The Los Cabos restaurant in Shibuya is doing a promotion for the game, and it runs until November 23. Kotaku East is your slice of Asian internet culture, bringing you…
Persona 5 won’t be out in the West until next year, but the game has already been released in Japan. At about 15 hours in I feel like I’m just scratching the surface, but so far I’m loving it. Note: These impressions might have spoilers, depending on how sensitive you are to such things, but…
Persona 5 won’t be out in South Korea until next year, but the game has already caused some controversy there online. The game will be subtitled in Korean, which should make many players there happy. What isn’t making some happy is imagery on P5 character Ryuji Sakamoto’s shoes. He doesn’t always wear the same sneakers…
Persona 5 characters and costumes look cool in, well, Persona 5. But how do they look in Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma Online? Kinda strange!

Persona 5 looks terrific. Especially the animated sequences by famed studio Production I.G, perhaps best known for The Ghost in the Shell anime. In a recent interview with Weekly Famitsu, animator Toshiyuki Kono, who directed those cutscenes, said that Persona 5 director Katsura Hashino first got in touch three and a half years ago. This…
Good evening. Here is a Persona 5 combat trailer. If there’s a cooler UI out there, I haven’t seen it.
Earlier this morning, Atlus showed off 18 minutes of Persona 5 gameplay. 18 minutes! You can watch it here. Note that this was a Japanese livestream of the Japanese version, so…enjoy the visuals. (Thanks Giuseppe’s Gaming!)
Atlus gave a demonstration of Persona 5 gameplay today at E3. Here’s video of it. The quality’s of IGN’s clip here isn’t great, but it’s captured from a demo screen on the showroom floor, so whaddyagonnado. It’s certainly clear enough to make out that there’s a dungeon full of butts. Sad reminder: this game isn’t…
Sorry, Persona fans: you won’t be dating new waifus and husbandos until next year. Atlus announced today that Persona 5 will be out in North America on February 14, 2017. That’s five months after Japan gets the fifth Persona, and it might come as a bummer to North American gamers who hoped to go on…
Atlus just announced that its P5 anime will be titled Persona 5 The Animation: The Day Breakers, will be a prologue, and will hit Japanese TV this September, right before the game is released. It was first announced at last year’s Tokyo Game Show.

Over the weekend, Persona fans got some tremendous news: the next game in Atlus’s quirky series would be out in July, not just for PS4 but for PC as well. Then they found out it was all a big lie. It all started Friday, when Atlus launched a Persona teaser page that’s been counting down…
Is the Persona 5 release date coming soon? After getting delayed and being awfully quiet, Atlus has put up a countdown clock today, which at the time of writing, has over 300 hours left to go.
How many games do you know that manage to combine Jungian psychology, Japanese school-life and urban legends? Just like me, the Persona series isn’t as popular in the West as Final Fantasy, but it’s been around just as long (since 1987), and is arguably much more interesting. This post originally appeared on Kotaku UK on…
Persona 5, you’ve been awfully quiet! Just a friendly reminder, via 2ch, that Atlus hasn’t updated us with any P5 news since October 2015. It’s slated for a release this year, so hopefully we’ll get an update sooner rather than later.

Seinfeld clips overlaid with Persona 4’s UI? Triggerhappypilot, this is good work. While the joke itself is nothing new, it’s crazy how well this all comes together once the pictures are in motion. That music… (via Super Punch)
