In a brief statement, publisher Atlus have announced that Persona 5 will not release in 2015, and will now release in Japan and the Americas in 2016.
The company added, “The strengths of the Persona series are compelling characters, a moving, relatable story, and a borderline obsession with minutiae – elements which can’t be rushed or taken lightly. So while ATLUS realizes the frustration and disappointment that this must cause for the JRPG-loving public, please know that we are delaying the game in order to make sure the next iteration of the Persona series lives up to the expectations of fans.”
Persona 5 will be released in 2016 exclusively on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.
