Venocide Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Persona 5, Atlus’ upcoming RPG for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, was previously slated for a 2015 release in Japan and North America. In the recent full year 2015 earnings release for SEGA SAMMY (the company that owns Atlus), Persona 5‘s release window has been revealed as an October to December 2015 launch, both in Japan and North America. SEGA SAMMY’s fiscal year 2015 ended in March 2015. The information of Persona 5‘s release window is apparent because SEGA currently has four confirmed Japanese packaged game titles announced for the first and second quarters of their fiscal year 2016 (inclusively, from April to September 2015): Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai Deluxe (3DS) [May 28, 2015]. Stella Glow (3DS) [June 4, 2015]. Alien Isolation (PS4/Xbox One) [June 11, 2015]. Persona 4: Dancing All Night (PS Vita) [June 25, 2015]. SEGA’s FY ending March 2016 forecasts through the second quarter indicate that four retail games will be releasing in Japan during that period, as well. This means that Persona 5 is included in the full year forecasts for the number of titles planned for release in Japan, and it will not release before September. SEGA’s fiscal year 2016 fourth quarter represents January, February and March 2016. Therefore, unless Persona 5 has once again been delayed into the next year in Japan—and they’ve recently stated that Persona 5 is still planned for a fiscal year 2016 release—it will be releasing during FY 2016 Q3, or between October and December 2015. http://personacentral.com/persona-5-release-window-revealed/ If it does come out around October I hope that includes Europe aswell.

memories_of_remy Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'm fully expecting release dates to be announced at E3. It's my number 1 most anticipated part of this year's event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boooda Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) If it does come out around October I hope that includes Europe aswell. Its confirmed WW is it not? Interesting find nonetheless. I really hope its earlier rather than later...the wait is killing me. EDIT: Quick glance at the OP indeed tells me its not confirmed WW, just NA and JP... That'd suck for a lot of people if it doesn't release in EU this year Edited May 11, 2015 by Boooda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venocide Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Its confirmed WW is it not? Interesting find nonetheless. I really hope its earlier rather than later...the wait is killing me. I haven't heard of a WW release. The article says the release window has been revealed as an October to December 2015 launch, both in Japan and North America. With the Persona games, Europe usually has to wait a few months (almost an entire year for the first Arena game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memories_of_remy Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Well isn't the series published by a different company in Europe? Not certain but I think I remember hearing someone say that so that might be why it doesn't show up in the report. Either way like I said above I'd just try to quell the hype until E3 where it's confirmed to be shown and will almost certainly get a release date.

Sucks living in a continent with so many languages, thats the only conclusion I can come to with why it takes so long. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesmaBR Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Fair enough, most of the US Atlus release pretty close to their japanese counterparts, so I can see P5 being like, 2 weeks after the japanese release If it does come out around October I hope that includes Europe aswell. I reeealy hope it isn't in October; Disgaea 5 and Persona 5 would break my wallet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undead Wolf Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 It worries me that they haven't announced that its coming to Europe yet, I really hope that us Europeans don't have to wait much longer than the Americans. I just know the wait is going to kill me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venocide Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Well, we'll wait and see. I don't wanna complain, it's I'm such big fan of the Persona games, I don't wanna wait too long after the rest of the world gets it. Well isn't the series published by a different company in Europe? Not certain but I think I remember hearing someone say that so that might be why it doesn't show up in the report. Either way like I said above I'd just try to quell the hype until E3 where it's confirmed to be shown and will almost certainly get a release date. SEGA publishes the Persona fighting games and I think NIS publish the rest. Edited May 12, 2015 by Venocide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naoto Shirogane Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Persona 5 planned for a 2016 release huh? I could've sworn the Persona 5 teaser said something about '2014 Winter for PS3' or some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last couple of years have been full of delays, people announce their games too soon Either way, guess 2016 is the year I finally get a PS4. Oh dear.

DeterminedArrow Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I just hope that if it comes out this fall/winter, it's not near the release of Tales of Zesteria. My poor wallet cannot take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royalredpanda Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I hope it's this year just because I have unused vacation left and my boss is pushing me to use it. Might as well use it and make an extended weekend for Persona 5. If not though, I'll just carry some days over 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Let us hope it is at least scheduled for this fiscal year, which includes Q1 2016. A release in 2015 would be GLORIOUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
