One prominent Persona leaker has made a claim that multiple upcoming games from Sega and its subsidiary Atlus will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. While the leaker hasn't named any of these titles specifically and Nintendo hasn't even officially confirmed the Switch 2's existence, some sources believe this could mean more Persona remakes will make their way to the console.

Following the port of Persona 4 Golden to modern consoles in early 2023 and the release of remake Persona 3 Reload in February 2024, there have been plenty of rumors about Persona 1 and 2 getting remakes as well. There have also been rumors swirling for months providing details about Persona 6, although that game has yet to be announced.

The new rumors surrounding Sega and Atlus games coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 come from the Twitter account of Midori, a well-known figure in the Persona online community. Midori has leaked Sega and Persona-related news in the past, having successfully and accurately shared information about Persona 3 Reload and Persona 5 Tactics ahead of any official announcements about those games. Replying to a tweet from another account that claimed Sega's upcoming Jet Set Radio game will be a full remake, Midori on April 29 backed up that claim before adding that "Every Atlus and Sega remake is also releasing on Switch 2." While somewhat vague, this statement had led some sources like Comicbook to the conclusion that the rumored remakes of the first two Persona games along with the five classic titles Sega announced revivals for at The Game Awards 2023 will all be released for the Switch 2.

Every Atlus and Sega remake is also releasing on Switch 2.

Upcoming Sega Remakes and Remasters

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona (Rumored)
Persona 2 (Rumored)
Jet Set Radio
Crazy Taxi
Golden Axe
Streets of Rage
Shinobi

If this rumor turns out to be true, that would make seven classic Sega games making their return on the Switch 2. Among Midori's claims about the upcoming Sega titles are the rumor that Jet Set Radio will receive a full remake planned for 2026 in addition to a remaster of the original game at an unspecified date, which are consistent with rumors that Midori leaked in February. Similar leaks have come from the same source regarding Crazy Taxi, with Midori claiming that franchise will also receive both a remake and a remaster.

As it stands, the Nintendo Switch 2 is shrouded in rumors, such as the console being backwards compatible with physical copies of Switch games and its alleged use of larger Joy-Cons and a bigger screen with a higher graphical resolution. Nintendo, Sega, and Atlus have all yet to make any official reveals about the Switch 2 or about any of the above-mentioned games coming to the console, so while Midori has been right about a lot of things in the past, fans of these games should take these rumors with a grain of salt.
