There's a certain lack of hype surrounding Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers. Despite being billed as what is essentially a sequel to the hugely successful Persona 5, it just doesn't seem to be attracting much attention. Perhaps that'll change once the West gets its hands on Persona 5 Royal in March, but in the meantime, we'd recommend giving this gameplay footage a watch.
Stretching on for just over two hours, this video from Japanese YouTube channel Amari Odorokanai Gacchiman wa Horror Game Bakari Yatteiru (thanks Gematsu) has it all, and yes, by the looks of it, Persona 5 Scramble really is a sequel to Persona 5 -- the main difference being that combat is action-based. It's got in-depth dialogue scenes, player choice, dungeon exploration -- just about everything you'd expect from a Persona title.
Do you think Persona 5 Scramble is shaping up to be something special? Take your heart in the comments section below.

Super excited for this. The turn based combat is whats causing me to stop at the halfway point in P5. I know I could put it on baby mode but eh...hope to finish it one day cause I love the game. Just get so tired of turn based combat after a while.
I haven’t heard much hype of the game, but I’ll still be getting it. Hopefully the game will sale well.
I love Persona 5. A sequel sounds awesome. I HATE that this is a musou game. I have yet to enjoy any musou game I have played.
This will be the first musou i buy day 1. Really looking forward to it
I'd kind of just dismissed this as a straight up musou game but having flicked through that it looks much closer to being an RPG then I'd assumed. Very excited for this now
So much more excited for this. The only musou games I could really get into were the licensed ones like Hyrule, Fire Emblem and One Piece. This year just gets better and better.
im hyped for it ! two persona in same year
I'm loving my time with Persona 5, so SO glad I finally gave the game a chance and it's making me super hyped for Phantom Strikers.
I for one am as Super hyped for this as I was Persona 5!Really looking forward to this one.
@Deadlyblack You must be loving it if you’ve made the extremely bold move of changing your profile pic to everyone’s least favourite alarm clock, Morgana 😂😂
I'm really looking forward to this game.
Looking forward to the review, seems to have potential.
@nessisonett "Aren't you tired? Why not go to bed."
@Deadlyblack Maybe he's not tired and already in bed. Maybe he just likes conversing with you. Life is hard enough as it is. Pushsquare is our sacred space were we all love and respect each other. 😍💕
@Amusei I didn't mean anything negative by my comment. Just quoting Morgana lol. 😅
I don't care much for arguing online.
I wasnt at all interested in the game. I thought itd be exactly the same game as their dynasty warriors games. The dialogue and dungeons has me interested though. If they're well designed and stylish like persona 5, I'd be interested in getting it.
I’m definitely stoked that this is a sequel and not necessarily just a spin off. That sold me on the game. I love this cast!
@Deadlyblack @Amusei Hahahaha, oh man that’s got me in stitches. Don’t worry, it was a line from the game! It is rather late though 😉
So is it a sequel to P5: Royal?
@Deadlyblack Oh 😅 my bad lol, I haven't played it yet.
@nessisonett Kinda what I was going for lol, I didn't know that, just trying to maintain some peace. 😁
This was one of the three games I selected, on the most anticipated games for 2020 article, quite enjoying my time with dragon quest heroes, so should enjoy the gameplay, hopefully story doesn't require indepth knowledge of previous game to understand what's going on. I have no plan's to play previous game as I don't like turn based games.
P5 was my second favorite after P4 Golden, I'm really excited for these!
Looks amazing, I can't wait for P5R and P5S to drop. Poor 2077 will be sidelined for quite some time.
I've never played a musuo title before.
Looks like that'll be changing soon. This'll set a new standard for how these crossover titles should be handled.
Ok well... this looks like it has way more "beef" to it than I thought. Loved P5, will get this for Switch. But when will it be out?
animation looks a bit off but will get this when its out in the uk, completed persona 5 twice, cant wait for the royal version
@gamiller1978 Persona 5 Scramble is a direct sequel to Persona 5, so there will be alot of stuff going on that will be confusing if you haven't experienced P5 OG or Royal.
@Trajan @Averagewriter @NoxAeturnus You say that now but hopefully the English marketing for Scramble will change your minds.
Still waiting for them to announce an U.S. Release Date .
I'm really excited for Scramble I was late to the Persona 5 party but I'd say it's a top 10 of the generation easily for me
I have never played a Persona game before but this new release is intriguing me to say the least.
Do I pick it up or will I be super confused?
@KidBoruto I'm already excited for the story. In fact, everything about this looks awesome...except the combat. Musou games have the most empty, soulless, button mashy gameplay, and nothing in this trailer has changed my mind about that.
P5 is still in my top 5 games of this generation I will definitely look for a US release for Scramble to pick up
@DonJorginho Persona 5 Scramble is a direct sequel to Persona 5 in terms of plot and story, so there will be alot of stuff going on that will be confusing if you haven't experienced P5 Original or Persona 5 Royal.
@KidBoruto Which one out of original or royal do you suggest bro?
@DonJorginho Persona 5 Original, since none of the new Royal content/characters etc will be mentioned in Scramble, as far as I know.
Royal is more of an alternate route on the Persona 5 story.
