Everyone’s talking about Breath of the Wild this week, but we definitely haven’t forgotten another amazing RPG series with a new installment due out. Atlus released a new English-language trailer for Persona 5 on Monday, showing off the game’s vibrant visuals, complex cast of characters and infectious soundtrack.
Those who have been following Persona 5 news will recognize each of the Phantom Thieves, presumably introduced in the order we’ll meet them in the game. We start off with the protagonist, then Anne, Ryuji, Yusuke, Makoto, Futaba and Haru. We also get some fun teases of dungeon crawling, boss brawls, anime cutscenes, school life and exploring all the brightly colored nooks and crannies in Tokyo.
The trailer gives a refresher of the broader outlines of the story -- the Phantom Thieves rise to prominence through their activities in an alternate-reality shadow world, where they confront representatives of the darker side of humanity. You needn’t worry about spoilers, check out the latest Persona 5 trailer below:
With so many groundbreaking, fantastic games in the genre out in the last few months -- like Final Fantasy XV , Tales of Berseria , Breath of the Wild and NieR: Automata -- it’s a great time to be a RPG fan.
Persona 5 comes to PS3 and PS4 on April 4. The Take Your Heart Premium edition is currently sold out on Amazon, but you can still preorder from GameStop and Best Buy for $89.99.
