Persona 5 won’t release until April 4th, the publisher revealed the delay during a livestream, which also saw the debut of the first English-language gameplay of the upcoming role-playing game.
Persona 5 has been in the works for several years now, and fans have hotly anticipated the title since the release of Persona 4. That game debuted on PlayStation 2 back in 2008, and it’s received several spinoffs (and a high-quality re-release) across various platforms since.
Check the Game Mechanics trailer down below:
“Originally set for a February 14, 2017 release, Persona 5 won’t make it onto PlayStation 3 or PlayStation 4 stateside for another several weeks. That’s in spite of the fact that Japanese fans have had their hands on the game since mid-September.
To compensate for the later release date, Atlus will receive Japanese audio alongside the international release. It will be available as free downloadable content, according to a post on the PlayStation Blog. The English-language version was originally going to launch without Japanese vocal options, so this alteration should appease some otherwise disappointed fans. Atlus is also giving away a free Persona 5 PS4 theme for the next 24 hours as a bonus.”
