Rumour: A New Persona 5 Game Announcement Is Imminent

I'm happy with what we got with Persona 5 and Royal but I would really like to see an announcement for P6.

Hope it's a mobile game so we can just move onto 6 already.

My body is ready

Persons 5 Tactics…?

Persona 5 kart

@Ear_wiG not a bad guess. wouldn't be surprised if they spun Persona off thar way

As much as i love P5 and its characters i would much rather have P6 now as P5 has been milked to death.

They haven’t made Persona 5 Arena

@Ear_wiG Exactly what I was thinking. That or it's a DJ Hero clone: Persona 5 Turntable

Not gonna lie, I’d drop everything and get a new rpg game in the Persona 5 world 😂

@BeerIsAwesome persona 6 being exclusive to Xbox will kill the series lol.

@BeerIsAwesome You know that wouldn't shock me if MS pulled a stunt like that. Would kill the series though as the audience is on PS and Switch and from what i've heard the series hasn't been a hit on Xbox even with GP.

I am more than sold on a Persona 5 spinoff so long it picks up after the end of P5R.

As for the reveal, maybe Summer fest. If it’s not there, then likely the following week on the Xbox Showcase since they will very likely be also revealing P3R there.

@WallyWest when P5 launched on Xbox, despite being in GP, it was on the top selling games at the xbox digital store for a few weeks. I would love to see any source pointing at the game not actually performing well.

I also wish there was someone keeping track of what is charting in that list when, such an archive would be very useful at times like these.

@Tharsman Honestly i don't know i'm just going by what i've heard else where. I do agree though it would be great if sales numbers were easy to find for these things.

Persona 5 2

Persona 5 Tetris

Will we have the timed Xbox announcement exclusively silliness all over again

@WallyWest don’t even mean sales numbers, Xbox has a day by day top selling charts but I am not aware of anyone tracking the historical state so we can tell how things go up and down those charts over time.

Maybe one of these days I’ll stop being lazy and write my own program to save the charts on a daily basis.

@Ear_wiG Yes please.

@anoyonmus Same here.

Would be hilarious if this has nothing to do with Persona and Atlus is just trolling. I honestly wouldn't put it past them.

@OnceaThief Persona 5 Tactics is a mobile game and a spin off of Persona 5. It is set to be exclusively available in Japan.

I wouldn't mind having the story continue but several years later after they have become adults and have gone their separate ways.
In the original they behaved way too mature to be teenagers anyway. Why they haven't written them as college students baffles me. Would have made it less creepy as well.

Persona 5 Tennis.

Wow, everyone was expecting P3 remake...

@MayaMousavi that is almost certainly true, but that still does not make it clear the game made more money in PS5 or Switch (ignoring PS4 lifetime sales) as only the companies involved know just how much money MS paid for the game to be in Game Pass, and at the same time how many players got to play the game on each platform, again, thanks for it being in Game Pass. I’m also sure PS5 sales got largely lowered by virtue of the player base having had access to P5R already for years in PS4 form, and the free PSN+ base P5.

At the end of the day, I would venture to guess the new ports sold best on Switch, maybe second best on PC. Where was most money made is anyone’s guess, though, due to all the unknown stuff behind the scenes.

You know, turn based rpgs from japan are my favourite genre ever.
But for some reason the persona series just never did it for me.
I started persona 5 and after 30 or 40 hours it just lost me.
Dunno why.
Oh well.

@WallyWest It would kill the series in its own country, the xbox consoles are struggling to sell 300 consoles per week in Japan and it's been the same for months now, there's no way atlus release a perosna game and not put it on atleast one of the Japanese consoles otherwise there would be an uproar over there.

And if its xbox exclusive in the west then that would officially end my support for atlus period.

My guess is that it'll be a global version of that china only P5 game.

However it is more likely a merch thing than a game... the T could be for Trousers and it is just a site to buy the Shujin Academy uniform...'s trousers.

@Tharsman for gamepass in the US it slipped down after a few days.

Persona 5 Tennis probably, but doesn't sound too bad if it's true.

@UltimateOtaku91 that isn’t “low”

@GamerDad66 Doesn't mean P3Remake won't happen as well.
Actually, given leaks it is more likely. This one sounds like a P5 spin-off.

Persona 5 Strikers PS5 upgrade

@Ear_wiG SMT: Devil Survivor already fills that niche. A fighting game perhaps?

Just hope its not another f*cking rhytm game.

Curious to see if this is something that will be launched in the West - may be a JP only mobile game like tactics.

Not expecting to see anything at the summer gamesfest or The Xbox showcase as all the previously annocements were made at atlus only events.

P3 remake however is now pretty much nailed on to the Xbox showcase.

How many times are they going to milk this game? They have already sold it at full price several different ways. I liked Strikers when I was playing it, but nothing really stuck with me afterwards. All their money and resources should be going to P6 so they can release 3 different versions of that

Persona 5 True Thief. It’s set in the beautiful land of Italy specifically Naples and follows the Phantom Thieves who are slightly older who get roped into some massive trouble with the local mob there Passione.

Atlus is like a dairy farm and Persona 5 is the cow. They're going to milk that b*tch dry.

Personally, I'd like P6 to become more adult-oriented, or outright make another subseries we're you play grown ups, Catherine shows the team can pull it off.

As I grow older it gets weirder, to say the least, to play a horny teenager that obviously has no boundaries. (or morality? Man, some of the "relationships" get weird, specially with the adult characters, and always end up feeling like you're taking advantage of this people at a vulnerable moment of their lives. That poor teacher's arc from P5 made me feel like sh*t at the end.)

Sorry, I'm venting.

Persona 5 Turok?

@Tharsman That doesn't mean anything. It being on gamepass is like cheating. Being exclusive on there won't work.

@arsmolinarc
1.IMO persona 6 shouldn't ever have an adult oriented cast,because that's not the point of the series. Plus it would take away what makes the series special.

2. No way are you trying to make the players/MC look like the bad and immoral people,when this grown ass women in game, decided to be in a relationship with an underage person.

@mvhess That's the same thing people said about Persona 4, yet Atlus was able to launch Persona 5 at the right time, so yoy guys gotta chill, P6 will come when it needs to come.

@rachetmarvel I'm fine but it rubs me the wrong way that they basically released a game, then added dlc, then charged full price for that dlc. Why aren't people up in arms like they were for the 10$ up charge Sony uses

Put the p5 crew in uni and I am all for it.

I want P6 but with so much success and some of their staff having left they are probably trying to figure out what the next jump is for P6 and are keeping themselves busy with more obvious options.

Oh and I very much appreciate the bad spinoff idea comments and that could easily be an separate article/comment thread.

The only Persona games I have finished are 3 and 4. 5 was too long. And after the serious tone and stories of P3 and P4 made P5's "mean adults" seem overly tame.
