Koei Tecmo is finally talking about a western release for Persona 5 Scramble. The company’s most recent fiscal report mentions that a localized version of the “musou” game is being planned for the United States and Europe. No further details were provided.

Persona 5 Royal drops on Playstation 4 on March 31 so you can start and never finish the sprawling JRPG all over again. The special edition adds more characters, a new part of Tokyo to explore, and an additional semester of school because who doesn’t want that?

Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers now has a Japanese release date and a brand new trailer. The musou take on Persona drops in Japan on February 20, 2020, for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch. It also looks slick as heck, as you might expect from a Persona 5 spin-off.

Persona 5 is being turned into a stage play. Called Persona 5: The Stage (clever!), it will run this December in Tokyo and Osaka with actor Hiroki Ino starring. The full cast will be announced at a later date.
