It's arguably not a point that's being made as much as it should be, but Persona 5 is a big deal for PlayStation. The Japanese role-playing game series is on the very cusp of becoming a smash hit, with Persona 4 being a critical and commercial success not just in Japan, but over here in the West, too.
Exclusive to PlayStation platforms, the stylish adventure has always been slated for a 2015 release, but now we've got an actual launch window to work with. Revealed during SEGA's 2015 earnings statement, the company's expecting the JRPG to release sometime between the beginning of October and the end of December this year, in both Japan and North America.
However, the worrying part is that Europe wasn't even mentioned. If Atlus' track record is anything to go by, we Europeans could be looking at a 2016 launch - in which case this particular author suggests that we pool our resources and commit to some sort of revolution.
In any case, are you hyped for Persona 5? Rob us blind in the comments section below.

A must buy game for me. I got very disaapointed with JPRGS those last years, but P4G was one of the best, if not the best Vita game for me, so P5 is something I look forward!
I can't wait for this! Other JRPGs I'm stoked for are Xenoblade Chronicles X, Star Ocean 5, and Fire Emblem x Shin Megami Tensai.
Luckily PS is not region locked so we can always import US copy
Day 1 buy!
Can't wait to play this on PS4. Glad to see they are planning to bring this to the West soon.
I can't get enough P5 news.. And hey, if any of you European folks need someone to send you some copies let a fellow Sony fellow know. I'll ship a whole crate of them if I have to! I'd want some assistance if I had to wait any longer for it.
For the love of god, Atlus. Bring Persona 5 to Europe this year. I am willing to make a sacrifice to you to make this happen. What do you want? Blood? Semen?
So yeah, importing it is.
Personaaaaaaa
Lotta good JRPGs on the way- Persona 5, SMT x Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy 15 and Xenoblade Chronicles X just to name a few.
I feel a resurgence of the genre on the horizon...
Can't wait!
I totally called this. Super pumped!!
One of the main reasons that make me buy my ps4
Hope it's true!
That's good news, P5 can't come soon enough. Will be buying launch day and a collector's edition of one is offered. Until then I suppose I could play through 3&4 again.
@JaxonH @JesWood13 You two speak the truth, though forgot Disgaea 5 ;3. The flood gates will be opening soon and we'll all be drowning in Nippon goodness.
@DVS
Since Atlus won't be reading this, it's probably best you just go ahead and send them a fine sample of both per mail. Who knows, maybe it'll work! Don't forget to include a return address so they can properly thank you!
Think I'm the only person that didn't get into Persona 4 (found it boring!) but I still wish I was excited for this as I know lots of people love it.
Music was cool tho...
