Game Overview:
Persona 5 is a turn based role playing game developed by Atlus, and the sixth main instalment in the Persona sub-series, spinning off from Megami Tensei.
Like its predecessors, it blends elements of role playing, dungeon crawling, and social simulation together in a single experience.
Studio Zero's Katsura Hashino thought it would be a "little bit shorter", but the team added "so much content" and "so much stuff."
That includes Persona 5, Persona 5 Royal, Persona 5 Strikers, Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, and Persona 5 Tactica.
A leak claims that a new Persona 5 spinoff focusing on the character Goro Akechi is in the works, though it allegedly won't be an RPG.
Atlus' beloved RPG could be headed to Xbox at long last.
It's going to take a minute for you to organize it, though.
