Wow, how about the industry just stops for a second and gives us some time to breathe? The big news just keeps on coming, but this is perhaps one of the most important stories of the last few days: Persona 5 has a confirmed release date in North America. Hurrah!
That's the good news. The bad news is that despite Atlus saying multiple times that the super stylish role-playing game is heading West this year, the date that we've been given is the 14th February, 2017. Damn and blast!
Still, Persona 5 actually has a legitimate launch date – can you believe it? It's also coming to both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 – can you believe that? Dump your Valentine's Day plans in the comments section below.

I have this in the meantime
Not interested in the game but saw the comment 'how about the industry just stops for a second and gives us some time to breathe?' I think its only going to get 'busier' in the run up to E3, E3 itself and of course the aftermath...
no news of a UK release yet then
I live in New York city.so I will get the game.but wow we Valentine's day.I got to spend time with my girlfriend
Good thing I'm single (and probably still will be come Valentines).
@BAMozzy
Suppose I've got my plans for Valentines, but here's hoping we don't have to wait too long for a UK release date.
@FullbringIchigo Thankfully we'll be able to easily get a US copy on eBay. Fear not!
hampered by the ps3...shame. I understand why they are doing it, to amass as many sales as possible, but it still feels like it will be a little less than what it could have been if it was only developed for the ps4. ah, what could have been.
@Jake3103 true but now a days we shouldn't have too, if an english version is done then it should be released in ALL english territories
@get2sammyb LMAO - gotta love Taylor!!! oh... and the memes
Its only going to get much busier over the next week or two....
Valentine's day?what's that? Only seven hours into persona Golden so I can wait for this but um..no uk release?
It's fine, I guess. There are already several Atlus games releasing this year, and I have a sneaking suspicion that we'll probably be hearing about an Etrian Odyssey Untold 3 at E3 as well.
I really hope Gravity Rush 2 and TLG are still on-track for 2016, though.
Bit disappointed as there's still no EU release date, but not surprised. Guess I'll have to get the US version.
@get2sammyb hey Sammy did you ask Taylor swift out already shes single and available.what are you waiting for.hahaha word up
Still no European release Atlus you suck bigtime.
Expected 2017 for Western release, still disappointed, but at least it's Q1.
Will be importing for sure. Unless Europe decides to release it the same month...
If all the gaming news is getting to be too much for you guys you can always take a break and go spend some time over at sister site Ntineod Life, somebody made a drone controller out of a Powerglove, that's the big news for today.
@JaxonH Well at least now you'll have VD plans.
I am very salty right now. I was hoping it'd come by year end 2016...
@JoeBlogs Friday is NX rumour day, the rest of the week they have the history of the Gameboy. And some indie games nobody ever asked for.
Yesterday we did get 3 new game articles, all about Yooka-Laylee, and it was the happiest I've seen people on there in awhile.
I ordered the Japanse Collectors Edition today because I'm a fool, maybe it'll have English subtitles ;') I couldn't resist the art book nor the soundtrack that was included.
I'll definitely pick up the CE of the Western version too, I'm kinda hoping the US and EU will her different versions
we all know this will end up being autumn 2017 roght
we all know this will end up being autumn 2017 roght
@rjejr lol poor old NintendoLife, I feel sorry for them, they've got nothing to write about, no news, no games! I used to visit there daily but rarely check it out each week these days.
RIP Nintendo
at least we have a strong start for 2017 with Horizon, Persona and possible Bloodstained ritual
It's not Valentine's Day on Brazil, so I'm good. Also, really happy that it's still coming for PS3, so I'll be able to actually play it without having to upgrade.
So horizon zero dawn and persona 5. Welp, february 2017 is gonna be busy month.
Wow Q1 2017 has more exciting games than Q4 2016 IMO. I think we are seeing a shift in when huge releases come out. Persona 5, Horizon Zero Dawn, Zelda Wii U/NX, and Yooka-Laylee all Q1!
Yay! Fire Emblem Fates this year and now Persona 5! February best month for jRPGS.
@Ralizah TLG was just last week confirmed to make 2016. Hurrah!
Anyone that makes plans for Valentines day is a twonk. Don't much like that case art.
@Boerewors Why would it? Japanese people generally don't understand English anyway. Sometimes the Hong Hong versions have English subs tho,
@JoeBlogs To be fair though, Atlus made Persona 4 on a shoestring budget. They didn't have the budget to do anything new with the engine (Persona 4 is pretty much Persona 3 running different models and maps based on the amount of reused code and stuff! haha) I don't think they could afford to put it on the ps3.
Well I'll be importing this rather than waiting forever for a European release date
"Still, Persona 5 actually has a legitimate launch date – can you believe it? It's also coming to both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 – can you believe that?"
I can believe all that. What would be unbelievable would be Atlus giving an European release date.
Anyway, don't make me choose between this and Horizon cause this one is gonna lose.
So many games are taking forever to come out. This, final fantasy 15 and 7, kingdom hearts (years and years), dragons quest 11, damn.
Good to be a (North) American.
Atlus says: screw you Europe.
@rjejr
Got the collector's edition locked in, yessir! You know me too well 😆
