Double serving of good news for fans of the role Made in Japan and, especially, of the Persona saga: the official Atlus accounts confirm the promising future of the franchise through new trailers that seem to have appeared ahead of time: a highly rumored remake and a new adventure for the Phantom Thieves. The best? As shown, in addition to reaching consoles and PC they will be released directly in the Game Pass.
The videos have already been removed, but they have not gone unnoticed by fans of the saga, who via Instagram o Twitter They have managed to rescue some sneaky previews of each game that, coincidentally or not, appear on the eve of the Xbox Games Showcase. Which brings us to the real question: what games are we talking about?
The Persona 3 remake is not a rumor
Released in July 2006, Persona 3 It is one of the installments that led the saga to its international success. Logically, a lot has happened since then, so its very recent reissues for current systems were based on Persona 3 Portable. According to the leaked trailer, Atlus will finally give the delivery a new treatment.
titled Persona 3 ReLoad, its development is in the hands of P Studio and what is truly interesting is that will use the Unreal Engine so that it is visually on par with the most recent installments both aesthetically and playably. However, seen what I’ve seen will have to wait until 2024 to play.
Persona 5 Tactics
We’ve seen the Phantom Thieves dance, fight and, of course, experience an epic student odyssey with paranormal overtones in the code of JRPG. whatThe next crazy thing they will embark on? A tactical RPG in which the traditional turn-based combat will gain new nuances of strategy and, in the process, our protagonists will receive a more casual style.
As shown, the game known as Persona 5 Tactics it will expand the known story and we will start playing in a matter of months. More specifically, the November 17 of this same year. More or less coinciding with the third anniversary of the launch of the new generation, everything is said.
Persona, a saga that is increasingly popular in the West… and also on Xbox
To the saga Persona It gained enormous popularity and that well-deserved boost to the general public as a result of the success of Persona 5, but -beyond the spin-offs- it was necessary to wait until 2022 for it to be published on systems such as Nintendo Switch, PC and Xbox, where It has entered fully through Game Pass, consolidating the good relations of Microsoft and SEGA.
What’s more, it is currently possible to play both Persona 3 Portable such as Persona 5 Royal from PC or Xbox. And in fairness, considering that the latest one offers over 150 hours of gameplay, perhaps that’s a sure sign that you’re starting to catch up on the story.
That said, and despite the fact that these announcements were withdrawn, Atlus has not officially confirmed both games. Judging by what was shown, in fact, it is quite likely that the surprise was saved for the imminent Xbox event. Which does not take away the possibility that both will reach Nintendo Switch or PlayStation.
¿It must have been a thing of the naughty Futaba, the Phantom Thieves hacker? In any case, it is clear to us that the Persona saga and its protagonists still have good adventures to resume and missions in which it will be worth getting involved. And while it’s not too early to talk about Persona 6While projects like this arrive, the wait becomes lighter.
