Persona 5 Delay Revealed in Tokyo Game Show 2015 Trailer

Atlus showed off a new Persona 5 trailer at Tokyo Game Show 2015, revealing that the upcoming RPG has been delayed until summer 2016 in Japan. While that news is unfortunate for those anticipating Persona 5 to be released this year as previously promised, the latest trailer does give a glimpse into what to expect when the game does release next year. The new trailer previews the game’s combat, main characters and villains, enemies and the Shibuya-esque city it’ll be based in. It also confirms that Persona 5 is still under development for both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 consoles, although it’s unclear whether Atlus will release the game worldwide next summer.

“The strengths of the Persona series are compelling characters, a moving, relatable story, and a borderline obsession with minutiae – elements which can’t be rushed or taken lightly,” Atlus said in a statement. “So while ATLUS realizes the frustration and disappointment that this must cause for the JRPG-loving public, please know that we are delaying the game in order to make sure the next iteration of the Persona series lives up to the expectations of fans.”
