Following last week’s big re-releases, Atlus is keeping thePersonamomentum going by putting five new soundtracks on multiple streaming services. Fans can expect to see OSTs from thePersonadancing games,Persona 3 Portable, and a newly released live album encompassing the wholePersonafranchise on Spotify or their music streaming service of choice.Last week was huge for Atlus, andPersonafans asPersona 3 PortableandPersona 4 Goldenfinally broke out of their PSP confines and found their way to modern platforms like the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. These re-releases came after plenty of asking by fans and after Atlus tested the waters with the PC release ofPersona 4 Goldenin 2020. Notably, almost a year after the PC release ofPersona 4 Golden, Atlus and Sega would also release a treasure trove ofPersonatracks on Spotify, listing over 700 tracks from the mainline and rhythm games under one playlist titled “Persona OST.”RELATED:New 25th Anniversary Persona Merchandise Includes Household ItemsNowPersonafans can get even more music from the beloved JRPG franchise in their ears with the release of five additional soundtracks from across thePersonadancing games,Persona 3 Portable, and a new live album from a franchise celebration concert in 2017. The complete list of OSTs includesPersona 3 Dancing Moon Night,Persona 5 Dancing Star Night,Persona Dancing P3D & P5D - Advanced Edition,Persona 3 Portable, andPersona Super Live P-Sound Bomb. All five soundtracks can be easily found on Spotify, Apple Music, or YouTube Music, but they don’t seem to have been packaged as neatly in one playlist as 2021’s initial OST release.
Fans can expect to hear plenty of remixes and previously unreleased tracks from thePersonaseries, including a Jazztronik remix of the classic “Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There” track fromPersona 5andRoyal, or extended mixes of the catchyPersona 3 DancingandPersona 5 Dancingtracks in the newly digitally releasedAdvanced EditionOST. Also of note is that this is the first time thePersona 3 Portablesoundtrack has been available digitally, featuring a few unreleased songs exclusive to the female protagonist.
Although it did take many years and a bit of convincing, it is great to see Atlus re-releasing some of its most cherishedPersonagames and beloved soundtracks to modern platforms and new audiences. The studio has said thatportingPersona 3 PortableandGoldenwas a difficult and painstaking process, but it seems like the effort paid off, as JRPG fans have been generally enthusiastic about these re-releases. Hopefully, whatever Atlus has in store for the future ofPersonawill be equally accessible right from the start.
