Persona 5 getting at least a couple of spin-off games is an inevitability -- especially considering its worldwide success -- but what could they end up being? That's a question that leads to some very interesting theories, as Atlus has recently registered a bunch of Persona related domain names. One suggests a new Dancing All Night title, while another potentially hints at a new dungeon crawling Persona Q game.
However, we're most interested in p5r.jp, a domain that Japanese-to-English translator and Persona fan MysticDistance has just discovered. Obviously, the R in P5R doesn't match up with any existing spin-offs, so it's got people wondering whether it's an indication of an eventual enhanced edition of Persona 5, in the same vein as Persona 4 Golden. It certainly seems like a possibility.
Persona 5 Racing? We wouldn't say no to that, either.

Persona 5 Racing would be bizarre (and amazing), but I kinda hope that it isn't an expanded version of the main game already - it feels too soon. At the very least, if that is what they're up to, then I hope we can get it as a DLC expansion rather than a whole new release like Golden.
Man, I'm really thinking about that racing game, now...keep imagining it as some amazing mix of Persona 5 and the anime Redline!
Persona 5 Revengance, developed by Platinum. That I could get on board with.
@KratosMD Ah, I'd forgotten about the Switch. I mean, if it can run on PS3 then it should be feasible, right? Have to admit, I'd kinda love to have it on Switch as well...
Isn't there talk of a potential TV series based on PS5? Maybe that's it?
I hope it's persona 5 fighting game.
Persona 5 racing? Oh please be true!
It'll be awesome if it really does come to the Switch. Not holding my breath, though.
Persona 5 Racing... I'd check it out, but it's not something I readily imagine. Then again, they've done dancing games before.
"R" sounds more suggestive of a remake indeed - and I'm all the more excited about the possibility since there's no point in releasing one on the same platform a mere year after. This could mean Vita, Switch (making it the first numbered Persona on Ninty hardware) or maybe even both. Any of these options will make the game playable without RP for me and render pretty much the entire Persona subfranchise portable at last. :3
Although PC ports have been quite recurrent in Japan lately as well, so I'm tempering my expectations for now.
Persona 5 Rouge/Red as an expanded edition? Another option could be Persona 5 Rumble, the inevitable fighting game.
If they do an update of Persona 5 with a couple of new characters or whatever, I'll buy it again, play it again, platinum it again, and have absolutely no regrets.
@PaperyWhiteBoy They did announce an anime a few days ago scheduled for 2018.
A remake less than a year since it's released? No thanks.
There is a big Persona 5 concert taking place in Japan tomorrow. I think I heard that there was going to be a big announcement, so we may not have to wait too long to find out.
Personally hope it isnt an expanded version of the game already. It is far too soon. I think the switch rumours could be fairly accurate. And it would be unlikely to be released until the autumn - so a full year after it launched on ps4 in Japan, so if there was a timed exclusivity period that might be up.
I am still keeping everything crossed for a dancing all night 2 on vita (which would likely also go to switch). Love the original. And Atlus haven't forgotten about vita clearly, given the number of times it pops up in game during persona 5.

Which rumors about switch?
Really tempted for quite some time already to purchase P5, even more so with all the great things I keep hearing & reading...just not entirely sure I'll love it. I really enjoyed turn based combat in Child of Light but haven't played any other game similar to that. Am also a huge fan of JRPG's in general...any indicator whether I should go for it?
@Hapuc ha not really rumours, but lots of people are talking about it being a possibility online. Nintendo getting alot of shin megami tensei games atm, so I suppose its possible? Though I dont think a mainline persona has ever been on non-playstation platform so who knows.
@Rob_230
Hardly for Switch hell they didn't even want to port Golden on 3DS or Wii U when it was fresh hardly for a switch announcement and didn't John Hardin said himself Only on PS i mean my friend has persona it says only on Playstation if that is some kind of indication.
Switch is getting that SMT that was announced at their Livestream and Redux is for 3ds i don't know is there a switch version of that game
And wasn't SMT always on Nintendo consoles and Persona on PS.
@Hapuc Nocturne and a number of spin-offs appeared on the PS2.
Persona has always been on Playstation consoles, though, which is why I still have my doubts.
@Ralizah Basically never say it may come to Switch because as history shows thats about as likely as a bright pink sky.
But but... I want the enhanced edition to be called "P5: Crimson"! Could be Ruby
I do hope they wait a while before releasing an enhanced edition of this game, though. Golden was cool because they took the time to really overhaul a lot of little things and make it an overall much nicer experience. Would Atlus even have that kind of perspective yet?
@BLP_Software (at the risk of annoying Sammy...) Considering how disastrous the Wii U was and how well the Switch has been selling, I think it's fair to say that we'll probably see a lot of these third party games migrate back over the next couple of years.
@Ralizah
Well true but let's be honest PS2 was killing everything in sight so making it exclusive to other console is suicide but after ps2 era i don't think any smt appeared anywhere near PS consoles.
I heard they have a deal with Atlus but don't quote me on that,is it strange that all anime are done by Aniplex/A-1 studio and i heard they renewed the contract last year when they released P5
My guess would be Persona 5 Ruby. It's a precious material that matches with the pallet of P5 (red), just like Golden matched with P4's pallet (yellow). It could certainly be racing, though. There's already driving in the base game, kinda.
Whatever it is, I just hope Atlus doesn't go too crazy with spinoffs like they did with P4. I'd rather they try to move on to the next major series title more quickly than before. As awesome as P5 is, I don't think it's a game that should have taken so long to come out like it did, and P4's milking had a hand in that, I'm willing to bet.
Possible Rabbids crossover?
