This has been a good year for fans of the Shin Megami Tensei series. SMT spinoff Persona 5 got its own spinoff with Persona 5 Strikers, we’ve gotten a little more news on SMT 5, and now the remastered SMT 3 preorder has gone live.

The hype for Persona 5 Strikers has been real and I, for one, have been feeling it. As some people have gotten the game early, I’ve been cautiously looking over their shoulders for any kind of sneak peeks at what the game looks like. Something I’ve noticed in all my snooping is that people playing the game
The Persona 5 Strikers Deluxe Edition has already released to the world, with the Standard Edition releasing in just two days.

It’s been said in plenty of other places on DualShockers, but for me, Persona 5 is simply a stellar game; one that I wouldn’t think could be easily followed up between its exceptional music, stylish visuals, and incredible RPG gameplay. By the time I finished Persona 5 Royal last year, I knew its world and
Leading up to the launch of Persona 5 Strikers, Cassandra Lee Morris (Morgana’s VA) has been interviewing her cast members quarantine style in a fun and informative series of “Voice Actors Chat.” The most recent one stars Ryuji’s VA, Max Mittelman, in which the two (according to the official description) “chat about college, how we

Thankfully, if you’re trying to find some new accessories based around the beloved JRPG series, you’ll be able to look forward to some stylish new timepieces based on the series’ most acclaimed entries very soon.

Even though I spent just short of 100 hours with Persona 5 Royal last summer, it was arguably the fastest 100 hours that I’ve likely spent with any game. Banding together with the Phantom Thieves to steal hearts and take down the most corrupt denizens of Tokyo never lost its charm thanks to its effortless
With 2020 now firmly in the rearview mirror, a new year means a host of new milestones with this year being no different.

As someone that played through Persona 5 Royal over the summer, I’ve continued to miss my time spent with the Phantom Thieves after finally completing the game for the first time.

Ever since its launch in 2017, Persona 5 was one of those games that haunted my ever-growing backlog. I would tell myself I’d play it and then life would get in the way, other games would release, and school would keep me busy. A part of what made me put this game off for so
