Persona 5 Brings Style to Western PS3s in 2015

Personify

by Robert Ramsey Tue 25th Feb 2014

Just as the relatively haunting and mysterious image of those empty chairs against that blood red background was starting to slip from memory, Atlus has unveiled Persona 5's official English website. Much like its Japanese counterpart, it states a clear and simple message: the game will be coming to Western PlayStation 3s in 2015.

It may seem like quite a way off, but we're sure that a few more playthroughs of Persona 4 Golden won't do you any harm while you wait. Check out the familiar English teaser that we've embedded, and let us know if you're turning red at the thought of getting your hands on the game in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) is an assistant editor of Push Square, and has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, Tales — he's played 'em all. A little too much, some might say.

I don't imagine I will bother to own a ps3 by 2015. Won't have time with vita and ps4 in full a swing.

#3 Their 3 possible out comes.
1. Digital Only Publish by Atlus
2. NISA publish Persona 5 in EU and we have to wait 2-3 months
3. We have to wait 9 months

I personally hope Atlus already have talk with NISA about publishing the game in EU.

AAAAHHH! It's probably my most anticipated game ever. I'm constantly browsing the Internet for updates so this made my day.

@RyoHazuki Why? Just don't sell it. You always need it, if you ever want to replay the classics anyway.

Not sure what it is about that trailer, but it gives me goosebumps every time I watch it.

Option for the original Japanese voices this time, please.

@RyoHazuki Don't think PS4 will really be 100% into swing until 2016 to be honest so as @Shellybird27 says I can't understand why you'd sell it.

@Sanquine What, I totally forgot about it being region free. You're so smart! I will, thank you!

2015 can't come sooner. I want this NOW.
Still, I'm glad Atlus is doing just fine even after being acquired by the likes of Sega. I mean... aside from Sonic and Miku, Sega has pretty much forgotten that the western exists. I hope that never happens to Atlus.

@rastamadeus Sony seems to have shifted to ps4 and there aren't a huge amount of titles coming up for ps3 that I'm interested in. Dark souls 2 is the only one that springs to mind. I'll probably be passing on my ps3 to a friend rather than selling. Its practically worthless anyway.

@Shellybird27 I'm not a nostalgic person, I was never massively into the ps3 because I was let down by Sega dumping the Dreamcast and the Xbox was rubbish. I've only bothered to get back into gaming in the last year really. The vita and ps4 are plenty enough.for me.
