Mappa, the studio responsible for the incredible, industry-leading animation in Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man, is bringing its prodigious talents to Persona 4 Revival. And it’s not just doing an opening animation, like it did for Persona 5 Royal: Mappa will animate every in-game cutscene in the upcoming remake. The studio announced this news at Anime Expo 2026, and also provided a sneak peek at a cutscene with protagonist Yu Narukami facing off against a Hablerie shadow. You can see a seven-second tease of it in the post below, but the full version is still available if you scroll back through the Anime Expo Lite livestream. Lights, camera, MAPPA! 🎞️ All animation cutscenes in Persona 4 Revival will be produced by the renowned Japanese animation studio, @MAPPA_Info.

(The first time was 2025’s Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road.) And even though Persona 4 doesn’t have the same level of violence and gore that Mappa has become so adept at producing, there’s still plenty of room for stylistic flourishes and badass animation. Persona 5 Royal’s opening did such a good job setting the tone for the game that the rest of the cutscenes paled in comparison. We won’t have to worry about that with Persona 4 Revival.
