Atlus' social simulation RPG "Persona 5" has been around in Japan since September 2016 and is now heading towards the western territory this April. As the release date nears, the developer continues to stash in additional contents in the game for United States' fans to enjoy.
The developer recently teased the persona known as Kaguya that was featured in "Persona 4," which came out way back in 2008 for PlayStation 2. It is also set to dish out the persona's other variant - Kaguya Picaro - that has a different color pattern and may vary in strength.
Both beings are personas from the Aeon arcana that utilizes the Light element in fighting her opponents. In addition, Kaguya is also famed for its high magical skills and powerful buff/debuff abilities, DualSHOCKERS reported.
In the interim, Atlus' North American arm also released additional details about the game's other key characters. The game maker recently introduced these characters known as confidants that will aid the protagonists in reforming the city Tokyo against ill-minded adults.
Players who aim to improve their character's shooting skills may tap the services of the confidant named Shinya Oda. The character is quite a marksman himself and is highly skilled in carrying out a successful ambush.
Ichiko Ohya is also a confidant in the upcoming game. It may sound unusual, but she will help players boost their charisma in the game making the rest of non-playable characters to be in their favor. She also has connections with the collective known as The Phantom Thieves and gains exclusive scoop from them.
Chihaya Mifune, on the other hand, is a fortune teller that will both boost players' social stats and their ties with other confidants. Lastly, Yuuki Mishima will be in-charge of players' fansite as well as boosting gamers' experience points after every battle, according to Videogames Republic.
