Persona 5 R Announcement Could Be Coming as Atlus Updates Website

Persona 5 on Switch most likely.

Persona 5 Royal?
Jk

If it's a update than I would like a type of option to upgrade my base game to it like in FF15.

Gonna say it would be a bit odd to ship out an enhanced port of a game you already have on the system.

Then again, Koei Tecmo exists...

But yeah this is most likely a "Persona 4 Golden" scenario.

Only this time probably not on the Vita.

Persona 5 Racing. Morgana-Bus anyone?? Honestly, I don’t think it’ll be an enhanced version and I think it’s more likely to be a fighting game.

@nessisonett the fighting game was already leaked as persona 5 arena or p5a (same leak that leaked p5r, joker for smash and that new fighting game by arc system which where all confirmed at a later date) and has been pushed to 2020.

I'd be very surprised if this turned out to be a Switch exclusive. Most Japanese third party stuff like this tends to hit both PS4 and Switch these days.

Edit: That's in the context of this being an actual updated version of Persona 5 (like Persona 4 Golden) and not just a Switch port with a few extras.

@get2sammyb I mean....if this is real and what half the internet thinks it is...I have no excuse to not play it.

I may need to join you on the "Nope" side if my pre-play feelings are anything to go by.

@get2sammyb Can I pay you to stop whining about Persona 5?

@kyleforrester87 Well I can just ban you

Come on guys it's obviously Persona 5 Remastered

@get2sammyb not looking forward to a minimum 80 hour play through again ? Lol

Still the best game on PS4 by far.

@kyleforrester87 500 Spider tokens or 500 atoms, pick your poison.

I haven’t even started a second play through for this game yet, and there’s possibly an update for this? Already so much to do on this game but I would welcome the update.

The R stands for Read more text.

@Kindaichi I think it's even the longest game on PS4 with 70hrs of TEXT. I still like it though, looking forward to my 3rd playthrough. Story was really good.

Brilliant. One of the best games to grace the PS4, and easily my favorite RPG on the system.

Hopefully it's an updated Switch port. In that case, I'd just hold onto my PS4 steelbook and nab the Switch version as well, so that I have both versions of the game.

I'm not expecting it, though. Atlus franchises almost never seem to go multiplat, and if they do, it's that way to begin with (like the original Catherine). SMT did jump ship from Sony to Nintendo, but considering how well Persona 5 did, I'm not expecting that to happen with this franchise.

So, more than likely, it'll be a Playstation exclusive.

@Kindaichi Stop debating. It just wasn’t the game for you, and if Persona 5 bores you that bad what was your point in tapping the article?

@Ralizah idk man...Persona Q2 being on 3DS, SMT 5 coming to Switch, Joker being in Smash...if Persona 5 R ends up on Switch I wouldn’t be surprised. A lot of devs are getting hip to the Switch, even Bayonetta is now a Switch exclusive, but we’ll see

My problem was the repetitive text. Like Morgana says " hey you're tired you need to sleep" how's a cat dictating your life, restricting the open worldness. And then more and more text;
Morgana: Let's head back and prepare.
Ann: True, we need to go back and get stronger.
Ryuji: So we're heading back?
Fox: it's a great idea we're heading back.

Like others have said, I'd guess it's a Switch port, as I don't see why they would remaster it so soon after the original release, as well as the fact that it's not really the the style of graphics that needs an upgrade! Personally, I'd like to see it ported to Vita, but I doubt that will ever happen.

@MistressTonberry Persona 3 got a hugely updated re-release on PS2 some years after the launch of the original version, too. So it'd hardly be unprecedented.

Looking forward to be grounded by my cat again. No but seriously they would have to give me something really good (female lead?) to make me play this one again

It won’t sell as much on Switch as PS4, so it’ll definitely be on PS4. The questions is if it’ll even be on Switch. I’m hoping the graphics for the areas and streets around the world are improved, so a Switch version better not mess that up by it being a priority.
I’m pumped though. I’ll get it day-one as long as I can use my new game plus for it. I’m not losing that. I’m not raising those social stats again. No no no. I’m gonna have the time to see all the social links this time.

There have been many rumors about Persona 5 on the Switch with translators saying that it's pretty much confirmed at this point. Updated features were also mentioned so it will probably release as the standard version for Switch and "remaster" for PS4.

@ShogunRok @get2sammyb So assign him to write a second opinion of Persona 5:R because then he’ll be getting paid?

@OmegaYato Bayo 1 is on Xbox One via Backwards Compatibility (it’s the definitive CONSOLE ver of the game) and Steam.

This is a dumb comment section.

Also, this is probably a 3 FES/4 Golden situation, where they'll add more from the base game. Will likely release on both PS4 & Switch when it comes out.

It's probably Persona 5 Red, cause the updated version of 4 was golden, so this would make sense. I reckon it will definitely come to Switch, but it won't be exclusive

I really enjoyed it at the time but I can't remember much about it. P4G, on the other hand, is unforgettable.

@darkswabber P5A is the anime.

@get2sammyb Persona 5 Ramsey Was Apparently Wrong Along with Everyone Who Contributed to Its 94 Metascore and Awarded It Game of the Year 2017 on This Very Website

@Miles_Edgeworth Yeah, that’s along the lines that I was thinking — the thematic color scheme for P4 was yellow, then they released P4: Golden ....so since red is the color theme for P5, then I was guessing P5: Ruby.

Of course it will be Persona 5 aRena

The R must be the rating system they use for movies

Re-something... But i highly doubt it’s remastered.
What on earth would be the point? It’s fine as is.
Most likely a Switch included version. You’ll all get it (just avoid entitled PS4 whiners) and, no doubt, Sony will undercut Nintendo in the digital store because they always bloody do.

I still haven’t finished it the first time around... need to fix that

Also, I do not understand the preference for P4.
Played both through and enjoyed each equally.

@Derpie1 Where is Bayonetta 2 & 3?

@Jaz007 You’re on one if you think a game like Persona 5 wont sell as much on Switch. Switch is like a haven for JRPGs

@Ralizah Good point! I just thought it was a bit soon for P5 remaster as the graphics already look amazing, but I guess they might have content to add to the game like with the 3 and 4.

@OmegaYato Let’s look at the install bases. PS4 is just as much a haven as Switch, just with a lager install base. A much larger install base. PS4 still gets more JRPGs too.

@OmegaYato I’m only talking in the sense not all of em are only on Nintendo...

@Jaz007 @OmegaYato >comparing a 2 year old console to a 5 year old console...

You can only pump so many games in both...

yeah that’s as fair as saying the PSP is a failure cus it didn’t sell 100M units...

Persona 5 is still somewhere in my backlog and I was planning on getting started with it when I get back home in the new year, so I'll skip whatever P5R might be for now.

@TheArt Open world is not a term I'd ever think of to describe P5. You're not wrong about the repetition though. Watching the anime, I kept thinking "Wow, that conversation went a lot quicker than in the game while conveying all the same information!" Still, I miss everyone's ramblings now that I'm done...

@eltomo Lol they just replace every time Ryuji says "effing" with the actual word and change nothing else.

well i STILL haven't got round to getting this yet (been working through my backlog) but if a newer updated version is one the way then i think i'll wait until that's out

@SKC_Diamond Persona 5 Rrrr....remastered, coming first to the PS5 as a launch title in 2020. Quite apt, if you think about it.
Or Persona 5 Rrrrr Pirate Edition.
Take your pick.

@turntSNACO Yep it's so restrictive and the days keep fast forwarding beyond your control it can be annoying.

@Vonuz where are those translators because i've never saw anyone saying a switch version is coming except fanboys saying it will come because joker is on smash.
And even persona central debunked that rumor.

@Derpie1 It’s not supposed to be fair. That 5 Vs. 2 year will factor in with the install base, and it helps the PS4 sell more copies. It wasn’t a matter of if it would sell enough copies on the Switch to make it worth it or if the port would be a failure though, just which one would sell more copies.

@Jaz007 for Japan it’s not like they won’t budge it’s more like they have it already same w the West... do I think P5 will sell millions on Switch? Nah maybe a few thousand... now if P6 came to both systems I can see Switch getting some sales... although now Switch is getting both SMT & Persona Which prob isn’t fair but I guess business...

Although I can see Joker as a fighter helping Smash sales cus sometimes

One fighter
One game
One little thing

Can push someone into doing something like buying a game they initially had little interest in or go as far as buying a console, the game, a Season Pass, an Amiibo, and even an Online Service (Which is crazy)... (that’s $400+)

@Jriibz SMT V devs actually had a statement on why it’s on Switch... because of the portability aspect, now they could lie... it could possibly come to PS4 but not sure... since some devs do actually tell the dang truth... not all but some...

@Jriibz I think Joker would come to a PlayStation All Stars BR 2 if that happened as Persona is more associated w PlayStation but Sony seems to have no plans to bring that fighter back... it seems

@Jriibz P5 is on PC!? Didn’t know that man...

Also I did say they CAN lie but devs can also tell the truth...

ps4 owners are NOT going to re-purchase persona 5 for a few tiny updates. whatever is in this new release will get a patch on psn for those with the base game (not free most likely). there could also be a switch release, sure.

@Porco it’ll prob be a DLC for P5 prob $10-$20. Switch owners gotta pay the full $60... I wonder if it’ll come w all costumes and extra Personas included (even if that makes the game incredibly easy but hey this could be some people’s first Persona game)...

yea, if it's just cosmetic items, i couldn't care less. even if there is a new playable character i won't be replaying this 100 hour game ever again. i was actually a bit disappointed by some aspects of it when compared to p3 and p4.

@Hapuc MysticDistance from Persona Central among others have stated that they are 99% sure that it will come to Switch based on information they got. All of that was before the new domains.

@Vonuz
https://twitter.com/Persona_Central/status/1071629169581264896

You were saying?

And Oh who are those Others?

@Porco We’re talking about a fanbase that supports rhythm games and fighting game spin-offs. It’s also been done before with P3 and P4. Both got enhanced releases on the PS2 after they originally released on PS2. And as I understand, both sold well enough. It’s also gonna be more than “a few tiny items”. There will be new characters and story. And honestly, if I’m gonna plunge another 100+ hours in, I’ll rebuy at a higher price.

@Jaz007 true, p3 on ps2 got the FES version but i would compare that to a GOTY release. it then got a psp release with lots of extra content. when a game gets ported to a new platform, it makes sense to give it an entirely new release, otherwise a simple patch will do. p4 did not get a second release on ps2 or psp, though. it eventually got a true re-release on the vita. p5 has very little content outside of the base game worth caring about so a GOTY edition is out of the question. if they are planning a true re-release with lots of extra story content and a new character, they might as well save it for ps5 or the supposed switch release. but we'll see.

@Hapuc I've said MysticDistance who writes for Persona Central and translates japanese news among other random people on social media claimed to have knowledge of a Switch port for some time. It's far from a confirmation but the rumors are getting closer to being correct.

@Vonuz Dude a guy who writes for persona central and who is a known for being smash fanboy came up with that after the smash dlc was announced then the rest of the guys said No who also write for the same site dude please.
And give us those rumors where are those rumors coming from the only legitamate rumor that cane is arena game and some game like golden or fes and that game will be ps exclusive.

@Kindaichi Which brings the question of why you’re visiting an article about s game you didn’t like as much as anyone else.
