When Persona 5 Tactica launches later this year, it’ll be transporting the entire Phantom Thieves gang to a new adventure with a new chibi-esque aesthetic and turn-based strategy gameplay- or, well, most of the Phantom Thieves, at any rate. A couple of characters are going to be notably missing with misguided antagonist Goro Akechi and Persona 5 Royal star Kasumi Yoshizawa- though it seems even those two won’t be missing in action for too long.
We got another look at Persona 5 Tactica gameplay with a new trailer at yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, which also revealed that the game will be getting day one story DLC titles Repaint Your Heart. And interestingly enough, it seems that DLC will feature Akechi and Kasumi, which would certainly align with Atlus saying the DLC will star “highly anticipated characters”.
That’s according to Twitter user @MbKKssTBhz5, who has previously leaked accurate details related to the turn-based tactics title, and recently uploaded key art for the Repaint Your Heart DLC, which displays Kasumi and Akechi in the game’s chibi-esque aesthetic below its logo.
Official details on the DLC haven’t yet been announced by Atlus, though with the game not out for a while yet, it’s likely that information will arrive in the coming weeks and months. Stay tuned.
Persona 5 Tactica launches on November 17 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
