The Persona franchise, the best-selling JRPG spin-off of Atlus's Shin Megami Tensei saga, is a series about teenagers summoning demons to fight supernatural threats... and it's also an introspective saga drenched in Tarot Card symbolism and the theories of Carl Jung, an early psychologist who blended scientific psychoanalysis with mystical symbolism.
Core elements to the Persona franchise – Shadows, Archetypes, the Collective Unconsciousness – all owe their existence to Dr. Carl Jung, who pioneered the idea of the unconscious not just as a well of repressed desire, but also as a spring of inspiration and personal power.
An update to a domain for Persona 4 remake suggests that the game may be close to an official announcement at the Xbox Games Showcase.

Interesting read.
It's been very well known that Persona is based on Jungian psychology, at the very least.
Persona 5 added in Social Cognitive Psychology, which made for a very interesting experience.
