Persona 5 Tactica was revealed in the Xbox Games Showcase! Check out the Persona 5 Tactica Release Date, Gameplay, and Story here.
Persona 5 Tactica Release Date: November 17, 2023
The newest addition to the Persona series, Persona 5 Tactica, will release on November 17, 2023. It will be available on Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Windows, and Steam.
SEGA has confirmed that for Xbox, Windows, and Steam, only Digital versions will be available.
The trailer and release date was leaked a few days before it was officially revealed during the Xbox Games Showcase, and the name “P5T” was spotted weeks earlier by some eagle-eyed members of the community who noticed that the domain name P5T.jp was registered.
Persona 5 Tactica features an identical art style to the Persona Q games and the gameplay is that of a tactical RPG instead of the turn-based RPG that is the bloodline of the mainline series. The trailer showed new characters, both allies, and enemies, as well as new environments and UI.
Persona 5 Tactica Gameplay
The battle itself takes place in a grid, with Persona 5 Tactica being a tactical RPG as its name suggests. The main context of the characters remain largely the same, with each member of the Phantom Thieves (and their new ally) having a unique persona with a certain set of elemental offensive abilities, defensive abilities, buffs, and debuffs to help the party.
In Persona 5 Tactica, players will form a party of three members from the Phantom Thieves and Erina, while maneuvering through the fresh gameplay systems that the tactical RPG introduces.
The “One More” mechanic is making a return, along with summoning each character's Persona. However, the “All-Out Attacks” from the base Persona 5 game have been reimagined into “Triple Threat” attacks when the party has surrounded downed enemies.
Persona 5 Tactica Story
“After saving Joker and his friends, a mysterious girl, Erina the Rebel, offers them a unique proposition. Join the Phantom Thieves as they set out to usher in a revolution!”
It's a snowy winter day; graduation is looming, and the Phantom Thieves have gathered at LeBlanc to celebrate. But this is brought to an abrupt end as a strange phenomenon besets the TV, and the cafe begins to shake. As the Thieves find their bearings, an eerie light envelops the cafe door.
Upon cautiously opening it, they find a distant and unknown world waiting on the other side! After stumbling into a mysterious world reminiscent of medieval Europe, the group is attacked by a band of soldiers called Legionnaires.
Labeled as rebels by their assailants, Joker and his friends are surrounded, and all seems lost. In a stroke of luck, they are rescued by a mysterious girl named Erina the Rebel, who invites them to join her revolution.
The new character Erina also has her own description on the website that reads:
“Erina is a new character who saves the Phantom Thieves from a life-or-death situation. She's less suited to meticulously thinking things through than she is to recklessly charging in to save those who are suffering. However, it's this drive that has earned the trust of her followers in the Rebel Corps.
She enlists the Phantom Thieves in her efforts to revolt against the oppressive rulers of her city..”
