Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers may finally be heading West in the not too distant future, if new retail listings are anything to go by. A number of Asian websites have published product pages for an English version of the game, complete with English voiceovers.
It should be noted that this isn't the same version of the game that we'll (eventually) get here in the West, but if the listings are accurate, then it suggests that the title's English localisation is at least somewhat complete. In other words, it might not be long until Scramble finally receives a Western release date.
The game first hit Japan back in February, and then launched in both China and South Korea in June. This version covers other Asian territories, such as Indonesia, Singapore, and Pakistan — retailers from which have Scramble tagged for release on the 23rd February, 2021.
Your move, Atlus!

Please just announce the west version, I need more P5
Makoto is still best girl. Well, I’m sure it’s a matter of time for a western release. Maybe not day 1 for me but I’ll still get it.
Man I sure hope so. Been wanting to play this ever since it was announced.
Ys IX AND Persona 5 Scramble in February? Good lord.
F*cking finally
Hopefully I have my PS5 by then and I'm gonna be playing the hell out of this. Royal might be the better overall package but I had way more fun with P5S' refreshing change of pace
@Ralizah Oh yes... orgasmic. They took their sweet time with this one.
@Ralizah most anticipated games for me, along with Tales of Arise, DQ Adventures of Dai, Granblue Fantasy (and whenever the heck BioMutant comes out) - you got good taste!
I can't wait. love me some Musou type games and with that Persona twist?! oh my goodness. (P4 Yukiko still best girl)
@Ralizah i preordered Ys 9 yesterday. I think its been pushed to the end of march. Either way, very excited for that one!
Crazy how long we've been waiting on scramble! Hopefully it doesn't get lost among the new console hype
Finally.
come on I can only play so much of the demo 😫
@strawhatcrew and I like your unique and good taste in games.
Announcement at The Game Awards presumably then? This would be a short promotional cycle for an Atlus game, so I'd be very surprised but regardless jumping with joy. Can't wait to play this.
@MrSensical Short promo cycles for Atlus are actually nothing new considering Persona Q2's Western release as well as the PS2 era games
@strawhatcrew Any interest in the HD remaster of SMT: Nocturne releasing next year? Even if you don't have a Switch, that one is releasing for PS4 as well.
PS4 and Switch will be an absolute mess of awesome Japanese games next year.
@Rob_230 It could go either way. Usually new console launches are good for smaller publishers, because they tend to be a bit dry, but it seems like Sony has big plans for PS5's launch year.
Still says Feb. 2nd, 2021 when I go to NISA's site. I'm based in the U.S., though, so maybe it was delayed a bit if you live somewhere else?
@TheFrenchiestFry I mean, the PS2 games were like well over 10 years ago and were before Persona really blew up, but I didn't remember that about PQ2 at all until you said that haha. Notable also though is that game didn't have an English dub which would've sped up the process I imagine? Idk, maybe Atlus wanted to announce this sooner but Covid interfered with plans. Either way, hype.
@MrSensical I imagine Q2 probably didn't get a dub due to the fact they were probably aware that a 3DS game in 2019 2 years after the Switch would probably not print money
That and it's possible the Vic Mignogna allegations probably steered them clear of doing anything with him considering he's been Junpei's VA all the way up to Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
From official "Atlus_West" on Twitter:
"All will be revealed December 8."
