I'm glad they've decided to break the silence and announce the delay to 2017.

Spoiler

I kid. Somewhat.

 

[Peltz]

"Persona 5 is cancelled, we apologise for any inconvenience this may cause".

Riots

 

[PlatypusDude]

Fully expecting a release date for Japan for late August-Early September, with a U.S. announcement for Holidays 2016 being made at E3. But hey we are in the bizarro universe so maybe it will be a worldwide release date and by worldwide I mean Japan+U.S.

 

[YankeeDonB]

About time. Surely they wouldn't use the propitious 5/5 date to announce another delay?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Teddie is dead.
Morgana the new hotness.

Soon, Teddie will be dead for good.

 

[UmbraeCruxis]

Alright... This may mean were getting the game in a decent time. Hoping it's not a delay announcement, and it's 5/5 for persona 5, so I'm thinking it shouod be big. Atlus has trolled before though.... Plz be a non-delayed worldwide release, sexy limited edition that won't break my bank, and a sexy trailer ;-;

 

[ar4757]

Does SMT4 Apocalypse even have a date yet? Lol.

Unless they pull off a miracle here, expect P5 in English by December earliest imo!

P5's delays have always seemed like mainly due to the PS4, so a ton of text should have been handed over to ATLUS USA months ago. Too bad the 2015-er 2016 Hardin confirmations showed ATLUS JP doesn't like to share with USA

 

[jello44]

Soon, Teddie will be dead for good.

Good, because cats are infinitely superior.

All hail the new hotness.

 

[ShaggsMagoo]

I'm going to guess this thing will announce an August release date for Japan and then at E3 we get a November release date for NA during the Sony press conference.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Good, because cats are infinitely superior.

All hail the new hotness.

Best thing about persona 5 is that teddy is no more.

 

[semiconscious]

A release date is what I hope is being announced.

first post. by now, impossible to get excited about anything other than this ...

 

[NoctisVsStar]

What a time to be alive

 

[hughesta]

Can't wait to see the first PS5 exclusive.

 

[koutoru]

Best thing about persona 5 is that teddy is no more.

Just wait until you find out what's inside morgana.

 

[paolo11]

If Persona 5 comes out this year, 2016 is a JRpg powerhouse year(Star Ocean, SMT4A, Ffxv).

I will stay tuned on May 5.

 

[Setsu00]

I'm going to join a shady detective agency if September 15, 2016 ends up being the release date.

Why do these countdowns always pop up whenever I have to write a paper?

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Been waiting, still waiting for that release date.

 

[Sjefen]

i really really hope they will announce a WW release date.....

 

[DrunkShogun]

Just wait until you find out what's inside morgana.

That's what I thought but at least there's a moment of peace between teddy being forgotten and Morgana true form being revealed. Hoping there's no actual inside reveal.

 

[Diprosalic]

hoping for Holidays 2018 in EU.

 

[DannyDanger]

I feel like they were waiting for the FFXV date to make sure they don't have to go head to head

 

[Man Called Aerodynamics]

Can't wait to play this game! Is it Winter 2014 yet?

 

[Son Of D]

If it's still releasing this year then I think it'll be December. It avoids FFXV in September and early October, avoids other big games in October and November and still releases before Christmas.

As for Europe, well it'll probably be April-May 2017.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Just wait until you find out what's inside morgana.

Unbearable

 

[Envelope]

Looking forward to the 2017 release date announcement

 

[shadowkat]

Release date pls.

 

[Menitta]

I'm so tired of the 2017 joke. It'll happen this year.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Just wait until you find out what's inside morgana.

I hope it's just another smaller Morgana.

 

[oti]

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."

;_;

 

[Copper]

Considering the said on stage they were planning a global release last year, I fully expect it this year.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

To my EU boys please be strong

 

[DNAbro]

I'm so tired of the 2017 joke. It'll happen this year.

Sadly I don't think people are saying it as a joke.

This is going to be a release date announcement for this year, at least in Japan. A little pessimism is okay but damn.

 

[ar4757]

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"

I don't think anyone would mind lol

 

[Jb]

;_;

I legitimately can't tell what kind of food this is supposed to be.

 

[oti]

I legitimately can't tell what kind of food this is supposed to be.

Don't even bother. It's trash.

 

[bakedpony]

December 2016 would be cool

 

[Elios83]

I'm expecting the Japanese release date being announced, this summer.
US release date will be announced later, still this year.
European release date...lol 2017 lol

 

[UmbraeCruxis]

Considering the said on stage they were planning a global release last year, I fully expect it this year.

Wait, they did? Last we checked, it was just Summer for japan and just 2016 for the States with Europe left out to dry somewhere. Are you referring to FF15?

 

[True Fire]

I'm so tired of the 2017 joke. It'll happen this year.

Sweet summer child

 

[the_sun_king]

EEEEEEEEEEEE. FINALLY. SOMETHING.

Spoiler

This is how thirsty I am for any info on this game.

 

[Miroku129]

VR mode confirmed

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I hope it's just another smaller Morgana.

 

[hughesta]

I can't believe we're actually getting new info I legit thought this game was something I was imagining to torture myself

 

[Acquiescence]

Good, because cats are infinitely superior.

All hail the new hotness.

Morgana will be even hotter when the inevitable transformation scene occurs. You know it's gonna happen.

 

[the_sun_king]

On the other hand the way they introduced the first gameplay trailer after the Persona live show was really awesome.

God, I loved that reveal of PV1.

Spoiler

I'm kinda hoping for a mini-version of this at Sony's E3 presentation where all the lights on the stage go red, we hear the English VA for the Phantom for the first time, then BOOM, English version of PV3! It can even be edited down to a shorter run time; I would just love any presence of P5 at a big Sony presser.

 

[_Ryo_]

I can't wait for this announcement that will be that there will be a Persona 5 announcement at E3, where it is further announced that Persona 5 will receive a worldwide release, Q1 2017.

That means everyone will have to wait, and suffer. yay.

 

[Brandon F]

Guaranteed to be a meme-laden clothing line announcement.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

I'm so tired of the 2017 joke. It'll happen this year.

"In order to add support for PS4K through NEO mode and to ensure that everyone is getting a truly memorable experience, we had to delay the game for another 6 months. We apologize for any inconvenience that this delay may bring and ask you to stay excited for the marvelous experience that is Persona 5."

 

[mdubs]

August 2016 worldwide (meaning NA and JP)

Believe

 

[Englebert3rd]

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."

That and they will add: "The European release has been cancelled".
