In today’s “Take Tokyo Tower” livestream event, Atlus released further details about Persona 5, confirming a Japanese release date of Sept. 15 and a North American release before the end of this year.
The highlight of the event came at the end, in the form of a nearly five-minute long trailer for the game that shows never-before-seen characters, new gameplay, and some incredible settings, including a glittering neon casino and a Mayan-looking ancient temple. Check it out below:
The trailer hints at the return of many elements of the series fans know and love: dungeon crawling in unique and memorable environments, the daily dramas of high school life, crazy-looking bosses, awkward misunderstandings at the beach and creepy Velvet Room attendants.
Atlus also confirmed Persona 5 will appear at this year’s E3 in Los Angeles, which takes place June 14-16.
