The stream will go live on YouTube at 5 PM JST (3 AM ET). Ami Koshimizu, the Japanese voice actress behind Persona 4‘s Yukiko Amagi, will also be present in this stream as a guest. Neki Matsuzawa will host the stream.

Atlus had earlier opened the Persona 30th anniversary website right as Japan reached the new year at midnight JST on January 1, 2026. As of this announcement, it only features a multiple-character artwork drawn by Shigenori Soejima with a teaser for the next update on January 8, 2026—the same day this stream goes live. The artwork features the protagonists of Revelations: Persona, Persona 2, Persona 3 (including the female protagonist from Persona 3 Portable), Persona 4, and Persona 5, as well as the ongoing free-to-play game Persona 5: The Phantom X.

The Persona series’ 30th anniversary celebrations are expected to peak in late September, around the release date of Revelations: Persona for PlayStation in Japan on September 30, 1996. It will formally kick off with the first Japanese live stream on January 8, 2026.
