Sony’s TGS press conference had a big surprise for Persona fans: the upcoming sequel Persona 5 will be coming to Playstation 4 as well as Playstation 3. A new trailer showing the protagonist was also shown. The game will be released at the same time on both platforms in 2015.
One of the things many Atlus fans feared during the SEGA-Sammy buyout, was that SEGA would kill off the Atlus name and rebrand their titles under the SEGA logo. Seems that is not what will be happening, now Atlus is its own company, separate from Index Corps. To celebrate, we have a new logo (above). Forgot what the old logo looked like? Here it is.
Here is the new Atlus website and here is the new Index Holdings (who also got a new logo).
So, new logo or old? Tell us in the comments!
Remember that time an onslaught of Persona game announcements was posted on the front page? Well, all four of those announced games have been confirmed for an US release. The first two of those will be Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth for 3DS and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax for PS3 and Xbox 360, both of which will be released this Fall. Americans will have to wait a bit longer for Persona 5 (for PS3) and Persona 4: Dancing All Night (for Vita) though, as both of those games won’t be released in the US until 2015.
Sadly for European Persona fans, Atlus hasn’t announced anything regarding a release in Europe. Of course, this could change with Atlus now being a SEGA company, but we’ll have to wait and see if that will be the case. English trailers for Persona Q, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax and Persona 4: Dancing All Night can be found below after the jump.
After pissing off fans by announcing a bunch of Persona 4 spin-off games instead of Persona 5, Atlus finally announced that Persona 5 will be coming to Playstation 3 at the end of 2014. Like all of the other Persona games announced today, this release date is only for Japan. We don’t know when (or if) this game will be coming out in the US and Europe.
And yes, this is the last Persona game that was announced today.
Atlus has been teasing a big announcement this weekend, since a few months ago. Now we are getting closer to the reveal, so Atlus wants to keep fan’s attention with teasers. This latest brief teaser was on their livestream on Nico Nico Douga, check it out above.
Atlus will be fully revealing the title on Novemeber 24, that’s this Sunday. Are we going to post what the game is here on SEGAbits? You betcha! See you then, as for now, what do you think it is?
Some sneaky individuals found this ‘secret’ page on the Atlus website, depicting a ultrasound of a baby. What could this be? A teaser? Is it related to their planned announcement for Novermber 24th? Could this be the much awaited Persona 5?
So, what do you think this is about?
Besides the announcement of Persona 4 The Ultimax Ultra Suplex Hold earlier today, Atlus also put up a countdown site that opens up on November 24th, on which the next game by the team that made the Persona games will seemingly be revealed. This site was revealed by the official Persona Twitter account.
Also Index Corp registered a site for Persona 5 three months ago. Feel free to leave speculation for what this could be in the comments below.
