'Persona 5' release date update: Game to hit shelves in Q4?

Persona 5 Atlus

Atlus won't reveal when "Persona 5" will be released but the company's financial reports hinted at a release window. The documentation states that the latest PlayStation-exclusive role-playing video game is part of the company's final offerings this year. This means that the game will hit the shelves sometime between October and December. Should the estimation prove imprecise, Sega Sammy's financial reports guarantees that "Persona 5" will show up before Atlus' fiscal year ends in March 2016. 

This release window is applicable to both Japan and the U.S. The game studio has repeatedly stated that the installment will be rolled out in America around the same time it is released in its home fort Japan. The release date for the two countries are expected to not be too far apart. 

Gamers who fear the grueling wait need not fret. The only missing piece in the puzzle is the exact release date. Atlus has yet to make things official but its financial reports, at least, narrowed down the choices. 

"Persona 5" follows a group of high-schoolers with special abilities. Players will engage in turn-based combat as they attempt to uncover the terrible secrets that lurk in the various worlds they will have to trudge. Gamers will often find themselves in dungeons where challenges await them. 

A gameplay trailer for the title released three months back shows that players will have to assume the role of teen vigilantes who use their abilities to bring down a whitewashed government. Movie Pilot is confident that the characters will be major swaying elements to the game. 

"Persona 5" is exclusive to PS4 and PS3. Fans are eager to see how the latest iteration ties up with the previous ones, which were all loved by gamers who had the chance to explore the world of the super-charged pack of youngsters.
