Atlus accidentally posted them on Instagram a few days ago
Update:Yup, it’s official, obvs. More info and better-quality trailers added below.
In this week of oh so many announcements, you can’t blame anyone for getting carried away and jumping the gun. Unfortunately for Persona developers Atlus, it seems they accidentally announced two games earlier than intended. Eagle-eyed fans say Atlus’s Instagram today posted trailers forPersona 3 Reload, a remake of the 2006 RPG, and grid-based tactics spin-offPersona 5 Tactica. While they’re no longer on the Insta, folks say they’ve saved the trailers so you can see them too.
Here’s Persona 5 Tactica, a grid-based tactics “strategy RPG adventure” spin-off launching November 17th on PC and Xboxes, including on Game Pass:
P3R producer Ryota Niitsuma and chief director Kazuhisa Wadatold IGNthat Reload won’t include additional content added with two re-releases, P3 FES and P3 Portable. A female protagonist option was one such newbit, added in P3P, so it seems that might not be an option here. That would be a shame.
Judging by the Xbox livery on the trailers, these announcements were possibly planned for Sunday’s big Xbox Games Showcase. Welp.Vague rumoursabout aPersona 3remake were already going already and this sure makes them look a whole lot firmer. If this were all a hoax, it would be a big effort.YUP
Our Ed started playingPersona 3 Portableafter it finally hit PC, andwas surprised and delightedthat it doesn’t feel nearly outdated as he’d feared. “Not only does it stand on its own as a fun high school mystery with an alarmingly dark undertone, it almost acts as a fun history lesson too,” he said.
