    Phantom thievery

    Unsurprisingly, all of Persona 5's downloadable content will be making its way West following the game's release on the 4th April. European publisher Deep Silver has confirmed as much over on Twitter, so you can be safe in the knowledge that you won't be missing out on all that premium clutter Japan got last year. We say clutter,...

  • News Persona 5's Soundtrack Is as Brilliant as You'd Expect

    Get up, get out there

    The Persona series has some of the best, most memorable music in gaming - and we're not sure many people would argue with us on that one.

  • News Persona 5 Snatches Dual Audio on PS4, PS3 as Free DLC

    Turning Japanese

    Persona 5's been delayed. Yeah, we're disappointed, too - but at least it seems like Atlus is trying to release the very best game that it can here in the West. Case in point: the role-playing title will now feature dual audio as free downloadable content, meaning that you'll be able to play the game with either the English dub or...

    Back into the shadows

    Bah. There was a rumour earlier this week saying that Persona 5 would be slapped with a delay here in the West, but the source wasn't something that we could base a report on. Sadly, that doesn't matter anymore, because Atlus has now confirmed that the role-playing release really has been delayed in both North America and...

    Cat burglar

    Just like Teddie in Persona 4, Persona 5 has its own animal mascot in the form of the chipper and cheeky Morgana - and we get to see more of the feline hero in the game's latest character trailer. We're not entirely sold on his English voice just yet, but we're not going to cast judgement based on a video that's this short. Do you think...

    Second in command

    Oooh, another Persona 5 character trailer has arrived. This time we get introduced to Ryuji, who seems to be the typically enthusiastic member of the group.

To be totally honest with you, it sounds pretty much exactly as we expected, and given that the series has had plenty of good...

  • News Persona 5 Brings Back the Very Easy 'Safety' Difficulty Setting

    Fun for everyone

    In Persona 4 Golden, Atlus introduced a difficulty setting know as 'Safety'.

  • E3 2016 Persona 5 Won't Have a Japanese Voice Option in the West

    Dub snubbed

    Bad news if you're a fan of original Japanese voice work: Persona 5 will only feature English voice acting here in the West, with no option to change it. Not a massive surprise, perhaps, seeing as both Persona 3 and Persona 4 didn't have an optional Japanese dub either, but a slight disappointment nonetheless. However, we reckon it's...
