Studio MAPPA — the team behind Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man, and Hell’s Paradise — has been confirmed to animate every single in-game cutscene in Persona 4 Revival, the full remake of the beloved 2008 JRPG. The announcement dropped at Anime Expo 2026 on 4 July, alongside a new Rise Kujikawa character trailer and a preview of MAPPA’s work in action. Persona 4 Revival launches on 18 February 2027 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, and SEGA Asia has confirmed Singapore pricing starting from S$84.90.
MAPPA Animates All Persona 4 Revival Cutscenes — a First for the Franchise
This is only the second time in MAPPA’s history that the studio has handled every in-game cutscene for a title — the first being Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road in 2025. For Persona, the collaboration goes further than anything before: MAPPA’s previous involvement was limited to the opening movie and select scenes in Persona 5 Royal. Here they own the full animated presentation. An animation director on the project studied all four mainline Persona titles before beginning work, and Anime Corner reports that the AX preview showed protagonist Yu Narukami in a confrontation with a Hablerie shadow as his Persona awakens for the first time — rendered in full MAPPA fidelity.
For Singapore fans who grew up on Persona 4 Golden, the implication is significant. The original game had gorgeous, limited anime sequences; the remake promises MAPPA quality across the board.
What’s New in Persona 4 Revival vs. the Original
Persona 4 Revival is a full modern reimagining of the original 2008 PS2 game, building on the foundation of Persona 4 Golden with upgraded graphics, UI, combat, and — most visibly — those new MAPPA cutscenes. The dual-track gameplay loop returns: investigate supernatural murders via the TV World’s Midnight Channel by day, and build Social Links with Inaba’s residents to power up your Investigation Team.
The Rise Kujikawa trailer confirmed the full English voice cast at AX: Nazeeh Tarsha as Yu Narukami, Paul Castro Jr. as Yosuke Hanamura, Anne Yatco as Chie Satonaka, Brianna Knickerbocker as Yukiko Amagi, and Abby Trott as Rise Kujikawa (voiced in Japanese by Rie Kugimiya). Pre-order bonuses include a music set drawing on tracks from Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Royal, available until 17 February 2027.
Singapore Pricing — All Editions Confirmed
SEGA Asia’s regional page lists all editions with Singapore pricing (inclusive of tax):

One thing to note: physical copies are PS5 only. Xbox Series X|S and PC players are digital only. On the upside, Xbox and PC versions launch day one on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, so subscribers on those platforms get it at no extra charge. The game supports 14 subtitle languages including Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, and Thai — a strong sign that ATLUS is treating the Asia market seriously this time around.
