Amid all the chaos and confusion surrounding Persona 5 fans who are eagerly awaiting the latest installment to their favorite franchise, panic struck as others have insinuated that the supposed summer 2016 release of the much-awaited game will likely be scrapped in favor of a 2017 launch.
If these rumors have any truth to them, then it will not be the first time that P5’s maker, Atlus, has decided to hit the pause button on the highly-anticipated game’s release.
In the meantime, P5 fans can try to hold Atlus CEO Naoto Hiraoka to his word. Hiraoka has previously announced that the game will be launched come summer of 2016 — which should be anytime between July 20th to late August.
Sega acquires Atlus?
Recent Persona 5 updates claim that Sega has just recently completed its acquisition of Atlus, a move which the company initiated way back in 2014.
Analysts speculate that this development might be one of the major deciding factors that hinder Atlus from releasing Persona 5 sooner than most have previously expected.
While the last words heard from Atlus CEO Naoto Hiraoka in the past few months held promise that P5 is set to be released sometime this summer — there are no indications that the game’s release might be just around the corner.
