Persona 5 Announcement

Atlus is making waves today three brand new Persona games, One being a full-fledged entry into their cult-classic-turned-critically-acclaimed Persona series, two being spin-offs

First off, Persona 5, a long-rumored Persona entry that was due for the last-gen(because PS4 and Xbox One makes the current-gen), while all we know is that its due for the PS3, Winter of 2014 in Japan, if we're lucky, westerners will get it early 2015

Second is a Rhythm game for the Vita, Persona 4: Dancing All Night, set for an Autumn 2014 release in Japan, the game has been co-created between Atlus and Dingo. This makes the second spin-off for Persona 4.

 Lastly, is a 3DS game featuring characters from Persona 3 and 4 in Chibi form, its supposed to be an RPG, Persona Q: Shadow Of The Labyrinth is set for a 2014 release in Japan. This makes the second series spin-off containing the roster of both Persona 3 and Persona 4 Characters.

 

No words on Western releases for the games yet, but with the Persona series being popular, we're sure to see it localized soon.
