'Persona 5' (ALL) Confirms Euro Release Date

by Rainier on Aug. 9, 2016 @ 8:23 a.m. PDT

Persona 5 is a RPG about the internal and external conflicts of a group of troubled high school students - the protagonist and a collection of compatriots he meets in the game's story - who live dual lives as Phantom Thieves.

They have the typically ordinary day-to-day of a Tokyo high schooler: attending class, after-school activities, and part-time jobs. But they also undertake fantastical adventures by using otherworldly powers to enter the hearts of people. Their power comes from the Persona, the Jungian concept of the "self"; the game's heroes realize that society forces people to wear masks to protect their inner vulnerabilities, and by literally ripping off their protective mask and confronting their inner selves do the heroes awaken their inner power, and using it to help those in need. Ultimately, the group of Phantom Thieves seeks to change their day-to-day world to match their perception and see through the masks modern society wears.

Besides the PS3 game there will be a special PS4 SteelBook Launch Edition as well as a limited "Take Your Heart" Premium Edition.

The details of the two limited PS4 editions of the games are:

SteelBook Launch Edition (PS4 only - $59.99/CA$79.99/€69.99 / £54.99)

Available only to PS4 pre-orders and a limited number of day-one purchases, while supplies last.

  • The PS4 version will come specially packaged in a SteelBook collectible case, emblazoned with Persona 5 designs.

"Take Your Heart" Premium Edition (PS4 only -$89.99/CA$109.99/€89.99 / £79.99)
