Unfortunately for the fans, the release date for the highly-anticipated "Persona 5" has been pushed back once again to Summer 2016. Nonetheless, game director Katsura Hashino apologized and explained to the fans the reason behind the postponement of the scheduled launch.
According to Christian Post, the forthcoming role-playing video game "Persona 5," which was supposedly due late this year, is once again moved. During the 2015 Tokyo Game Show, Atlus announced that the game's release date will be again moved to Summer of 2016.
It is worth noting that "Persona 5" was originally intended for a Winter of 2014 release date. From there, it has been five years since its development stage, thus it's no surprise that fans are quite eager to try out the game.
Crossmap, on the other hand, reported that Katsura Hashino explained and apologized to the fans for the recent adjustments to the game's release date. Hashino understood the entire clamor, "but I hope you'll give us just a little more time." He went on to express that once "Persona 5" is out, "it'll all be worth it in the end." In addition, Hashino reportedly claimed just how people started loving RPG again thanks to video games like "Persona."
In related news, some fans were discussing on "Persona 5's" Reddit page about the possibility of the game having a DLC as soon as released, as reported by Ecumenical News. It is believed that people on that thread were anticipating seeing some sort of cosmetic downloadable contents for the game when it arrives next year. However, as far as Katsura Hashino is concerned, the game director reportedly didn't reveal any further details in regards to "Persona 5's" DLC; hence it remains an interesting topic for fans to discuss.
Although "Persona 5" is to be expected sometime in Summer of 2016, there is no specific date yet to when it will be released. For now, fans can just hope that the delay is something that is good as what Katsura Hashino.
