Atlus has announced that Persona 5 will be released for Japanese PS3s in the winter of 2014. No gameplay was shown, but the reveal trailer provided a crimson image of shackles laying beside chairs.
PERSONA5 -
Earlier today, we got new details from a Dengeki PlayStation magazine report on Atlus’ upcoming Persona 5, which talked about how the game will be an RPG that sends a strong message of catharsis, after overcoming trials to free yourself from your shackles. Further updates from magazine reports have now surfaced.
The characters of Persona 5, Atlus have shared, will be living the hard lives of modern-day society, where each one of them will be restrained by something. Atlus are working on a story that can allow players to experience a new world, along with a new sense of values, together with characters who will bring out a strong sense of reality.
As previously reported, the game will take place in the series’ usual juvenile school setting, but with a different mood; however, Atlus emphasizes that although Persona 5 will have a different mood, they aim to make it into a new game that will still provide a feeling of reassurance to the fans of the series.
While Atlus’ characteristics will be present in Persona 5, another one of their goals is to have players feel passion, cry and laugh, then finally feel a sense of elation when all is said and done.
Persona 5 will be coming out winter 2014 for PlayStation 3.
I'm really excited for this one, and very worried at the same time. Cause if they pull another "region lock", I'm gonna flip out.
Still nice to see more Persona.
I think the only reason why they put a region lock on Persona 4 Arena was because the game supported dual language and that they were released almost simultaneously. Also, it's a fighting game so there's no language barrier. P5 will be different.

Part of it was the main reason. Games are more expensive in Japan and Japanese gamers knew that importing is a much cheaper option.
On topic, looks like P5 will have the dark theme that other Persona/SMT games has. I'm really hyped.

Eh, hope so. I'm also a bit worried for story elements.
With the theme and all, I'd be great if they were more inclusive and diverse with the characters, but that's just me.
Talaga namang next year pa labas nito sa US eh. Ang tanong eh kelan lalabas eto sa Japan, kung this year ba, baka kasi kung mapush pa sa Japan sa 2015 eh matatagal tagal pa ang US version baka maging late 2015 or early 2016 pa labas nya.
