Ben-DutkaIt's one of the most respected and acclaimed JRPG franchises in history, and now it's headed to the PlayStation 4.
Atlus has announced that Persona 5 is in development for the PS4 and PS3, and it's currently scheduled to ship next year.
If you've been following the news, you know the game was originally slated as a PS3-only title, and it was supposed to arrive in 2014. But now, the designers are cranking on a separate iteration for Sony's new console, so perhaps that's the reason we have to wait until 2015. We're sure fans of the genre are willing to be patient, because Persona is really just that good. You gotta be into the Japanese style, though.
Here's a teaser trailer:

Oh my God oh my God oh my God oh my God
Take my money, right now just take it all, please. Oh my God, screw every other western game ever made and hopes for Final Fantasy just give me this game ASAP.
CALM DOWN,CALM DOWN,CALM DOWN
Its not like they released the the new Star Wars trailer yet..
Yeeeeah, That was my initial reaction too…
Well maybe one omygod less…
Thanks, I'll try to calm down…. oh my god….
who would've thought TGS would bring the best PS4 announcements for the year?
I plan on trying this bad boy out. So glad its headed to the PS4.
Well that's interesting. Atlus usually doesn't risk the cost of developing a Persona for a new console (Persona 4 released for the PS2, even the PS3 was already out), maybe the sales success of the PS4 convinced them?
Anyways, It looks awesome, can't wait to play it!
Sales success means bigger install base and when you add that to how easy it is to put a game on PS4 I think they figured they had to do it. Plus they are under new management so they might have had something to do with it.
New management? Last I heard was that Sega bought Index, but that they weren't touching Atlus (being the only successful part of Index since the bankrupt) Were there any changes beyond that?
No, they were left to develop on their own just as it should be (no crazy orders to make it an action game) but I don't think it's impossible that something came down from above that said to go ahead and put it on PS4 since they would be allocated the funds to do it.
Ah, ok… Thanks World
yeah well I'm just speculating man, could be wrong. I like to think my way into processes 🙂
Great hope it's a hit we need more JRPG's!
cant wait to see how Persona 5 plays in the new 3d camera generation
heeeelllllllzz yeah!
You PS4 sole owners are SO lucky to get this haha.
Guess I know which version I'll be buying (Y)
It's going to be a PS3 port with updated graphics.
Still, I'm ridiculously excited for this game!
