About Persona 5

“Persona 5 is a game about the internal and external conflicts of a group of troubled youth who live dual lives. They have the typically ordinary day-to-day of a Tokyo high-schooler – attending class, after-school activities, and part-time jobs. But they also undertake fantastical adventures by using otherworldly powers to enter the hearts of people. Their power comes from the Persona, the Jungian concept of the “self;” the game’s heroes realize that society forces people to wear masks to protect their inner vulnerabilities, and by literally ripping off their protective mask and confronting their inner selves do the heroes awaken their inner power, and use it to strive to help those in need. Ultimately, the group of Phantom Thieves seeks to change their day-to-day world to match their perception and see through the masks modern-day society wears.”

As stated above, Persona 5 will be released on Feb. 14, 2017, in North America and Europe, for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Pre-orders are now available at participating retailers for both versions of the game. For future news and updates on Persona 5, be sure to keep and eye on The Nerd Stash.
