Persona 5: E3 2014


Persona

Atlus, the brain behind the Persona games PlayStation users have been playing for years, is on the E3 2014 roleplaying game booth list.  Atlus has revealed Persona 5 to release sometime in 2015 for PS3 users.  No doubt a release for the new PS4 system was considered but probably postponed or ditched due to publishing costs or such things.  Atlus could be waiting to reveal the game on PS4 during the conference, but with their release of other games with Nintendo it could go either way.

Anime Fans

No matter how graphics systems develop and engines change the way people experience games, there will always be a following of gamers who hold plot and clever progression above all else.  Atlus has done well to provide a decent amount of choice and variety in the Persona franchise, Persona 5 does not look to disappoint.

Atlus normally offers several different plot lines to unfold depending on your interactions in the game.  After viewing the teaser I have no doubt that the story for Persona 5 will offer a plethora of freedom.

Vendetta

The teaser that can be found here, if you didn't see it earlier, shows an almost Guy Fox feel to it.  The darker themes of the franchise matches the teaser well and I believe fans will see it and be thrilled.  The mysterious web page and almost Anonymousesque video leaves fans to imagine the possibilities Atlus could reveal at the E3 conference.  It also shows how the developers are incorporating concepts of choice and freedom, the very things that make RPGs so appealing to gamers, and implementing them as key concepts in the story.

We know that Atlus will be at E3 and we can assume that at least one of its booths will be devoted to its head franchise.  Tell me in comments what you want to see Atlus present at E3 2014 this June.
