Persona 5: Everything you know about

Persona 5 is an Education Simulation Japanese role-playing video game by Atlus and P Studio. It is the sixth game in the Persona series. It was launched for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in Japan on 15 September 2016, and worldwide in April 2017.

Persona 5 is a fiction based on reality that features a group of troubled high school teenagers including the protagonist and a group of fellow countrymen whom he meets along the way. These confused and troubled students slowly understand that they are living in a deadly and dangerous world following a prison full of slavery, domination, and injustice, ruled by corrupted and cruel men and women. They cannot live with the system and cannot live without it, and just existing means they are at risk of following an unfortunate future and doomed life of slavery.

In order to get freedom, independence, and justice, they live dual lives as revolutionary Phantom Thieves of Hearts. Finally, the group of Phantom Thieves attempts to transform their day-to-day world to match their opinion, doom slavery, and see through the masks improved society wears.

An improved version, titled Persona 5 Royal, was launched on PlayStation 4 on October 31, 2019, in Japan and worldwide on March 31, 2020. It introduces many new features, including a new character, battle mechanics, and a third semester added to the main story.

Persona 5 Switch Release Date 2022

We do not have a Persona 5 Switch release date yet and the game won’t be released to Switch any time soon, but Atlus’ communication manager tells players to not give up hope. However, Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers was released on 20 February 2020 in Japan for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4. Persona 5 Royal has been released, but it is also a sad reminder that the popular Japanese role-playing video game is not available on the Nintendo Switch.

Nevertheless, Atlus’s own communications manager, Ari Advincula, has stated that if players want a port to happen, they need to keep letting Atlus know. Advincula said ‘You want what you want and if you don’t let us know it we are never going to be able to make it.’ She added that Atlus has been listening to the request for a Persona 5 Switch release and that it’s important to ‘keep telling [them] what you want.’

It is crucial to note, however, that while Advincula is a self-described ‘internal champion’ for the port, she is also ‘not the decision-maker.’ The desire for Persona 5 Switch release has been great for the last couple of years. In relevant news, Advincula also confirmed that a specific infamous aspect from Persona 5’s story has experienced a bit of an overhaul in Persona 5 Royal.

Is Persona 5 for PlayStation 5?

Persona 5 was first available in the West in 2016 as a PlayStation 4 exclusive. An enhanced version in 2019, named Persona 5 Royal, was also only for PlayStation 4 consoles and it added hours more content to an already huge game. Persona 5 is currently not available for PlayStation 5, but making Persona 5 for PlayStation 5 would be extraordinarily magnificent, as it would help to maintain the enormous amount of time between mainline Persona games. The game got released back in February and sold out more than 3 million copies. It received commendable reviews from the critics as well.

Persona 5 Royal for PS5

Persona 5 Royal was released on PlayStation 4 on 31 March 2020. And as per the Sony PS4 games can be easily accessible to the next-gen gaming console which is PlayStation 5. Officially game was launched for PS4 but PS5 players can also play it without any problem.

Currently, there is no Persona 5 Royal Nintendo Switch release date, but Atlus has always proposed that it could happen later in time. The publisher lately told fans to “keep fighting” for a port. If that was not enough, Atlus also listed Persona 5 as part of a player survey in early 2020:

“If previous Atlus games (games which can be played on other hardware, without adding additional elements) were ported to the Nintendo Switch, would you want to play them? Select all of the titles below that you would like to play on the Nintendo Switch.”

Etrian Odyssey, Shin Megami Tensei, Devil Summoner, and Catherine: Full Body were among the other titles on the list.

During a Direct Mini video presentation recently in March, Nintendo verified Catherine: Full Body will come to Switch on July 7, 2021. The Shin Megami Tensei franchise is slated to come to Nintendo Switch sometime in 2021.
