Persona 5 Also Coming to PS4 (2015)

[ethomaz]

Hello, everyone. This is the Persona Team's Hashino.

While it was sudden, during the conference that was held by SCE earlier today, they showed a trailer for the Persona series' latest main numbered title, Persona 5. The setting is reversed from the previous title, as the title will depict the lives of youths living in a setting of a big city.

I apologize for only being able to show so little, but it would make me happy to know that you all have been able to get a glimpse of the game's atmosphere.

Persona 5 was announced last year, and in addition to the release for PlayStation 3, we're currently developing a PlayStation 4 version to release simultaneously in 2015. Furthermore, it's very regretful that we'll keep you guys waiting (I'm sorry ; , but I believe we'll have a great game that will remain in your hearts.

While this may seem presumptuous to mention in the midst of all the high expectations, I am in charge of the direction of the game, following Persona 3 and Persona 4. Also returning is character designer [Shigenori Soejima] who worked on the previous title, and [Shoji Meguro] in charge of music, and together with trusted and reliable staff members, we're pushing forward and working hard.

Personally speaking, after directing Catherine, I was supposed to prepare for making titles on HD consoles... but that's a story from a very long time ago. Since then, we've worked together with the team staff on developing various titles, and each one has exceeded my expectations.

Not only in terms of games, but they've also reached TV anime series, stage plays, live concerts, and even a theatrical anime film. Honestly, the only thing I've planned and produced outside of video games is Persona Stalker Club that is currently going on over at Nico Nico Douga.

In addition to the folks at Aniplex who've produced our anime, we are very fortunate to have so many projects and support, and I'm truly grateful. I believe that it is a result from all the support from the fans. Thank you very much.

Again, I'd like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the Atlus fans who've been supporting us since the past. As you may know, the current series saw a change in production staff back in Persona 3, from visuals, music, to a new view of the world.

In those days, there was a great deal of uncertainty, and even with all the pros and cons, we were blessed with many fans who've continued enjoying and supporting us, since the early days to the latest titles. On behalf of the development staff, I'd like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

I hope that we'll have something that will bring you all plenty of joy, and I also hope you all look forward to its completion. Thank you for your continued support!

I wonder why vita isn't getting a port.

[BasilZero]

I wonder why vita isn't getting a port.

Persona 5 Golden for PS3, PS4 and PSVita in 2017 (or 2016?)

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

I wonder why vita isn't getting a port.

Handled versions come after the home consoles with added content. So I'd guess 2016.

But part of the reason i'm so hyped it's coming to ps4 is i can remote play it.  So that's awesome.

Talking about Persona.

Irvine, Calif. -- July 30, 2014 -- ATLUS' renowned RPG for the Nintendo 3DS™, Shin Megami Tensei IV, is making its way to Europe later this year as a digital download title for just €19.99/£17.99/$26. And by later this year, we mean sometime in September; all the DLC will be available as well, except for the North America retailer-exclusive pre-order bonus armor.

I'm glad Atlus is localization this game on 3DS.
