New details emerged about "Persona 5" during the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2016, which was held at the Los Angeles Convention Center in California. Atlus, the game publisher and developer, announced that the game will be released in Japan on Sept. 15, and a North American release is scheduled for Feb. 14, 2017.
N4BB reported that the highly anticipated role-playing game will arrive a few months from now, which thrilled its followers. However, the Japanese version will not come with an English subtitle but will be translated by the PlayStation 4 for other regions.
Similarly, the upcoming game will not be arriving on the PS Vita, similar to "Persona 4." The hardware components of the handheld gaming device will not be able to provide a satisfactory gaming experience, thus it was already skipped previously.
The upcoming game will be available for the PlayStation 3 for US$49.99 and PlayStation 4 version will be US$59.99. Fans committing to pre-order the PlayStation 4 edition of the game will have a collectible SteelBook case that will come with "Persona 5" art. Limited launch copies will also contain these bonuses, the company said on the PlayStation Blog.
Atlus is also offering a Premium Edition for the game, which is also exclusive to the PlayStation 4. The package will include a soundtrack CD with "P5" artwork, composed by Shoji Meguro. It will also include a 4-inch Morgana plush, a 64-page hardcover art book, SteelBook for the game disc, and a school bag that contains the Shujin Academy crest. The set is available for US$89.99, the post added.
In other news, TechRaptor reported that a fan in North America will be trying to learn the Japanese language within the next three months and plans to import the original release version of the game, which is in the Japanese language.
Unfortunately, European fans are left hanging since there is no news yet about the game's arrival on the continent.
