Official Persona 5 Five-Minute Recap Revealed

Ahead of the launch of Persona 5 Tactica later this week, Sega and Atlus have shared an official five-minute recap of Persona 5 to introduce the game to potential newcomers.

The premise of Persona 5’s narrative is briefly highlighted alongside the cast and the Phantom Thieves’ collective goal. The Persona 5 Royal-exclusive character, Kasumi Yoshizawa, is also mentioned.

The end of the video promotes Persona 5 Tactica while stating that the video alone is sufficient for brand-new players to dive into this new tactical JRPG.

You can view the official Persona 5 five-minute recap video below. English subtitles are available.

The gameplay in Persona 5 Tactica allows players to take a strategic position during battles. Characters can move around the field and take cover for added defense or take a chance to find an enemy’s weakness to deal extra damage. There are other ways to receive an additional hit that require you to defend and play strategically.

Each character has a variety of skills. Whenever you hit an enemy or get hit by an enemy during battle, the star-shaped Voltage gauge near the bottom right-hand side of the screen will fill up. Once the gauge is fully charged, you can execute a character-specific unique skill. Each character has their own skill tree, which can be reset at any time if you wish to create a different type of party.

Persona 5 Tactica will launch for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam on November 17, 2023.
