New PS4 Persona 5 Screenshots Emerge

Sony’s Japanese PlayStation website has launched a new section devoted to the PS4 version of upcoming RPG Persona 5, and along with it, we’ve got a batch of new high-resolution screenshots to fawn over.

Many of the screenshots look to be taken directly from scenes shown off in the game’s debut trailer, while others were previously available only in small images on the official Japanese website. There’s a mixture of images from combat, social areas, and dungeons, as well as one of the game’s ridiculously stylish menu system.

Persona 5 was originally announced as a PS3 game back in 2013. It was then confirmed for release on PS4 last year with an expected release date of 2015. The aforementioned debut trailer was released in February, which we did a video dissecting.

At the time, Persona 5 director Katsura Hashino offered some new information about the game, explaining, “For this game, we’re going with a challenge that fuses together a juvenile school setting that is as large as life, together with a picaresque romance. In the previous game, we wrote a story that involved having a justice group chase down a bad guy that could easily be feared by just about anyone.

“This time, it’s about a group of high school students that are being ‘chased’ by unexpected occurrences due to the justice they believe in. We’re writing [the story] to convey a thrilling everyday life in the shoes of these characters, that are as large as life, in this juvenile school setting.”
