We’ve had Persona 5, we’ve had Persona 5 Royale, we’ve had Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight and in addition Persona 5 Strikers. That’s a lot of Persona 5, however Sega and Atlus determine we will deal with much more, as a result of one other spinoff has simply been introduced, this one referred to as Persona: Phantom of the Evening.
As Persona Central have translated, this one—with a shortened title of P5X—is a cell sport being launched by Chinese language firm Good World Video games. Earlier than you go switching off at that like I nearly did, although, simply…have a look at this trailer:
And this one, which options some gameplay:
I feel these clips look cool as hell. And the little owl! And everybody’s character designs! They’re good (long-time collection designer Shigenori Soejima labored on the primary character and owl sidekick, which might clarify that). This footage clearly seems to be cool as hell as a result of it seems to be similar to the Persona 5 we performed on consoles/PC, right down to the combination of exploration/classwork and turn-based fight, however it doesn’t actually appear to indicate what sort of gacha, microtransaction or cost programs are going to be in place, which after all may very well be an absolute dealbreaker. Guess we’ll must see how that every one works when the sport’s first public check takes place on March 29.
You play a highschool pupil whose dad and mom are “travelling overseas”, leaving you residence alone to juggle going to high school through the day and preventing demons by night time, the trailer suggesting the story goes to observe a really related path as the primary sport, simply with a recent group of youngsters, teammates and attainable social hyperlinks (although Joker and crew do make an look based mostly on a screenshot from the official web site).
If you wish to see some extra of the wonderful character design work, you may try the sport’s official web site (although you’ll have to translate it because it’s all in Chinese language).
