Persona 5 Japanese Release Pushed into 2015, Now Releasing on PS3 and PS4

Late last year, Atlus finally announced the next main chapter in the Persona series, Persona 5. While it was announced as a PlayStation 3-exclusive title that would be released in Japan by the end of 2014, Atlus announced today that plans for the game have changed.

In a pre-Tokyo Game Show teaser video (seen above), Atlus announced that the dungeon crawler-meets-RPG-meets-social sim has been delayed into 2015 in Japan, with no specific release date given. However, in a bit of good news, it was also revealed that the game will not only be released for PlayStation 3 as originally announced, but also PlayStation 4. No other details on the PS4 version have been given.

Persona 5 has been confirmed for a North American release sometime in 2015, though whether or not it will be just the PS3 version or PS3 and PS4 has not been announced at this time.
