Posted By | On 01st, Sep. 2014

Atlus’s Persona 5 made an appearance at Sony’s pre-TGS presser and it was announced that the JRPG would be arriving in 2015 for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. A short animated teaser for the same was provided though it did nothing to reveal story or character details. Check it out above.

And in case you’re wondering, the names provided in the beginning relate to respective dev team members like composer Shoji Meguro who worked on the soundtracks for Persona 3 and Persona 4. So yes, you can credit him for getting “Burn My Dread” stuck in your head.

Persona has always been a PlayStation-exclusive franchise with the first few games appearing on the PS One. Eventually, Persona re-emerged as a franchise with Persona 3 on the PS2, which was quickly followed by Persona 4. While Persona 4 also released on the PS3, Persona 5 was to be the first real game in the series to be built specifically for the console. The 2015 release date currently relates to Japan though so stay tuned for more information on a Western release.
