Persona 5 Scramble localization not mentioned at KT's Q2 2020 report

We're coming up on a year of this game releasing in Japan and still nothing official about localization. That is super weird, even by Atlus standards.
Atlus is probably just to busy as of late. Between COVID and releasing both Yakuza 7 and 13 Sentinels, both of which are massive games dub/translation wise.
Yeah I assume this is more a product of localization delays due to Covid than anything. The game has proven successful abroad so it'll drop in the West sometime in 2021.
huh, not sure why it was deleted. added a screencap.
it was delayed anyways but is probably pushed back because of usual covid delays + probable adjustments for PS5 version
Very strange for Atlus West to have not confirmed this one yet. While their western releases have seen lengthy delays, they've done good at least confirming the western release early up until this point. Everything in recent memory was confirmed either before or shortly after the initial Japanese release.
Yeah why the hell it is taking so long to even get a release date, I know Atlus is Atlus but it's pretty crazy.
And then Nintendo able to reveal a Musou 2 months before release and it'll be worldwide at the same day, and it'll have full localization, voices included, for multiple languages.

What I'm saying is that Koei Tecmo is even removing localization mentions from older economic reports. This might be not happening at all, period.
This, along with a slide for HW is all they mention about future console games from them.
And, of course, the revised document from July. (Before = First slide, After = Second slide)
Don't see how anyone could be surprised anymore by this. Atlus has been like this forever. It's best to not even think about it until it comes
It would be really bizarre for this to not get localized given the massive success of Persona 5 and the fact that Atlus has localized a ton of Persona spin-off games in the past.
There's no doubt this gets a western release. The success of P5 and Royal has been huge. With COVID and all the other projects Atlus had on the go this year it's not surprising to me that the wait has been this long.
The removal from those slides definitely imply it's not coming before March 31st, 2021 anymore. But it doesn't mean that it's not happening at all now. It doesn't make any sense for Persona 5 Scramble to not be released in the West at all. I'd recommend to not overreact at the moment.
It's possible both Hyle Warriors and Nocturne HD will be announced and released WW in the time between P5S' japanese release and its WW release lmao.
This is why no one was taking seriously anything about Atlus's alleged desire to have faster localizations for their games, since this is looking to be at least a year late to the party, and likely more than that. Anyone still thinking that Nintendo isn't having a huge hand in SMT5 being a simultaneous WW release needs to realize that this is who Atlus is.
ATLUS is weird. I feel like I'm back in the 90s/early 2000s again when it comes to dealing with their region releases
I don't understand the feet dragging on this one. I really really hope this doesn't mean localization is cancelled, as that would make zero sense. Persona is clearly a viable franchise in the west. People would buy a (kind of it) Musou game of it.
I also hope it has nothing to do with the fact PS5 is coming so soon. That's never stopped Atlus from localizing games on out of date platforms though.

I'm starting to think this is getting a Xbox version outside of Japan. Though Atlus is weird about localizing their games.
I think they definitely will. I bet Nocturne HD comes out in English by February.
Well, we never got Koromaru or Kasumi as DLC for the rhythm spin-off games (and Akechi never got a ball stage outfit), so I highly doubt it's for adding additional content.
I can only guess that they don't want Scramble to compete with Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, and unless stated otherwise, the game didn't do too hot when it launched in Japan. In the case for the other projects that Altus has in development/COVID-19 delays for localization, maybe it isn't as big of a priority to get this game out for Western localization.
The ball isn't in their court, unfortunately. If they were the ones behind all aspects of the game, we would have had it by now in the west.
it's actually documented in this very thread that it's an outlier even among atlus west's normal behavior in several ways but ok?????????
