'Persona 5' release date rumors: Next installment finally out in July?
"Persona" has been one of the most popular video games for so many years. With talks about a new installment being currently developed, fans are definitely eager to wait for its release date. However, they may have to wait a little more for its roll out as the company is still mum about its release date details.
Rumor has it that the game will be released May 2016 after it was announced by Naoto Hiraoka, Altus CEO, that the company is gearing up for a summer 2016 release. With only a month or two before the season starts, fans and critics still have not heard back from Hiraoka.
Meanwhile, Katsura Hashino, Altus designer and director, told Siliconera last month that the next installment of the franchise will be quite challenging to play compared to the previous ones.
"For this game, we're going with a challenge that fuses together a juvenile school setting that is as large as life, together with a picaresque romance. In the previous game, we wrote a story that involved having a justice group chase down a bad guy that could easily be feared by just about anyone," told Katsura. "We're writing to convey a thrilling everyday life in the shoes of these characters that are as large as life, in this juvenile school setting."
With regards to its anticipated release, N4BB believes that "Persona 5" will be released before the end of July, which is a slight delay from its original rumored roll out.
If the rumors prove to be true, "Persona" fans can definitely expect an announcement from the company anytime soon as July is already fast approaching.
It has been a long wait for so many followers of the game. Most of these fans have been hoping to get reliable news about the next installment; unfortunately, most of what they got are merely rumors and speculations.
