Atlus officially announced today that Persona 5: The Royal, which was teased several months back, will be coming to PS4 – killing the speculation that it would be released for the Nintendo Switch.
In a short teaser commercial debuted following today’s Persona 5 The Animation: Stars and Broadcast, there was a short scene of a new female character responding to the question, “What do you think of the Phantom Thieves.”
In Persona 5: The Royal, fans can look forward to play as a female character, contrary to the male character that everyone one must when the first version was released a couple of years ago.
More information about Persona 5: the Royal will be revealed on April 24 at the Persona Super Live Concert.
Here’s an overview of Persona 5, via a PlayStation Store listing:
RPG fans rejoice! Uncover the picaresque story of a young team of phantom thieves in this latest addition to the critically acclaimed Persona series.
