Persona 5 Royal will launch for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam alongside its recently announced Xbox Series, Xbox One, and Windows PC versions on October 21, ATLUS announced.
Additionally, Persona 4 Golden will come to PlayStation 4, and Persona 3 Portable to PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam alongside their Xbox Series, Xbox One, and Window PC releases in 2023.
It should also be noted that the Japanese website for the three titles notes that Persona 4 Golden and Persona 3 Portable will be digital-only titles across all platforms. No such thing is noted for Persona 5 Royal. The English website does not have any notes.
Given the lack of PlayStation 5 versions for Persona 4 Golden and Persona 3 Portable, Gematsu reached out to ATLUS to confirm whether the Xbox Series versions of these titles are native to the platform, versus Xbox One versions that are backward compatible, but the company has yet to respond.
Here is an overview of each game, via ATLUS:
- Persona 5 Royal – Forced to transfer to a high school in Tokyo, the protagonist has a strange dream. “You truly are a prisoner of fate. In the near future, ruin awaits you.” With the goal of “rehabilitation” looming overhead, he must save others from distorted desires by donning the mask of a Phantom Thief. Persona 5 Royal makes its epic return with previously released DLC included in the base game!
Persona 4 Golden – They say your soulmate will appear if you stare into a television set on a rainy night… This strange rumor slowly spreads through the rural town of Inaba, the protagonist’s new home, just as a chain of mysterious murders begin. As the protagonist and his teammates chase after the truth, they find themselves opening the door to another world. For the first time, enjoy Persona 4 Golden with text in French, Italian, German, and Spanish!
Persona 3 Portable – If I say there’s an hour “hidden” between one day and the next…would you believe me? This unknown time is the “Dark Hour.” Unfamiliar stillness swallows the city, people turn into eerie coffins, and otherworldly monsters called Shadows swarm. One night, the protagonist is attacked by these Shadows. When all hope seems lost, the power of the heart, their Persona, is awakened. Featuring enhanced graphics, Persona 3 Portable will also be available with French, Italian, German, and Spanish text for the first time!
