I blame mostly SEGA since they reestructed Atlus a few years ago, ditching the Royal engine to switch to Unreal Engine 4 (which is funny since Metaphor uses Royal's engine and it shows).
Atlus, mostly P-Studio was churning out spin-offs and making quite a profit and now they have... nothing, except Reload and Metaphor in these last years. Revival is going to late 2026 or even 2027.

I still think Revival was planned after Persona 6, but somehow they changed plans (maybe P6 got delayed), and that's why the announcement was so sudden and lackluster.
