among fans of Persona 4 following an Instagram post from Shihoko Hirata, the vocalist known for tracks in the game. Fans detected clues indicating she is recording a new project at a studio familiar to the Persona series.

Hirata shared a photo from the recording booth, which ignited speculation among the community. Although specifics about the game were not disclosed, her interactions on social media hinted at a connection to Persona 4.

“Singer Shihoko Hirata, best known for Persona 4, revealed she’s recording for an unannounced game. Her photo shows MIT Studio (Studio 2) in Tokyo—the same one from the Persona 5 Strikers ‘Recording Making-of’…”

This news has incited mixed reactions. While current Persona 4 fans show enthusiasm, long-time players of the original three games express frustration over their unmet expectations for remakes of their favorite titles, longing for a reboot of Persona 2 and others.

“I’ve been dying for a Persona 2 remake since 2013… P4 is great, but it’s fine as it is with Persona 2 rotting, begging for a new audience,” lamented one disappointed fan.

With mayhem in the community, the anticipated Persona 4 remake seems an exciting but slightly contentious subject, evolving the franchise’s legacy into its next chapter.
