Persona 5 getting an announcement on May 5, 2016

Fully expecting it to start something like... "First of all, if you're watching this in Europe, just stop. Seriously. Fuck off. We don't want you here. Bye."

Japanese date, no word for us or eu release. That is my bet.

Yep. Anything more is going to be a pleasant surprise, but this is definitely the most realistic.

It'll be interesting to see the early vs late summer announcement, and see people try to extrapolate 2016 vs 2017 for NA release, tho.

Especially if the game has been basically finished, and Hashino's been 'final-touching' for a while.
 
Makes sense that they waited until after FF's announcement to reveal their date. Having both hype trains run simultaneously would be a nightmare for both companies and the players who happen to be excited about both.
 
To be fair, they didn't do a big fanfare for that trailer like they did with the teaser in 2013 and the "PV#1" trailer (announcements of announcements, countdowns, livestreams). They didn't hype it up, it was just their TGS trailer. A damn good trailer, but just their TGS trailer.

You mean the wanted campaingn and the countdown wasn't enough ?
 
Long live announcements of announcements!

Who'se up for announcements of announcements of announcements?
 
"We're glad you all enjoyed our visual target renders, we are happy to announce that Persona 5 has now entered full development."
 
I am prepared to be disappointed. It'll either be an actual release date or a new trailer with 2017 slapped on the end.
 
If its the usual persona announcement malarky i expect 59 minutes of bullshit followed by 1 minute of uncontrollable hype.
 
With ffxv releasing in September/October timeframe, their only chance of not being swallowed by ff and lose sales would be to release this early summer. So I wouldn't mind a "game releases world wide early June"

While that would be awesome, it seems way too early for a game we've seen very, very little of. Not to mention that Atlus hardly seems the type to suddenly manage a worldwide release of a big title like this.
 
I'd assume release date along with info on a CE of the game. Hope this thing drops right in the middle of summer.

Edit: Oh right...this will be another 72 stream affairs with all sorts of hi-jinks, old ladies and Teddie.
 
"The tenth anniversary of Persona 4 is coming up in a year and a half (and Atlus time) so what better way to celebrate it than announce the Persona 5 Christmas 2018 release date"

is what could only happen with Atlus and no other company. for real I think we'll get JPN and US dates for this year, Japan being late June and P5 being sent to die in the US as some August release.
