For months now ATLUS' website has stated that the hotly anticipated JRPG Persona 5 would release in 2015 for the PS3 and PS4. Today at the Tokyo Game Show (TGS), a new Persona 5 trailer was released that concluded with a Summer 2016 release date for Japan. That probably means Q2 2016 which is around 9 months away.
At least the latest trailer looks swag!

​

In the words of the mighty p1ngpong; I beg you don't cry!

 

[BORTZ]

Too late, already crying. Man, this sucks. I really thought this would be a great winter game.

 

[Chary]

Shame that it won't be out this year, but the game looks awesome. Doesn't make the pain of delay hurt any less though

 

[GameWinner]

I wish that I could turn back time
cos now the guilt is all mine
can't live without
the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
you can't forget love & pride
because of that, it's killing me inside

It all returns to nothing, it all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
It all returns to nothing, it all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down

 

[Master Xehanort]

Sucks, but i'd prefer a better finished product anyways and hopefully they stick with the Summer 2016 release!

 

[vayanui8]

You're killing me atlus ;(

 

[breaktemp]

Man...why not come out on STEAM/PC next year ?

The new tales game has already committed to this...but yeah, was really looking to play this during the winter holidays.

Does not make it better that Naruto-UNS4 got pushed back to February >_<"

 

[MegaAce™]

Take your time, Atlus, if you need it. Make it even better.

 

[Zerousen]

Fine by me. I still need to finish my play through of FES and replay of P4 anyways, haha. Also gives me more time to collect money for whatever collector's/limited edition set comes out

 

[Hyro-Sama]

Still hyped af. My boner will last until 2016.

 

[keven3477]

gives me time to actually catch up since I am barely playing the first game (just started yesterday on psp) and am enjoying it.

 

[Selim873]

Crap. At least I know I can work on Persona 4 Golden with the very little free time I have.

 

[Pedeadstrian]

Oh god... what if Zero Escape 3 and Persona 5 release at the same time...? Sophie's Choice...

 

[Hells Malice]

Looks crazy awesome...and also just plain crazy.

Delays suck but that's just approx 9 more months of awesome getting shoved into the game. I can wait.

 

[Radwan126]

No PS Vita huh ? well it's not that i am not gonna get it xD i don't like dubs tho

 

[BORTZ]

I've mentioned this before, but I am really glad to see that we are fighting demons again. The shadows were poorly designed IMO and the "personas" were far too confined to just you as the player. I still have no idea what the deal is with you and your friends. you look like thieves.

 

[Youkai]

love it when they use real places and remake them good enough to be able to actually see where it is ^^

I could clearly see shibuya there and not only because of 109

Oh Bortz, they are thieves.

 

[Pedeadstrian]

Oh Bortz, they are thieves.

Yeah, because the main character has apparently stolen so many hearts... *looks at your avatar*
