Atlus have launched a website for Persona's 25th anniversary on which they tease seven announcements to come between September 2021 and autumn 2022. Those announcements will include "commemorative goods, various events, collaborations, and of course game information," reads a Google Translate of the page.
There are maybe three ways here that Atlus could meet or exceed hopes regarding the Persona series, and approximately 1000 ways in which they could disappoint.
]]>Yakuza: Like A Dragon was the first Yakuza game to be a multi-platform release in the west at the same time as it launched in Japan, which publisher Sega reckons is the main reason it's the most successful Yakuza game to date. Thanks to that success, Sega's chief strategy officer Shuji Utsumi says that going forward, they want Persona developers Atlus to release their games at the same time around the world, and on multiple platforms, too.
]]>Persona 5 Strikers has a final showdown against god. Pretty par for the course in a Persona game. In order to get there though, you have to get through Misty Path, which will refuse to allow you through if you stay on the beaten track. Here’s how to get through Misty Path in Persona 5 Strikers.
Spoilers for the end bit of the game.
]]>Persona 5 Strikers is out now on PC, Switch, and PS4. It’s a pretty long game though, being an entry in the Persona series. There are a number of dungeons in Persona 5 Strikers known as ‘jaills’, and they must be traversed in order to usurp the ‘Monarch’ of each one. If you’re wondering how far through the game you are, this is the page for you, as we run down how many jails are in Persona 5 Strikers.
Minor spoilers, of course, for the game’s twists and turns.
]]>As an adult, I can think of no more acute version of hell than coming back from uni and going on a summer road trip with the people I'd known at secondary school. But in fairness, if we'd all been part of a secret supernatural crime-fighting team - who did battles with often grotesque monsters in peoples' subconsciouses, no less - and had reformed for one last job involving an undercover cop, a super-advanced AI, and our old pal the talking cat, I'd probably have way more interest. Such is the summer ahead of the teen codenamed Joker, the returning protagonist of Persona 5 Strikers.
]]>If you’re playing Persona 5 Strikers, you probably know the drill by now. Get to a new city, investigate the potential baddie and jail Monarch, take them down. With that in mind, here’s a nice easy walkthrough of how to investigate Mariko Hyodo rumours in Sapporo.
]]>In Persona 5 Strikers, there’s something of a theme prior to entering jails. That’s right, another investigation. It’s not too hard though - here’s how to investigate around Sendai to find rumours on Ango Natsume in Persona 5 Strikers.
]]>In Persona 5 Strikers, you’ll need to carry out an investigation before jumping into the jail of each Monarch. It can be a tiny bit obtuse as to the whereabouts of the people to talk to in each town though. Not to worry - we’ve put together a super simple guide on each of them, including how to find rumours around Shibuya on Alice Hiiragi in Persona 5 Strikers.
]]>In Persona 5 Strikers, you’ll be given the option to teach Zenkichi how to cook. Talk to him when you first enter Osaka and he’ll talk about how he wishes he was able to offer Akane a better mealtime experience. Fair enough, since all he does is boil veg and meat. Grim. Here’s how to teach Zenkichi how to cook in Persona 5 Strikers.
]]>In Persona 5 Strikers’ Sapporo jail, you’ll want to complete the Trapped in a Frozen Hell request in order to unlock a BOND skill level cap and speed up your point gain. Here’s how to complete the Trapped in a Frozen Hell request in Persona 5 Strikers.
]]>In Persona 5 Strikers, SP management is vital, just like in the series’ other iterations. If you’ve found yourself running out of SP during a particularly arduous boss fight you’ll know what I’m on about. Those darn Lock Keepers. So to help you out, here’s how to gain more SP in Persona 5 Strikers.

]]>In Persona 5 Strikers, Ryuji will give you a text after you’re kicked out of the jail when the Jack Frosts start their cleanup operation. Before heading back in, you can go meet him in town and help him out with a mission. Our hungry boy wants ramen, so here’s where to get the legendary ramen for Ryuji in Persona 5 Strikers.
]]>In Persona 5 Strikers, you can gain permanent upgrades and perks through BOND Skills. These are basically a replacement for confidants, and offer you improvements to your long-term abilities. There are no useless BOND Skills, but there are some you should focus on early, so here’s the best BOND Skills to invest in.
]]>In Persona 5 Strikers, you’ll have special requests to complete in-game. Some of these take place in jails, but others are out in the real world. An early one is Ann’s Sendai Sweets request, where she distracts you from your important thievery to ask for some sweet treats. It’s not too difficult though - here’s where to get all the Sendai Sweets for Ann in Persona 5 Strikers.
]]>Upon first entering Persona 5 Strikers’ Kyoto jail, your gang will be captured and imprisoned. Oops. Thankfully, a resourceful Zenkichi is here to help out, along with Futaba. Unfortunately, neither of these two can actually fight, so you have to do a stealth mission with Zenkichi to get to your teammates. Not to worry though, here’s a walkthrough of how to complete Zenkichi’s stealth mission in Persona 5 Strikers.
]]>In Persona 5 Strikers’ Kyoto jail, you’ll be tasked with figuring out the fox statue’s secret in order to unlock the passage onward. In order to do this, you must find your way around a tricky maze which keeps teleporting you around the place willy nilly. Thankfully, in the Kyoto jail, the teleporters are at least consistent, so here’s how to find the Father and Mother Fox Shrines in Persona 5 Strikers.

]]>Hear that? The faint murmur of a sax solo, the trundle of a cat-shaped bus, a rippling bassline. If I listen closely, I can't shake the feeling that my life's about to change again. Persona 5 Strikers isn't far off now, and I can't wait to reunite with my high school homies in this hack-and-slash follow up to 2017's endlessly stylish, turn-based JRPG Persona 5.
But as the prospect of fist-bumping my boy Ryuji and pruning some flowers with Haru draws near, something deep within me crashes to the surface once again. Persona 5 for PC! Where are you, huh? WHERE ARE Y-
]]>All BioWare had to do to garner some love from their dejected fanbase was partially remake the first Mass Effect, and also remaster its two sequels. Stick with what works, I guess.
]]>I played about 10 hours of the 100-hour Persona 5 when it launched on PS4, and I might've played about 10 minutes of a Dynasty Warriors a few years ago. Yet, here I am, telling you why you should be interested in the Persona 5-Dynasty Warriors crossover, Persona 5 Strikers.
]]>As I write this, I'm listening to "Life Will Change" from the official Persona 5 soundtrack on Spotify. I can't quite believe it, is this real? Yes, it has to be, as this sizzling groove is now saved to my "Liked Songs". I can see it there, with my own eyes! And many more are due to follow, as a whole host of other Persona OSTs have made their way onto Spotify too. Perhaps dreams really do come true.
]]>It looks like those Persona 5 boys and girls (and cat?) will be making another dramatic appearance on PC next year - it's not Persona 5, though, sorry. It's Persona 5 Strikers! The spinoff hack 'n' slash RPG came out in Japan this February, and now it's set to launch around the rest of the world on February 23rd, 2021.
]]>These phantom thieves sure need to work on their stealth because they've been spotted trying to make a sneaky entrance. It looks like Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers, the hack and slash 'em up spinoff of Persona 5, is getting a worldwide release and on PC to boot. According to a trailer spotted on YouTube, it will launch as Persona 5 Strikers in February.
Update: Atlus have tweeted saying, "All will be revealed December 8" and have updated their official site to say "The Phantom Thieves of Hearts will return".
