Persona 5 PC Port is Not Going to Happen, Reiterates Atlus PR Manager

It appears that Persona 5 won’t be coming to PC, after all. The official website for Persona 5 was recently hacked and listed July 8^th as the release day for the JRPG—surprisingly the listing cited both the PC and PS4 as release platforms.

Japanese developers have been notoriously console-centric, though the tremendous success From Software’s Dark Souls franchise has enjoyed on PC—especially in the West—has led to a handful of other including Dragon’s Dogma and Valkyria Chronicles­­—being ported over from console. The website hack and fake listing have, however, dashed hopes for a PC port of Persona 5. Atlus’ PR Manager, John Hardin tweeted that a PC port is “Not going to happen.”

It’s important to note that there never really was a question of a PC port. As far back as last August, Hardin called a PC port of Persona 5 “infinitely improbable.” Atlus hasn’t yet revealed a release date for Persona 5 either, so PS4 owners will also have to be content with waiting for an official announcement.
