Nintendo just spent 45 minutes proving Switch 2’s second wave is going to be relentless, and I’m still catching my breath. Here’s every game that showed up during this Nintendo Direct, broken down so you’re not scrolling through a wall of text to find the one you care about.

Nintendo Direct 9.9.2026

The remakes and remasters keep coming

• Monster Hunter Wilds and Ascendance – confirmed for Switch 2 with local play, landing 4th December, Ascendance to follow in 2027
• Crisis Core: FF7 Reunion – out on Switch 2 the same day as the Direct, no fanfare needed
• Final Fantasy VII Revelation – new trailer, launches 8th April
• Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity – Definitive Edition – new difficulty mode, out 25th February
• The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Remastered – arrives this month
• Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 – Royal Edition – lands sometime in 2027
• Pikmin 4 – Switch 2 Edition – voice commands via the console mic, out 12th November, which is either genius or a recipe for shouting matches with your Pikmin
• Xenoblade Chronicles 3 – Switch 2 Edition – new survival mode and hero Shimmer, out 3rd December
• Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4 Remakes – bundled together on Switch 2, 16th October, still one of the best deals in gaming right now

New games worth actually caring about

• Persona 4 Revival – classic JRPG confirmed for Switch 2
• Persona 6 – officially confirmed, but Atlus is keeping every detail locked down for now

Just as promised, Nintendo held a second Direct stream today announcing many more games coming to the Switch 2 soon, well beyond Zelda. One of the bigger parts of today's show included back to back trailers for Persona, ending with a teaser for Persona 6.

Towards the end of today's Nintendo Direct, we got two new trailers for upcoming Persona titles. Firstly, Persona 4 Revival was announced, coming to the Switch 2 on the 20th of May next year:

Persona 4 Revival is a complete remake of Persona 4 Golden, which prior to Persona 5, was widely considered to be the best game in the series. While the remake does look great, I'm a lot more interested in the plan for Persona 6 at this point with it having been so long.

The good news there is that there was a trailer for Persona 6:

The downside is that it is just a short logo teaser, with no other information given. Presumably though, this does mean that Persona 6 will be available on Switch 2 systems at launch, alongside the PC, Xbox and PlayStation versions. There is no official word on when Persona 6 will actually come out, but late 2027 / early 2028 sounds like a sensible timeframe.

KitGuru Says: Are you looking forward to the next Persona game?

Following my 1-hour long hands-on session with Persona 4 Revival, which immediately brought me back to 2012 when I first played Persona 4 Golden, I had the chance to sit down with Persona series general producer Kazuhisa Wada and art director Akane Kobayashi to talk about the upcoming remake, focusing on the new mechanics and the improvements it will bring to the original PlayStation Vita game. You can find our full conversation below. Note: The interview was conducted via an interpreter and has been edited for clarity. Q: Persona 3 Reload was very faithful to the original game. Is Persona […]

Although the Persona 2 games remain my favorite entries in the series, I have a really soft spot for Persona 4. As such, I couldn't be more excited for Persona 4 Revival, which will bring back Yu Narukami, the rest of the gang, and the mystery behind the Midnight Channel to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on February 18, 2027. While the game is set to be extremely faithful to Persona 4 Golden, I was still very excited by the opportunity offered by SEGA and Atlus to try it out during gamescom 2026. Though short, my 1-hour-long session […]

Set to arrive early next year, there is a great deal of hype and excitement surrounding ATLUS’s upcoming Personal 4 Revival remake. While much of what has been shown so far appears positive, fans have expressed disappointment with the announcement that the entire English voice cast have been replaced. Justifying the decision, ATLUS have now explained why.

Taking part in an interview with the publication GamesRadar+ during Gamescom 2026, Persona producer Kazuhisa Wada explained why the studio opted to replace the English cast for this remake, stating (via a translator):

“The original game was originally recorded for the English cast, specifically, a long, long time ago” adding that many “are no longer in the industry” or were “really hard to lock down” due to their risen popularity.

Wada continued, “So we realized we can't re-gather that whole cast. So we're like, ‘OK, I guess we have to kind of once again roll up our sleeves. Alright, let's start over. Let's get a whole new cast in and let's do our best.’”

For the uninitiated, Persona 4 Golden featured many high profile voice actors, including but not limited to Yuri Lowenthal; Troy Baker and Laura Bailey.

While it was disappointing to hear that the original cast wouldn’t be returning to P4’s revival, the explanation does make a great deal of sense. Hopefully the new voice actors are able to capture the spirit of these characters.

Persona 4 Revival continues Atlus' remaking endeavors following 2024's Persona 3 Reload, but it seems like the Japanese company is already thinking about what's next for the popular JRPG series following the release of this new remake and Persona 6 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. With Persona 5 being a modern game in no need of an immediate remake, Atlus could be looking at the series' past, but remaking the first two entries in the series will be a significant challenge due to the original games themselves. Speaking with GamerBraves, Persona 4 Revival producer […]

In the 10 years since the initial launch of Persona 5, we’ve seen ATLUS publish a ton of various side-projects, re-releases and full-on remakes. Following the success of Persona 3 Reload – and ahead of the upcoming Persona 4 Revival, ATLUS producer Kazuhisa Wada was asked about the prospects of remakes for the first two games in the series; responding positively to the notion.

Taking part in an interview conducted by the publication GamerBraves, ATLUS producer Kazuhisa Wada was asked about the upcoming Persona 4 Revival vis-a-vis “the technical challenges of rebuilding Inaba in 3D to the choices behind combat, story presentation, and the game’s new title.”

While the full interview can be found HERE, the most interesting part came when Wada was asked about other potential remake projects – namely remakes for the original Persona 1 and 2.

 

Though a concrete answer was not provided, the prospect seems to be ruminating internally at ATLUS, with Wada stating: “At this point, I can't say for sure, but personally, I think it's something we should definitely do. I think we have to do it.”

It is worth noting that of all the Persona games, the first two are likely to be the toughest to remake, owing to the fact that both games were developed for the PlayStation 1 and as such are structured very differently to P3 onwards. That said, this is perhaps the exact reason as to why these two titles deserve to be remade.

Either way, with Persona 4 Revival scheduled to launch in February of next year – and Persona 6 likely years away from release – don’t expect any more remakes anytime soon.

The first proper look at Atlus's Persona 4 Revival arrived earlier this month during the Xbox Games Showcase, but the Japanese developer provided a more in-depth look at the remake of the fourth entry in the series launching on February 18, 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S (including Xbox Game Pass) in a dedicated livestream which showcased its key features, including some new combat features that are set to make some underutilized mechanics more worthwhile to use. The Persona 4 Revival broadcast provided a good overview of what to expect to see in the game, going over […]

Summer Game Fest 2026 has come and gone, leaving us with two incredibly busy periods in the game release schedule: September-October 2026 and February-March 2027, which publishers big and small have identified in their not-so-disguised attempt to avoid a collision with Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto VI when it makes its debut on November 19, 2026. To fans of the roleplaying games genre, though, the recent flurry of game announcements has brought the near-certainty that next year will be memorable and perhaps unparalleled even in the future, thanks to the return of several beloved franchises/IPs and studios. Also, unlike recent years, […]

February 2027 is setting out to be a month to remember for role-playing game fans all over the world, as it will see Fable and Persona 4 Revival square off in the span of a few days. A new trailer shown during the Xbox Games Showcase confirmed that the remake of the fourth entry in the series by Atlus will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on February 18, 2027, as previously rumored.

June is coming up, which means we are due for a ton of game reveals and release date announcements from major publishers across the industry. Thanks to ratings board leaks, we know of at least four titles due to get major announcements in the coming weeks. 

Earlier this month we learned that The Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea had updated its listing for Fable, indicating that Xbox will finally announce the game's release date during its showcase next month. Now, the same ratings board has updated listings for several other titles.

For starters, it looks like Paradox Interactive has teamed up with Lego for a new version of Cities Skylines, titled Lego Skylines. Persona 4 Revival has also been listed, which means Sega will finally show off more of the game, following the short 30-second teaser last year.

As spotted by Gematsu, the likes of Ace Combat 8, Gears of War E-Day and even Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy also appear. However, we already knew that Gears of War E-Day would be a major highlight of the next Xbox showcase. In the case of Guardians of the Galaxy, we are likely looking at a new Switch 2 port of the game.

KitGuru Says: Persona 3 Reload was great so I have high hopes for Persona 4 Revival. Lego Skylines should be very interesting to see as well – the Lego aesthetic will work very well for a city-builder.
