Persona games, all the way from the PS2 classics to the recent Persona 5 Strikers, have always carried the mainstream spotlight for the Shin Megami Tensei series. But devoted fans who have been following the franchise for years have an interesting lineup ahead of them.
The latest entry of the series continues to hide in the shadows, but the digital concert might be an ideal opportunity to showcase new footage. All the while Shin Megami Tensei 3 Nocturne is set to launch on both Switch and PS4 sometime this spring with some much-requested quality of life updates. Considering the release of Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Strikers on PC, paired with a discovery in the game's Unity configuration code, we might see more platforms announced in the near future.
