Okay, now things are getting a little more complicated. Following on from the news that Atlus had moved its P5R (Persona 5 R) website domain to its own servers -- prompting speculation of an imminent game announcement -- the company has now gone and registered several more domains through a marketing company.
The new domains include Persona5B.jp, Persona5M.jp, and Persona5S.jp, alongside abbreviated versions of each.
So what the heck does this mean? Well, at this point your guess is probably as good as ours. Companies make a habit of registering multiple website domains ahead of time, either because projects aren't finalised or they're just looking to snap up everything that could potentially relate to their product.
The fact that all of these domains are differentiated by a single letter could suggest that Atlus hasn't decided on a name for whatever this Persona 5 project is, or perhaps it's looking to make multiple versions of the same thing. Heck, knowing Atlus, these domains could be for anything, from spin-off titles and anime adaptations to live concerts and fan events.
In any case, this is one to keep an eye on over the coming weeks and months.

For @get2sammyb's sake I seriously hope P5R, P5B, P5M, and P5S are all different updated versions of Persona 5.
Maybe it's Persona 5 Remastered, Persona 5 Battle, Persona 5 Mobile, and Persona 5 Switch?
Honestly at this point they may just be moving domain names in the same way the Pokemon Company does. People talked about Grey and Delta Emerald, they got registered, never became a thing.
People have talked about "P5R" in recent weeks. Maybe Atlus simply took the domain name to keep it. Not unheard of.
I certainly don't expect anything Persona 5, and it sure as hell isn't releasing on another console.
It wouldn’t be the first time they’ve updated a domain name and then had an announcement about a week later, and with the OVA coming out it’s possible it’s that time again.
I know no one here wants to hear it but considering Joker being in Smash, a Switch port like FES and Golden seems most likely to me. I’d also be up for a fighting game though.
@ShogunRok Yes. And he's on review duty for all of them.
Going along with my thought I posted on the other article, the idea is a re-release with a name based on the color scheme of the game — just like Persona 4: Golden name is based on the P4 yellow theme. So, given the color for Persona 5 is red, they can’t decide between:
Persona 5: Ruby (or Rose)
Persona 5: Blood (or Berry)
Persona 5: Magenta (or Mahogany)
Persona 5: Sangria (or Scarlet)
So they registered all the names while they decide.
(Disclaimer: I have absolutely no source to base this theory other than my own tired brain)
@Th3solution I always thought Persona 5 Crimson would be nice.
We keep talking about an update, remake, or some Switch port. But what if it’s something we would never even think about? Like Big Bang Burger actually becoming a real restaurant? 😜
I have a feeling it's Nintendo Switch related. I haven't owned or played a Nintendo console since the Gamecube (I know, crazy), but I've been tempted to get a NS whenever I get the funds. If P5 came to the Switch, I will probably definitely pull the plug. I also want a 3DS XL, but I can't afford it. Lol.
Pretty sure they’re Persona 5: Racing, Persona 5: Bingo, Persona 5: Mahjong and Persona 5: Sausages.
Maybe it is „Persona 5 Sexy“. A beach volleyball dating sim featuring all our P5 waifus. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Nah, I also think it's something Switch and Anime related, due to Joker coming to Smash. Sadly.
I wonder if they’re just placeholders?
P5S and P5M = Persona 5 Sun and Moon. Pokemon Persona crossover. 😂
@ShogunRok what do we need to do to ensure he is the lead reviewer
P5R does seem likely to be a switch port from all of the online chatter
P5M could be for a movie series, like P3M was for Persona 3. P5R is probably the updated version as rumours suggest, with the previously registered P5U belonging to the fighting game (Persona 4 Arena was titled Persona 4 The Ultimate in Japan, and thus was known as P4U). No clue about the others however. There was a survey asking about interest in Persona 5 themed shooters, racing games and card games iirc, so those could fit into P5S or P5B.
@Spectra Persona 5 Dancing.
Therefore we can officially have P5BDSM.
Glad I could help.
@Orpheus79V Man, I was joking about the racing and card games lol. Only Atlus...
