Atlus has announced that they will remove immediately any "Persona 5" spoilers and plot details being revealed on social media. Two game characters speak for the game company to issue the warnings.
According to the official Japanese website of the video game, the anticipated Japanese RPG was launched recently in Japan. To protect the video game's Western fans from possible spoilers, Atlus has warned the Japanese fans that they will remove any spoilers. They will remove any information from any social media platform.
To speak for the game company, two of the video game's Velvet Room guardians, Justine and Caroline, have given warnings to the gamers. They cautioned the gamers against sharing information about events beyond the first few scenes of the game, which were introduced publicly in commercials. An unboxing video of the Japanese 20th anniversary edition of the video game has been removed from YouTube.
Justine said that players should refrain from posting any footage on video sharing websites past the game's opening. The game character did not specify for how long they will ban players from uploading specific scenes and gameplay. She also said that there are many customers that are looking forward to the game, and the Velvet Room residents will not hesitate in punishing those who violate the rules.
Below the character dialogue, Atlus gives their own statement about not sharing story spoilers. The game company has also issued a similar statement in the past with two most recent video games. These two games were "Persona 4" spin-offs, which are "Arena Ultimax" and "Dancing All Night."
The game will be launched in North America and Europe on February 14, 2017. The game will also be translated in traditional Chinese and Korean and will be released sometime next year.
