Persona 5 delays its release and will finally arrive on April 4, 2017

There is still time until February, the month in which ‘Persona 5’ was going to go on sale, but it is seen Atlus does not believe that the game will be ready in the West by then, which has led him to announce a delay in its release date in America and Europe until April 4, 2017 .

The reason that Atlus has given for this decision is that ‘Persona 5’ has exceeded their expectations in Japan, being a success in sales, so they want us to receive the title in the West with the greatest possible localization . This entails putting more work on the voices that will be heard in the characters and recording more lines of dialogue that did not have audio.

To compensate for this delay, the game that we receive in the West will include a free downloadable content that will provide the voices in Japanese , so that users can hear the characters in the language they like the most. In addition, on November 24, and only for 24 hours, a decorative theme of Ryuji and Avatar will be available for free download exclusively for PlayStation 4.

Taking advantage of the statement Atlus has wanted to distribute three new videos of ‘Persona 5’. In one of them he shows us Yusuke Kitagawa , one of the members of the Phantom Thieves team, who is defined as a wise artist with a great passion for aesthetics and art.

The second of these videos introduces us to another of the main characters, Makoto Niijima , whose talent has made her one of the best students at Shujin Academy. So we can know the reasons that have led him to be part of the Phantom Thieves.

Finally, the third video focuses on the voice actress Cherami Leigh , who voices Makoto and indicates what working on such a video game has meant to her.

‘Persona 5’ will therefore be available on April 5 on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 with a price of 49.99 euros or 69.99 euros , respectively. At the same time, a collector’s edition will go on sale that will contain a CD with the soundtrack, a stuffed animal or an art book, among other elements, with a price of 89.99 euros .
