Persona 5 will be releasing Early 2017 in NA
Many were hoping to play Persona 5, the upcoming JRPG by Atlus and the P-Studio this fall. They will if they live in Japan and can read Japanese text, but for people wanting to play an English version of the game, the wait is a bit long.
Atlus and SEGA announced that the game will be releasing February 2017 now. This is not strange, considering how other major JRPG’s like FFXV are releasing this Fall and one year too six months is the average wait for a Persona localization. Will update as the story develops.
