[The Cockatrice]

What an "amazing" reveal. Truly peak ATLUS. Thank you.

 

[Gonzito]

Very underwhelming announcement to be honest

 

[Amish Prince]

This reveal was such a troll, but definitely on brand for Atlus.

 

[xenosys]

What was that?

I hate those types of teasers. No release date, no gameplay. Safe to say this won't be coming out for the forseeable.

Looks spooky though.

 

[The_hunter]

Zombies?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Rumours said so.

Lame trailer though.

 

[bender]

I like the creepier tone of the teaser and hope that carries over to the main game.

 

[R6Rider]

Like no shit. Wtf are they doing?

 

[TheLikou]

"Want emancipation?" vibes. So 3 years from now.

 

[Emmy Ator Best]

We just witnessed one of the trailers of all time

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Have they announced the DLC that's only sold as a separate full-priced game yet?

 

[Danjin44]

Atlus always starts with teaser.

 

[T4keD0wN]

That was it?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Like the potential gothic / horror angle they got going.

 

[Thief1987]

Persona 6 is in development?
10 years after the last game? Wow, who would have thought...

 

[CrimsonSquall]

I'm a huge Persona fan. After all this time waiting, that was a really underwhelming teaser trailer.

They've had 10 years to plan this shit out, don't know why they chose this route.

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

No Switch 2??? They are smoking crack in that cemetery

 

[Seomel]

Honestly was worried it will be like this. They dont wanna overshadow p4r probably

 

[semiconscious]

headstones are kinda a p3 callback?...

 

[Danjin44]

Honestly was worried it will be like this. They dont wanna overshadow p4r probably

Atlus always does this and don't worry once they show gameplay they won't stop until they spoil everything.

 

[Hudo]

Well, that's an Atlus teaser alright. See you in 2030.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

Day one on Game Pass? Microsoft must have paid up for this.

 

[firegamer273]

looks like spooky persona

 

[Elios83]

Bleah what's the point of these announcements these days...we know it exists already.

 

[xanaum]

Yeah, it does look like something.

 

[uncreativename]

 

[Aressa]

That's a terrible logo

 

[mèx]

 

[Bojji]

At least it's not purple

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Remember when Bethesda announced Elder Scrolls 6?

 

[Judge Magister]

 

[uncreativename]

Remember when Bethesda announced Elder Scrolls 6?

 

[LordCBH]

No year and a very OG P5 trailer announce. We're still 5 years away lmao.

 

[MrRibeye]

Green slime and acidic fumes, if this is supposed to be a metaphor I'd say the game is about social toxicity

 

[Labadal]

Pretty lame, but I guess that they want all the focus on P4R,.

 

[bender]

No Switch 2??? They are smoking crack in that cemetery

It will sell hundreds of copies on Xbox though.

 

[Shubh_C63]

Presentation is everything in Persona.

Once they are ready they will reveal it in all its glory. The world is darker now, Persona will face what is relevant in these times.

 

[Aressa]

No year and a very OG P5 trailer announce. We're still 5 years away lmao.

I would say realistically 3 years.

 

[uncreativename]

No Switch 2??? They are smoking crack in that cemetery

Most of these Xbox trailers don't seem to mention the competing platforms, but it'll be on them. Notice it didn't mention Steam either. 0% chance it's not on there.

e: huh, according to google they did say it's coming to every other platform except Switch 2. Still, there's no way it's not getting a Switch 2 version at some point. Nintendo owners love these games way more than Xbox owners do.

 

[StereoVsn]

Atlus always starts with teaser.

Yeah, that also took forever to release afterwards. Whole thing looked meh.

P4R doesn't look to have S2 release, physical only mentions PS5 in Japan.

 

[poodaddy]

Hey everyone, here's a creepy as fuck teaser.

All right, now cue the Jpop and fashionably dressed teenagers dancing and talking about saving hearts.

This series is just not for me, but my wife gobbles this shit up, so I'm sure I'll be buying it on release as usual, whether I like it or not -_-

 

[ReyBrujo]

Lol at the thread title change

 

[Jinzo Prime]

No Switch 2??? They are smoking crack in that cemetery

It's a teaser at an Xbox showcase. Switch 2 can't be ruled out quite yet.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

10 years after P5's original release in Japan just to show the P6 logo, lol. It better release next year, but I already know it's probably 2028…

 

[uncreativename]

P4R doesn't look to have S2 release, physical only mentions PS5 in Japan.

It seems like an insane move, especially since way more Nintendo owners buy jrpgs than Xbox owners do. Still, no way there isn't a Switch 2 version at all imo, even if it ends up coming out a bit later.

 

[Witchilich]

No trailer in Playstation channel. How is Atlus planning to sell this game without advertising it to their core audience?

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Reminds me of P5 and the chairs n chains. Guess we'll get to play it in '29 or '30.

 

[jshackles]

Microsoft said specifically that they would list all known platforms in their trailers for this show, and they seemingly did with every other game.

Is this one actually going to be exclusive? lol

 

[xenosys]

This looked like something someone rustled together in a week to silence the leakers.

No release year? We ain't seeing this for at least another 2 years.
