The new "Persona 5" trailer features the protagonist living his everyday life within the big city as he tries to balance school work, friends, travel and other activities, complete with weather changes. Just like the previous titles, "Persona 5" will also feature bonding moments with different people and each character has their own unique "Persona" such as Arsene for the protagonist.
The game will feature the "Sneak" mode that allows the characters to use stealth and a social link called "Cooperation" that increases that stats of the protagonist's friends when bonding with them.
New activities are added in the game such as playing Baseball and learning martial arts, as well as new places based museum paintings and actual monuments like the pyramid in Egypt. The trailer ends with the Summer 2016 launch date which left gaming fans shocked and confuse.
PR manager Josh Hardin assured gaming fans that "Persona 5" will launch sometime this year for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, after he cleared out the 2016 release date for the game. Atlus stated that the delay was necessary to make sure that "Persona 5" lives up to the gaming fans' expectations.
"Persona 5" game director Katsuhiro Hashino made an apology to the gaming fans as he stated that they needed more time to make the game as enjoyable and impressive as possible, and added that creating the story and concept of "Persona 5" was not an easy task, Siliconera reported. Hashino urges fans to wait a little longer until "Persona 5" is out in summer 2016 in Japan, and sometime in 2016 in the United States.
