"Iam8bit's in-house music group, the Blueshift Big Band, has put together another franchise-specific record with the Persona 30th Anniversary Jazz Album, and pre-orders are live now through June 1. The Persona 30th Anniversary Jazz Album comes in three flavors: a Translucent Purple vinyl exclusive to FYE, or a Blue Butterfly or classic black version from iam8bit and other stores."
"All versions carry the same eight reimagined songs from the series' storied history, including "Heaven," "Last Surprise" and "Aria of the Soul." The album features art by award-winning illustrator Mark Borgions, whose work is filled with mid-century magic. He also does the visuals on the Blueshift Big Band's other albums in the Joystick Jazz series, which presents big-band covers of popular video game songs."
"Sega and Atlus are celebrating Persona's 30th birthday in various ways this year, including pop-ups at conventions and, fittingly, a big-band concert tour across Asia in the summer. The next mainline Persona game is still in development with no release date in sight. Persona 4 Revival is also in production and hotly anticipated by longtime series fans, potentially targeting a release window of late 2026 to early 2027."
