Phwoar, we've finally been given another look at Persona 5 thanks to Atlus' earlier live broadcast. The title's newest gameplay trailer is an absolute feast for the eyes, stuffed with cutscenes and battle footage. We've said it once and we'll say it again: phwoar.
The franchise has always been on the cutting edge of style, but it looks like the Japanese developer has really pulled out all the stops with its latest project. We're especially liking the looks of the dungeons that are on display, and the enemy designs are top notch, as per usual. What's more, we also get a look at several new party members.
Has this latest trailer got you hyped? Pull off a flawless heist in the comments section below.

Oke, this next to uncharted 4 can be a sole reason to own a ps4.. ( although it's also coming to ps3).
The anime geek in me is screaming like a little girl:D
@Sanquine In Japan, anyway. I think the chances of this coming West on PS3 are slim to none.
@ShogunRok
Good! I just hate cross gen games and i hope the PS4 version blows the ps3 version away.
Off topic: When will the port begging begin ? ( NX wink wink)
I said in the stream that many games may look technically better and more impressive then this but you would have to go a long way to find an artsyle that's this stylish.
@adf86 They may not be as good technically but compared to their Western counterparts, I feel like visual style is what Japanese developers are really good at.
Put this in my veins. I need it now!!!!
@adf86 This. Polygon shifting is great when it's done well, with decent art direction. This however is just pure art direction from the ground up. Even the UI just blows my mind - incredible. Then there's the fact that these games are just as much fun to play as they are to look at, and...well, I'm ridiculously excited. Need this game.
What the heck did I just watch?
That was awesome, I want!
It looks so damn good!
Kinda looks Japanese eh?
@SegaBlueSky @WanderingBullet Totally agree, I'm all for style over technical prowess, and that's why I lean more towards Nintendo and Japanese developers in general. Style is timeless, while technical power inevitably gets old.
On a side note, this is one of those games that will make me buy a PS4 eventually 😄
Looks absolutely gorgeous.
I only fear for the EU release with the whole Sega mess and NIS not publishing Atlus games any longer here. At least the PS4 is region free as I'm not getting this digital.
@JoeBlogs Yeah, that's never going to happen....
200 hours are waiting for you baby!
Never played a Persona game, but this looks wild!
@JoeBlogs Well I certainly would buy it again as well.
As long as it's on a Japanese system, I'm fine as I buy all the ones that Sony and Nintendo release anyway. Stopped giving MS money after the 360 and really don't miss them at all. Certainly not with Cave not making MS exclusive shoot 'em up ports anymore.
But Bayonetta 2 development was payed for my Nintendo, so it's a long shot to say the least. Unless they dump their hardware plans altogether and create a partnership with Sony. Which is a longshot in and of itself.
@JoeBlogs God no.. Played the first bayonetta and it felt like Dmc with a sexy Woman as main character. Persona is so much morey
@JoeBlogs ah! now we are talking...one of the few reasons I still keep my WiiU around.
This game is the reason I got a PS4. And so far, it looks utterly incredible. Even the menu porn is on point: all those sharp edges and bold colors!
SE can keep FFXV. This is the only PS4 JRPG I need in my life.
That was a very thick trailer! So much info about the system, dynamics and environments. I'm so hyped now!
Music is already some of the best in the series imo. Wow I can't wait.
It feels so good being a PS4 owner right now. I'm hoping this drops in early 2017, so I can have FF15 out of the way. Has vita remote play been confirmed for this?
Don't care for the trailer i want to hear about a European release....
European release date please, I want this so much more than final fantasy
couldn't........stop......watching....arrghhh!!!!
So does this mean it will be released on 16th Sept in Europe too?
@BodyW-outOrgans play p4. Its an amazing experience.
Persona 4 Golden is amazing... AMAZING. I keep telling people how good it is and to buy a Vita for it but they never listen. Sigh Some people will never experience all the great games I play and it makes me sad.
@Sanquine
Hey, no shame in port begging! People see a game they like, they do what they can to obtain it. Although personally, I find it much easier to just own everything and save your energy
I don't think NX will get this game. Unfortunately. But, there is Tokyo Mirage Sessions releasing in June which is very much styled after a Persona game (well, it is a Shin Megami Tensei game after all, which explains it). Don't think it'll be as good as Persona 5 but, at least people on the other side of the fence have access to a similar game (not that many seem to be interested in buying it though- I tell them it's gonna be like Persona and if they'd actually played Persona they'd be excited too- I'm excited but, Im in the minority it seems).

This is going to be great, really does look fantastic.
drools
I want this.
@JaxonH I'm actually really excited to play Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, but I played Persona before and I love ATLUS' games.
I'm looking forward to playing Persona 5, but I hope they also release the PS3 version over here. I don't want to buy a PS4 just for this, but I know I will if I have to...
This is such a good year for video games. A great Kirby game, the third Zero Escape game, an SMT game, a new SMT spinoff for Wii U, a mainline Persona game... Lord help me find the time to play all these games!
