Persona 4 Revival & Stranger Than Heaven Delayed Until After April 2026
If you're eagerly awaiting Persona 4 Revival or Stranger Than Heaven, get comfy—you're in for a wait. According to Sega’s latest fiscal roadmap, neither title will launch before April 1, 2026. In fact, both are slated for release during fiscal year 2027, which runs from April 2026 to March 2027.
What Does “Fiscal Year 2027” Even Mean?
In corporate calendars, "FY 2027" begins April 1, 2026, and ends March 31, 2027. Official investor materials list Persona 4 Revival and Stranger Than Heaven under “announced titles releasing in or after FY 2027/3,” so a 2026 release is possible—but if not, expect them anytime up to early 2027.
What’s Coming When?
| Title | Release Window |
|---|---|
| Persona 4 Revival | Between April 2026 and March 2027. |
| Stranger Than Heaven | Same fiscal window as Persona 4 Revival |
What We Know So Far
-
Persona 4 Revival
-
A full remake in the vein of Persona 3 Reload.
-
Announced June 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC.
-
-
Stranger Than Heaven
-

-
Why the Wait?
These games are ambitious—Persona 4 Revival is a full reimagining, and Stranger Than Heaven spans multiple decades, crossing eras (1915, 1929, 1943) in its storytelling. Plus, with Atlus still polishing Persona 3 Reload and building up the new IP, it makes sense they’re taking their time.
How the Community Reacted
Reddit gamers have been crunching fiscal calendars to decode this schedule:
“For context, FY2027 starts April 1, 2026... Late 2026 or early 2027 for P4 Revival”
And analysts agree:
“A two-year wait time... sounds about right, considering the pace at which modern video games are made.”
What This Means for Persona 6
If Persona 4 Revival comes out mid-2026 to early 2027, Persona 6 won’t arrive anytime soon—likely further down the line, possibly FY 2028 at the earliest.
TL;DR
-
Both Persona 4 Revival and Stranger Than Heaven are confirmed for release after April 1, 2026, within fiscal year 2027 (April 2026–March 2027)
-
Persona 4 Revival is a full-fledged remake for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC—announced June 2025.
-
Stranger Than Heaven is a brand-new RGG Studio project spanning multiple historical eras.
Persona 6 won't be expected until at least FY 2028 — so probably 2028 or early 2029 .
Final Thoughts
Yes, the wait is long—but patience might pay off big: polished remakes and high-production storytelling are worth it. Meanwhile, this timeline gives fans time to dive into Persona 3 Reload, replay the original Persona 4, or explore the new Stranger Than Heaven world once it finally drops.
