Atlus has revealed the release date for Persona 5: The Royal, confirmed the identity of two new characters and also revealed a “third semester” scenario.
The first day of the Persona Super Live 2019 concert has now passed and the release date for Persona 5: The Royal has been divulged as the 31st of October for Japan. The Western release will come in 2020 – the latest PV:
Two new characters have also been revealed:
Kasumi Yoshizawa (seiyuu: Sora Amamiya)
Takuto Maruki (seiyuu: Satoshi Hino)
Those hoping for a FeMC will be disappointed to hear that Kasumi is a mere classmate and potential love interest for Joker. Kasumi has been described as a rhythmic gymnast and perfectionist who transfers to Shujin Academy in the spring. She desires Joker, but seems to reject the Phantom Thieves.
Kasumi is a Persona user and can be seen fighting alongside them for at least part of the game, although fans who played the original will know that there is a precedent for allies turning into enemies.
Takuto Maruki is a school counselor who is hired after the incidents involving a perverted teacher.
Relatively little information has been given regarding the third semester scenario, although it will involve a trip to a shrine for Hatsumode (on New Year’s Day), during which the female characters will wear yukatas.
An unnamed young man has also been shown, with his black hair, blue eyes and habit of referring to himself as “wagahai” being reminiscent of Morgana:
A number of new locations can be seen, including Kichijoji, where Caroline and Justine can be seen experiencing life outside the prison:
An aquarium has been added and appears to be a date location for Joker and Kasumi:
Further information is likely to be given on the second day of the concert.
New girl is hella cute~
Yeah, too bad their gonna censor her, thanks to the fucking SJWs…
Man, I wish games weren’t console exclusive!
I will ask you this did they censor p5 dancing, a game where you have a song where the girls are dress like hookers? No they didnt. Stop being mad that your senrar kagura game got censore it and grown up
I feel sorry for any hookers you know if they dress as conservatively as persona 5 dancing. Of course I also feel sorry for you as you are a leftish idiot…and your English teacher as you obviously can’t speak.
Why would it be censored? Was the game censored before?
No og p5 is not censored, its just the same guy on all post of ps4, games that is mad because he only owns a switch
if you look at the stories on this site you will see that yes it is censored.
Sonys censorship policy is so insane now that the PS4 cover of the new Atelier game was censored to show less “leg” and in the process they cut the horse too.
She’s just a copy of the P3 femprotag
Indeed.
I didn’t get P5 (not enough time) so I’m happy to get P5R instead 🙂
Now I just hope they don’t remove that certain love story… hope hope hope
I wonder if she was one of the characters cut from the game. I remember rumors that several characters that are in the game were supposed to have more of a role in the story instead of just being confidants. There’s whats her face that you play Shogi with.
ok…..
and wheres Sae route?…. -_-
There can’t be a Sae route because 90 percent of the game is “recap” you’re literally just reliving Jokers memories up till your arrest.
Well I guess I already know one of the games I’ll buy in 2020 : ) .
I’m buying on October 31, 2019. Fedex ftw.
