The clock is up and ticking on the Persona 5 website! After being delayed for a 2016 release and no apparent news update, Atlus is now teasing us with a cryptic countdown. At the time of writing, it is at more than 300 hours. That's less than 2 weeks! What do you think will be announced at the end of this wait?

Can't they just release a patch for PS4 Neo?
It's dumb if they make other users wait, just like Mighty No.9

I'm pretty sure they were being sarcastic. And besides, (I haven't paid attention to P5 news because I want to go in as blind as possible but) didn't they just delay it to 2016? So technically it won't be another delay if they release it this year.

I believe that but isn't atlus's fanbase on the consoles more than the pc?

Well, when 99% of their releases are console-only, I'm not sure you can have any different scenarios now can you?

I can't wait for the news . Probably a new trailer, and hopefully some gameplay.

While I would like to see a PC realease, not only for P5 but also for all of the Persona games, most likely is going to take a while, if ever.

Everything's coming out on PC nowadays. By the end of 2016, PC game sales will have surpassed all console game sales. Square Enix and all their Steam Final Fantasy releases are the perfect case-in-point for why there should be PC ports.
I do hope this is enough incentive for a Persona 5 PC release. With PC releases of games like Final Fantasy XV not out of the question, why not??

That image looks like the cover of a racing game for some reason.

Weird, it's ~35 hours until the time they posted (5/5 9:30PM JDT, or 5:30AM PDT), but the timer says 50 hours left. Is the stream gonna last 16 hours?

maybe some time zone shenanigans

Hmm... well, the timer is accurate if you assume the time is for 5/5 9:30PM PST, but that'd be kinda silly for a Japanese website to use an American time zone. Odd...

hint at a world wide simultaneous release (except for Europe ofc.)?
