Persona

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.

Why People Love Persona

How many games do you know that manage to combine Jungian psychology, Japanese school-life and urban legends?

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.

Persona 5‘s Opening Theme is Pretty Darn Catchy

Dear Lord, Persona 5 Looks Incredible

You know what helps alleviate the pain of Persona 5’s big delay? This ridiculous trailer, which features the characters of Atlus’s upcoming cat RPG climbing things, jumping into paintings, and playing baseball.

When talking about Persona 3 and 4 and their respective spin-offs and sequels, people always seem confused when the various games take place. And it’s no wonder.
