Reportedly, Persona 5 updates will be revealed during the E3 2015 press conference where fans expect its multiplayer mode included as well as new set of playable characters for the gameplay. Other expectations were outlined as this role-playing game will arrive sometime in summer this year.
Known as 5th title for Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series, this game sets every player to the life of a school boy, which uses his ability to summon facets of his psyche - the Personas. Thus, all throughout the gameplay, different exploration features will be added to its elements different from the previous entries.
Moreover, each player will be facing different variations of the environments, all tied up to the plot and theme from those randomly generated environments. So, they require wit to use wield their characters to their respective Personas as well as their weapons to use to every battle. These weapons come to two types: a gun and a melee weapon.
When its development was first confirmed by Katsura Hashino in 2012, a lot of fans were speculating about its possible release. Aside from that, to make good quality graphics for the next title, the game developer ensured that it would improve its speed though they revealed that fans should keep waiting until they finish the game.
Several inspirations of music was included, aside from the special-built engine that they used for the gameplay. They said that they used the acid jazz elements for a good mood or atmosphere for Persona 5.
In terms of its characters, players should take note that the characters themselves are set to break the norms of the society they are living to properly express themselves. So, gamers are expected to find that courage for their characters to go outside the [normal] limits which are already set by the previous generations.
With these being said, this summer 2015, as per Atlus announced earlier that they will be releasing the game in PS3 and PS4 consoles, fans could guess what kind of game they will be playing once the next Persona series will be launched.
Game director Katsura Hashino said in an interview, "This time around, though, the protagonists of Persona 5 themselves are on the run for doing what they think is right after something happens completely out of the blue. That mixture of thrills and no-so-larger-than-life cast of characters is what composes the idea of 'academy juveniles' for us."
Part of these expectations, aside from the characters, gameplay, improved speed, graphics, they could also have it in their mind that the mode might be added to multiplayer mode as well. Reported by one source, Atlus will be adding a more proactive approach when its comes to its MP mode for the game, through having the introduction of a multiplayer-only arena.
They said that through this way, players could have a chance to team up to have their battles together to unlock in-game rewards.
There will be Persona 3 Portable duplicate that will be out soon wherein players will be given an option for a playable female protagonist. Thus, there will be a change in terms of the dynamics present in the game, especially in the kind of treatment to receive in the in-game.
Persona 5 will be released in the upcoming summer 2015 in PS3 and PS4 platforms along with new additional features and much more improved gameplay for avid gamers.
