We’ve had Persona 5, we’ve had Persona 5 Royale, we’ve had Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight and in addition Persona 5 Strikers. That’s a lot of Persona 5, however Sega and Atlus determine we are able to deal with much more, as a result of one other spinoff has simply been introduced, this one referred to as Persona: Phantom of the Night time.

If you wish to see some extra of the wonderful character design work, you’ll be able to take a look at the sport’s official web site (although you’ll have to translate it because it’s all in Chinese language).
