ATLUS USA released a story trailer for the long-awaited Japanese role-playing game Persona 5 in honor of this weekend’s PlayStation Experience 2016 convention, where it’s playable on the show floor.
Persona 5 has infamously seen multiple delays in the West and will now (hopefully) launch on April 4, 2017 in North America and Europe.
Here’s the official story synopsis:
After having his life ruined, the main protagonist of the game must start anew as the newest transfer high-school student at Tokyo’s Shujin Academy. However, he’ll soon discover that he has the ability to enter the hearts of people and force them to confront their true selves (for better or worse). With his newly discovered powers, the protagonist and his raucous group of outcast friends form the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to help unmask the ills of society. It’s only a matter of time before their actions become noticed by undesirables, so will they be able to bring justice to everyone who deserves it in time?
