Popular Post Venocide Posted August 17, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) EU as well? I'll believe it when I see it. Persona 5 is still on track to release in Japan, the US and the EU this year, according to Atlus USA PR Manager John Hardin. “We don’t want another Shin Megami Tensei 4 or Devil Survivor Overclocked situation,” Hardin told GodIsAGeekin a recent interview, referring to the long delays the SMT franchise has seen in Europe. “We are very aware of what happens when we make premature announcements for Europe. At least I am. “The only thing I can confirm for Persona 5 is 2015," he said. It’s important to note that Hardin specifically refers to markets outside Japan in his discussion of Persona 5’s release , as it has yet to make its debut in the island nation as well. Quite notably, the official English site for the game also lists it for a 2015 release for PS3 and PS4. Unfortunately, Hardin did not address the rumor regarding a December date for the game. The notion first cropped up near the end of June with the news that the next edition of the Persona magazine, which historically releases in the same month as new games, will come this December. If nothing else, we can bet on ample Persona 5 coverage from this year's Tokyo Game Show. http://www.gamezone.com/news/atlus-says-persona-5-is-still-coming-to-the-west-in-2015-3423472 Edited August 17, 2015 by Venocide 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WidthOfACircle Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Fortunately, I keep forgetting about this game, so the wait has not been too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simply ahri Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 So I learned from my QA friend that Atlus EU games all get deferred to NIS America because collaborating JPN/US release of games is draining on Atlus JPN's staff. From what I know, Persona 5 has been thrown around the NIS America office already, so I'm thinking that they've gotten started? That's as far as I know, I probably still wouldn't get my hopes up. I personally don't mind since I have a huge backlog to get through anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 WUUUUT!? NA maybe, EU no freaking way (and I live in Europe >_<) However, Persona games are like that, they come out of the dark 2 months before release and you don't even know the main cast by the time they're out, pretty obscure promotional run, so we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFinalEmblem Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 It'd be awesome to still get the game this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroXOF Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I don't want the game to get swamped by the likes of Halo, Fallout, COD, Tomb Raider and Star Wars. I think 2016 would be a better year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintChris777 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Oh god why are you doing this to me???? This destroys my gaming schedule for the rest of the year. R.I.P. time management..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucknerd Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 If they don't say a solid date by Tokyo Game Show I give up. I was saving up some vacation days for when it came out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masamune Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Yes, get all your hopes up, so when it doesn't happen I can watch you all cry in agony... Wait, I'm waiting for this game just as much as the rest of you... Well, that backfired... Who knows though, if they're that confident, maybe it will happen? Best bet is December for the US though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wdjat Prinny Doods Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Can't say I believe it this will happen and I honestly hope it doesn't release here this year. Got Disgaea 5 in the fall and Xenoblade Chronicles X in December. Persona 5 would just be too much for me to handle doods 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantes_994 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 now Atlus when you say it will come to the west in 2015 do you mean EU as well? I know you hate us Anyway am I the only one that is terrified there will only be 4 playable characters? Also cannot wait!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobby Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Well I guess its possible, at least Squeenix didn't say it, otherwise we'd be waiting for 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quaedam_Animae Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Atlus is WAY BEHIND schedule if they really are still going for a western release this year so they need to hurry up and put it up for pre-order in the next couple of weeks if they want to still stick to that release window. now Atlus when you say it will come to the west in 2015 do you mean EU as well? I know you hate us Anyway am I the only one that is terrified there will only be 4 playable characters? Also cannot wait!!!!! No, Atlus doesn't hate Europe. If anything, Europe hates Atlus. See, Atlus doesn't have, and can't afford, a marketing firm in Europe so they have to rely on often incompetent third parties like Zen United to publish their games, along with the fact that, unlike Japan or America, Europe is made up of several countries and all have different standards when it comes to gaming and it's content among other things which makes it difficult. The fact that Atlus, a honestly small publisher, is even trying with Europe with all those problems is impressive to say the least. That doesn't sound like hate from Atlus at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) In Q4 2016 i guess. Still a bit optimistic, are we? I don't want the game to get swamped by the likes of Halo, Fallout, COD, Tomb Raider and Star Wars. I think 2016 would be a better year. It's those games that should be worried, though Anyway am I the only one that is terrified there will only be 4 playable characters? Also cannot wait!!!!! Nah, it wouldn't be Persona if you had only one waifu. Edited August 17, 2015 by Satoshi Ookami 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
