Persona 5 Strikers to Be Released Internationally in February

In 2019, ATLUS announced that one of the first home video game console spin-off games developed around Persona 5 would be Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers. This was to be a co-development between themselves and Koei Tecmo’s Omega Force studio, and be very much a Persona-themed ‘Warriors’ game in a similar vein to The Legend of Zelda’s Hyrule Warriors. Having released in Japan a few months back, it was more a matter of when rather than if Atlus West would be bringing the game to international audiences. And in recent days, we received confirmation.

Atlus West has announced that the game, under the localised title Persona 5 Strikers, will be available on the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Windows PC from 23 February 2021. Taking the Phantom Thieves away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo, Persona 5 Strikers takes the gang on a road trip, where they find themselves once again striking back against the corruption overwhelming cities across Japan. What was a summer vacation with close friends takes a sudden turn as a distorted reality emerges – as they are made to reveal the truth and redeem the hearts of those imprisoned at the center of the crisis!

Developed by ATLUS and Omega Force, Persona 5 Strikers is a 1-player only action adventure RPG involving the cast of Persona 5 (There are no crossover characters, unlike the Persona 4 spin-off games). The game will feature English and Japanese voice overs, with an array of subtitle options for console (English, French, Italian, Spanish, German) and PC (English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chinese Subtitles).
