Good news gaming fans as the new trailer for Persona 5 has been revealed online.
Atlus has just showcased the new Persona 5 trailer during the "Persona Super Live 2015" event in Nihon Budokan as fans of the game series are dazzled by the animation, music, and gameplay of the fifth Persona title.
The new Persona 5 trailer showcased new characters, and gameplay as the plot of the game will likely be crime related similar to Persona 4. According to reports from AnimeNewsNetwork (via Famitsu), Persona 5 director Katsura Hashino that the characters will take on the persona of "Phantom Thieves", and is worried that fans might not like it due to having a similar theme with the Anime Lupin III.
Hashino further adds that not many novels and films portraying "phantom thieves" are not established properly, and he believes that a game is the best medium for the subject, because it allows players to empathize with the thieves and share their goals.
As for the plot of the game, Hashino revealed that the game will be mix of young adult fiction in a school setting with a picaresque novel as he stated that while the last game focuses on solving a murder case, and capturing the culprit, Persona 5 will likely see the Protagonist and his group being chased around because of their "ideal of justice."
"I think that, these days, it's not uncommon for people to not know what their future holds, or to have various worries, big and small. We may not be able to achieve happiness by just accepting the existing rules and values, but there are those lack the determination to topple the status-quo. That downside to modern society is one of the backbones of this game. In [a society] like that, these mischievous high school students are fighting back against the forces that hold them down."
In other news, details of Persona 5's release date have been revealed online.
It was previously reported last year, that Atlus will release Persona 5 in Japan, and in North America this year as reports from Cyebrland claimed that game will be on March 2015 in Japan, and the US launch will be sometime in May or June.
However, Product Review.net hinted that Atlus might announce Persona 5's release date at E3 2015. It could make sense since E3 is a major event for the whole gaming industry, and Atlus might step up to plate against other titles such Final Fantasy XV, Kingdom Hearts 3, Tekken 7, and many more.
Will Atlus announce release date of Persona 5 at E3 2015? Sound off in the comments section below.
