We’ve had Persona 5, we’ve had Persona 5 Royale, we’ve had Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight and in addition Persona 5 Strikers. That’s a lot of Persona 5, however Sega and Atlus determine we will deal with much more, as a result of one other spinoff has simply been introduced, this one referred to as Persona: Phantom of the Evening.
As Persona Central have translated, this one—with a shortened title of P5X—is a cellular sport being launched by Chinese language firm Good World Video games. Earlier than you go switching off at that like I virtually did, although, simply…take a look at this trailer:

I believe these clips look cool as hell. And the little owl! And everybody’s character designs! They’re good (long-time collection designer Shigenori Soejima labored on the primary character and owl sidekick, which might clarify that). This footage clearly appears to be like cool as hell as a result of it appears to be like identical to the Persona 5 we performed on consoles/PC, right down to the combination of exploration/classwork and turn-based fight, but it surely doesn’t actually appear to point out what sort of gacha, microtransaction or cost techniques are going to be in place, which in fact might be an absolute dealbreaker.

You play a highschool scholar whose dad and mom are “travelling overseas”, leaving you dwelling alone to juggle going to high school through the day and combating demons by night time, the trailer suggesting the story goes to observe a really related path as the primary sport, simply with a contemporary group of youngsters, teammates and doable social hyperlinks (although Joker and crew do make an look based mostly on a screenshot from the official website).
If you wish to see some extra of the wonderful character design work, you possibly can try the sport’s official website (although you’ll have to translate it because it’s all in Chinese language).
