There’s a new role-playing game arriving soon in town. But you must wait a little longer before you see it in action. The game is “Persona 6.” Here’s everything we know so far about this upcoming RPG.
What Is ‘Persona 6’?
“Persona 6” is part of the “Persona” game series, a video game franchise owned by Sega, and developed and published by Atlus, the developer behind other popular titles, such as “Etrian Odyssey V,” “Radiant Historia,” and “Catherine.”
Categorized as an RPG, “Persona” is also considered a spin-off from the “Megami Tensei” franchise, which is also from Atlus.
The last game in the series, “Persona 5: The Phantom X,” has been a huge hit. It was released only last April, so developers have every right to say gamers should give them a break and not demand another installment too soon.
But don’t worry because “Persona 6” is definitely coming to fruition.
Gameplay
“Persona 6” is speculated to share the same bare turn-based fights and demon-catching mechanics from “Megami Tensei,” but the former will focus on a much more formidable social aspect.
Presuming that this upcoming game will follow this similar structure, as well as those of the rest of the “Persona” series, it can be concluded that you will play as your own main character in a modern-day setting somewhere in Japan.
Furthermore, each day will be divided into chunks of time you can choose whether to spend hanging out with your buddies or increasing your social connections. Perhaps getting jobs to earn money, increasing stats, and performing side activities?
When the night falls, this is when things get even more exciting. You enter into some alternate version of the world you encounter when the sun is up, filled with demons you can battle with, and not just battle with them – but also negotiate with, recruit, and even level up like your monsters in “Pokémon.” It, indeed, sounds weird, and “Demon Slayer” fans will find it funny that you control demons as you fight monsters, but that’s what makes “Persona 6” unique if this ever comes true.
Several hours of gameplay? “Persona 6” will have you covered.
Platforms
Knowing these is important as it will determine whether you need to shop for a new console or not. However, what we can offer you so far are details based on what it was with the previous “Persona” games.
“Personas 5, 4, and 3” have all been released on various platforms, including PC, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox. Considering that trend, it is safe to say that “Persona 6” will also come to as many platforms as possible. Not exclusively, definitely.
Release Date
Some Redditors recently speculated that “Persona 6” is already 95 percent complete and will be released in the next two to three years. They said that earlier this year, so you can imagine how close it is to reality by this time.
But then again, there is still no official information from the developers about the release date as of this time of writing.
So, we suggest here on PVP Live that you continue enjoying “Persona 5: The Phantom X” or other previous “Persona” games you have. For sure, the developers are working on it.
