Atlus Accidentally Reveals Two New Persona Games

If Microsoft paid for timed exclusivity then I have no reason to doubt that Sega will release these on Nintendo at a later date.

So long as I can mute the P3 music I'm in. And maybe they should update that map. Other than that, neat.

They really can't move on from P5 huh.

A decent remake of P3 really would be quite nice.

I’m lukewarm on the tactics game though.

Not coming to Switch even thought he graphics look subpar...

I'm pretty sure these are getting announced first for Xbox, at their showcase. After that they will be announced for Switch and PS on Twitter, blogs, etc. Kind of like after the Playstation Showcase basically all the 3rd party games got announced for Xbox too.

Reminds me of what happened last year; Persona 3-5 announced a week or so prior to the Nintendo Parter Showcase.

Neither of these games look like they couldn't run on Switch.

Tactics seems likely, but I could see the 3 remake being delayed or skipping Switch sadly.

@Ardisan We're getting SMT6 before they move on from P5.

The Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden ports were also announced only for Xbox last summer and were later announced for all platforms. Not to mention this is just a leak and not an official announcement. I'm sure these games will be announced for Switch and other platforms at a later date.

P3 is one of my favorite games on the ps2. This looks great.

They could had remake Persona 1 & Persona 2a (Innocent Sin), and Persona 2b (Eternal Punishment), Persona 3, 4, & 5 were good the way they were but P1, P2a & P2b still look outdated even with the PSP ports.

Another P5 game?!?

i'm not bothered by no nintendo release tbh the fact we have p3p, p4g, and p5r on switch is amazing and groundbreaking enough for me, asking for more seems pointless
so happy for persona 3 fans though! i hope you all have the best time!

Persona 5 Tactics is almost certainly coming to Switch.

Either way, I'll play them on Game Pass.

Persona 5 is the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe of the franchise, it will never die

@kingdededesinnocent Why exactly wouldnt both these title come to switch? Especially since it looks like both titles aren't graphicaly intensive.

Im hope for SMTV pc release sometime this year.

Just give us Persona 6 already.

@TheBigBlue Lol i was thinking the same thing. Didnt it take like 10 years for P5 to get released after P4?

If MS is getting it, Rest Assured Nintendo is getting it 😅 😏

Highly doubt P3 remake is coming to Switch. I don't think the game would be impossible to run on the system like some people think but at this point it would make sense to wait until Nintendo announces the Switches successor in the upcoming year.

But Atlus makes weird decisions all the time like waiting to release P5 years after Jokers Smash hype died down so who knows if it ever will be on a Nintendo system.

The P5 spin off I can see being on the Switch but at this point I'm ready for Atlus to move on from the world of P5.

Oh wow. F me for buying Portable I guess.

I’ll give it a year.

Well, if they come to switch, I'll gran them there. However, day 1 gamepass sounds a little too tempting.

Phantom Thieves are at it again!

Very kind of the instagram employee, now I don't need to watch the XBox Showcase to see if the rumors are true lol

Persona 5: Sparks of Hope?

The leakers online who got the release date window and the games name correct before the trailers dropped also say its coming to playstation consoles, Even Gematsu say they understand that it's coming to multiple platforms and these trailers are just xbox branded for their showcase.

But a Switch version of P3 Reloaded may be a stretch, but the Perosna 5 Tactica game will definitely be coming to the switch.

eee I'm so happy! I only played 3 when it came to Switch but I absolutely loved it! I also love me some high budget tactics games as well, these should be good!

No mention because its gonna be on Xbox Showcase. Its probably gonna relase every console.

No way these are coming to Xbox but not Switch unless MS have paid for exclusivity/funded them (highly doubt it). They’ll either be on everything day one or timed for Xbox, more than likely the former

Neither of them are expected to come to Switch and nobody should be surprised Soul Hackers didn't release on Switch so why would these two games?

Atlus should bring over the Persona Q and Q2 on the 3DS based on Persona 4 and 5. Persona 5 Tactica is exactly the same chibi characters and style. Half of those remakes/ports is already done.

More people should play Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE Encore

@TheBigBlue And Final Fantasy VII!

And here I'm still waiting for a new Trauma Center game. As it is, the last entry we've had in the series was in 2010, with Trauma Team.

Personally, I'd love to see any new Trauma Center game with full motion video anime cutscenes, maybe even animated by AIC ASTA or A-1 Pictures (the studios behind the Persona 4 anime and the Persona 4 Golden anime, respectively), and fully voiced, similar to New Blood and Trauma Team.

Finally, if the game were to focus on Derek and Angie again, I want to see them take the next step in their relationship from colleagues to romantic partners, maybe even husband and wife. They deserve it and each other, after all.

Its another pathetic attempt by Microsoft to pretend its just coming out for xbox and game pass. Just like last time. The same is happening now on the No mans sky website. No mentioning of PS4/5 or Nintendo for the next expedition only xbox. Both company probably will get paid a lot of money.

@Thief - You could well be right here. I reckons Tactics is about 90% chance that it's coming to Switch as it looks similar graphically to P5R & Strikers which run fine on Switch also it's a late 2023 release. P3RE I would guess to be a 50% chance, mainly because the 2024 release date, we could be transitioning to a new system. It does use Unreal engine though which is used for heaps of games on the Switch & graphically it looks like the Switch could run it which is why I think there's still a good chance we get this. Less likely than Tactics though. Edit: The update to this story with the P3RE Switch box art whilst not confirmed makes it much higher than 50% now. Yay!

Woah, Persona 3 Remake looks really good. Shame it's 50/50 we'll see it on the Switch. Atlus would probably say, "Well, we gave you Persona 3 Portable,y'know." They make odd decisions as you'd think it'd sell well on Switch.

Persona 5 Tactica looks less "spectacular". Absolutely loved Persona 5 Royal Switch so I'd probably insta-buy it anyway as I like the series and I like TBS games anyway

According to Gamatsu info, P3 Reload and P5 Tactica are coming to the Switch.

The funniest thing about this? It's not even been mentioned coming to Nintendo, but NL will post it anyway. Don't let a little thing like that stop a Nintendo news website posting about it.

@Kineas This isn’t a formal announcement though so there’s still room for speculation, especially for Persona which has plenty of representation on Switch. If these were announced officially and there was no mention of a Switch release then yeah, it’d be daft to report on it here but given the situation with P3P/4G/5R and how they were all announced for all platforms in the same timeframe it’s not really unreasonable to expect the same thing to happen with these games.

Now if this were to have happened to a game like say MGS3 Remake before it was revealed I’d have been the first to ask why a Nintendo site would report on it as if it has a big chance of coming over to Switch. Given Persona’s history with the platform, more understandable

Even when I take my hoping-for-a-Switch-port glasses off, I still think that there’s a fair chance that these games will come to Switch. Both of the leaked release windows also don’t show any mention of a PS4 or 5 release, and I can’t imagine a Persona game not being on PS

Anyways I’m glad I held out on getting P3!

FYI there was leaked game box art for the platforms and Switch was one of them.

@Kineas does it make more sense with this update?

Well... Persona 5 Tactica looks like Persona Q... Why then don't called it a "Persona 5 Q"?... Sigh
What's about Persona 3 Reload, though... It can be a remake of ORIGINAL Persona 3, without FES and/or Portable content... If that's true, then it would be worse than FES, lol... Also, I found it hysterically funny and stupid when Persona fans says that the Epilogue Aigis(The Answer) and AI-controlled party sucks, but the best version of P3 is still FES, not Portable. That's weird... So, I came to conclusion – P3P > P3FES > P3. Persona 3 Portable is the best version of Persona 3 for now, at least.

@Vyacheslav333 I didn't even think about how many variants there are. Yikes.

their is no timed exclusivity for xbox they just will release it day one on game pass jrpg games do not sell well on xbox

@Vyacheslav333 I also find it funny and stupid how much you willfully ignored how gutted P3P was compared to original/FES just so it can run on a PSP to begin with. The difference wasn’t just “Answer vs Female MC/Party Control”

Hint: Not everyone enjoys moving a blue dot around with blurry static VN backdrop for half the game instead of a proper immersive overworld with character models/animations that modern Persona games have.

What we CAN say for certain right now is thank the heavens Atlus is not making Reload follow P3P to a tee on that front anymore.

@Arawn93 I know about it as well. Just I don't care about 3D world exploration. Cutscenes, on other hand... Not a big deal, imo.

@Vyacheslav333 The Q in the names of Persona Q and Q2 is something to do with the fact it's a spinoff with Etrian Odyssey rather than the artstyle so that's why Tactica doesn't have a Q in the name. It does look like a spiritual successor to them though.

This will be a big middle finger to Atlus' fans if some games wind up being timed exclusives. Who even plays JRPGs on the Xbox??

Would only replay P3R on Switch, hopefully it's confirmed soon.

I hope it's true and that they keep that box art, I love it so much!

It was pretty obvious all along it wouldn't be xbox exclusive, xbox only have the marketing.

Going forward all persona games should be multiplatform as everyone should get to enjoy these masterpieces.

Although personally I won't be getting P3R as there's no new content and it's based off the Vanilla game and not FES or Portable.

This game is a long one… wondering what improvements they’ve done to the dungeons? Don’t think I’d be able to play this without portability, hopefully a version comes to switch.

@TeaCatherine Oh, okay.

The P5 game just sounds perfect for Switch. Really hoping we get it so I can play in handheld

The Persona series has such a cool vibe. Just hearing the music of Persona 3 Reload makes me want to play. It reminds me a little bit of russian rap. I hope the dungeons will be more fun this time. Really excited for that one now.

Love Persona but this is the fith version of this game now. Personally I would have preferred them to put a bit more work into the P3 HD remaster and then get on with P6

@UltimateOtaku91
Has that been confirmed that it isn’t combining elements from FES and 3P? I would assume this would be the definitive version.

@GameOtaku Not 100% confirmed but the leaker who leaked the games official name and release window also said its based off fhe vanilla version. But we will have to wait and see.

@Ardisan eta for persona 6 is 2026 according a dif article I saw

@GameOtaku

From IGN's interview with Ryota Niitsuma and Kazuhisa Wada:

“So first I’d like to mention that since the basic concept of the Persona 3 remake was to remake the Persona 3, we don’t have the FES and Portable contents included,” Niitsuma said. “We wanted to really genuinely work on recreating the Persona 3 experience.”

@danemord
Well that’s just dumb. They had the perfect opportunity to create a definitive version combining FES and 3P. If they were recreating it anyway why not give their fans what they wanted?
