Sorry, Persona fans: you won’t be dating new waifus and husbandos until next year. Atlus announced today that Persona 5 will be out in North America on February 14, 2017.

That’s five months after Japan gets the fifth Persona, and it might come as a bummer to North American gamers who hoped to go on cat burglary dates this year. On the plus side, at least now we have plenty of time for FFXV?

[KinofChaos]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Eh that's fine with me

 

[zeromcd73]

EU plz save us.

Wait...

 

[DKHF]

Damn... Though I'm not surprised.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Yeah, I was expected something like this. Doesn't make ti less disappointing.

 

[Lord Azrael]

Not the best news to wake up to. Oh well.

 

[Loudninja]

Eh thats not bad.

 

[BronsonLee]

I expected it to be a lot farther away tbh

 

[Angel_DvA]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

.

 

[Stone Ocean]

I fucking knew it

 

[SamuelSupreme]

Oh

Guess I'll only have FFXV to keep my meds warm

 

[YianGaruga]

Did anyone really expect something else?

Like really

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Instead of releasing two weeks before FFXV, it's releasing two weeks before Horizon. Great news.

 

[Vinc]

Better than I expected. Awesome!

 

[chronic_archaic]

Damn!

 

[KZXcellent]

It's before March. I'm fine with this!

 

[OléGunner]

Well my backlog is immense and I'm still trying to complete P4G.

No word on EU peasants release date though?
I hear they are always last in line, months past NA launch.

 

[dead monkey uk]

So Persona 5 and Horizon Zero Dawn both Feb 2017

 

[down 2 orth]

Well that's bullshit.

 

[tmespe]

2018 for EU then.

 

[GravityInsanity]

 

[Walpurgis]

 

[Qurupeke]

Maybe they're planning a EU release this year!

 

[ys45]

I knew it

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Man, two weeks before Horizion and potentially a month before Zelda.

Early 2017 is going to be insane.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Horizon and Persona in February...

Not like this...

 

[SgtCobra]

EUROPE 2018

BELIEVE

 

[Vincent Grayson]

February 2017 already shaping up to be a baller month for PS4.

 

[FataIChoice]

There goes my plan to be unemployed and free with my time at the release.

 

[LowParry]

Expected. Ah well.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Delay3.

 

[delSai]

Fuck everything

 

[Rymuth]

Welp

 

[Jawbreaker]

Well, shit.

 

[Newtype-001]

Glorious Europa 2071

 

[DriftingSpirit]

lmao

 

[wrowa]

After all of these delays I somehow got my hopes up that Atlus USA had enough time to work on the localization, so that they can put out an English version shortly after the Japanese one. I guess that wasn't the case.

That's too bad, really.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Wait, did press sneak fuck just delayed another one?

Spoiler

/s

 

[Ridley327]

Same gap as Persona 4 (vanilla, at least), so it's not a longer wait. I wonder what happened that caused the initial "released in the same year" plans to be dropped.

 

[thenexus6]

Autumn is jam packed this year, i'd be happy with spring 2017 in the West.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

I have enough this year anyway


:/

 

[sixteen-bit]

PS3 release in 2017 pls

 

[braves01]

Sucks, but yeah I imagine it's a beast to localize. As long as it still comes out on PS3 I'm cool with it.

 

[captainpat]

FUUUUUCK

 

[napata]

Man, two weeks before Horizion and potentially a month before Zelda.

Early 2017 is going to be insane.

Yeah just like 2016 was going to be insane.

 

[Tsosie]

Shame, but if FFXV is as deep as we hope it is then I will not be too disappointed. Between this, FFXV, World of FF, and I am Setsuna we have like 6 months of pure RPG goodness to look forward to.

 

[Black Republican]

was expected, noone should be shocked

 

[CrimsonSquall]

Thank you Atlus. Now I don't have to divy my time up between Persona and FFXV. I have time to play that, World of FF, prolly KH II.8 and shuffle between Persona and Horizon in February. Well played Persona Team

 

[ChosenPredator]

seems alot of stuff is coming out or getting pushed waaaaaaaaaaay back to 2017
