The nextPersona 5anime special,Persona 5 the Animation Stars and Ours, will be airing on March 23 in Japan. The previous one,Persona 5 the Animation Dark Sun, was streamed by Crunchyroll the same day it aired in Japan, so maybe Crunchy will be going at it again this time.
Following multiple days wheremany signalsshowed the announcement of a “Persona 5 R” was imminent,Persona 5 Rwas indeed announced for PlayStation 4during thePersona 5 the Animation Dark Sun anime special,with a short teaser saying more info would come in March. As such, it’s highly possible this newP5Rinformation will be revealed at the end ofPersona 5 the Animation Stars and Ours.
Persona 5 the Animation Stars and Ours’s air date was announced by thePersona 5 Animeofficial Twitter, which also had the key visual above, and a summary. Stars and Ourswill be one hour long, and according to the official summary, will be the “final battle of the Phantom Thieves” so it’s safe to assume it will cover the game’s events from the final dungeon to the ending.
Don’t forget we still actually don’t know whatPersona 5 Ris, and what does the R stands for,besides that it’s a game releasing on PlayStation 4. I still believe it could be “Persona 5 Racing”,featuring Joker and his friends participating in clandestine races around the world with a full Eurobeat OST.
Persona 5is extremely popular, and with good reason, as it’s the best JRPG from at least these past five years. The game is gettingFunkoPops, and received its ownrhythm game spinoffalong withPersona 3.Persona Q2,another spinoff, based on theEtrian Odysseydungeon crawlers, will includePersona 5’scharacters as well, but noEnglish voice-overs.
Persona 5’s protagonist Joker will also be coming to Nintendo’sSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatesoon, as the game’sfirst DLC fighter.Sakurai also visited Atlus at Sega’s headquarters andtalked about his experience with thePersonaseries.Last but not least,Joker will be present inCatherine Full Bodyas well.
