As well, Persona 5 is still releasing with a PlayStation 3 version, meaning that those that haven’t yet upgraded to next-gen consoles won’t have to worry about needing to upgrade to play.
Those in Japan will also be able to grab a special collector’s edition that celebrates the series’s 20 year anniversary. Inside is a soundtrack CD of the best music from every Persona title, an art book, and the “Special Collaboration” DLC, which comes with the outfit sets below.
A last final piece, Persona 5 will be at E3, which is where we’ll likely hear more about the title’s position in the West: release date, special editions, and more.
