Persona 5 Scramble Western Release explicitly confirmed via Koei Tecmo Financials
- Thread starter Helix
- Start date
i understand times are tough but man a Financial report? I would ask why Atlus can't just say something but this is Atlus so what am i to expect
I just wish this was a worldwide release, the game definitely has western appeal, I don't see why they wouldn't put everything together before.
you say that yet that's what is supposed to be happening with SMT5
It's Atlus. The only reason we're getting SMTV as a WW simultaneous release next year is because Nintendo stepped in.
They are doing that with SMTV
Iknow, pigs have literally started flying.
It was mentioned in previous financial statements too: https://www.siliconera.com/persona-...ed-in-koei-tecmo-fiscal-year-report-for-2019/
Can't say I was aware of that since I'm not particularly interested in mainline SMT, could it be due to Nintendo having a larger role in development and publishing though? Both Persona 4 Arena games were fully localised and released only a few months apart due to Arcsys.
Not explicitly. This could have just been about the Asian release. This time, it's explicit.
I'm doubtful this would happen without Nintendo's involvment tbh.
The fact that Atlus has been so coy about this has been incredibly frustrating. Covid delaying things is fine but we all knew this was coming so why does Atlus have to leave us in the dark. As if they're going to decide against localising this.
It has nothing to do with Nintendo, Atlus themselves said they were going to start pushing for worldwide releases in 2018. Things just take time to come together. https://personacentral.com/sega-aim...rldwide-releases-cites-atlus-usa-proficiency/
I was just wondering yesterday where this localization was. It seemed an eerily long time to wait to say anything about it. IIRC one of the longest waits between Japanese release to localization announcement was SMTIV Apocalypse releasing in Japan about two months before it's localization was announced.
OP

the uncertainty on this project for the west is kinda crazy so it's reasonable to doubt that it wouldn't happen lol. that being said, this needs to happen now!
Well duh. If fucking Arslan came to the west there's no reason this wouldn't. It's just being published and devloped by two companies notorious for being slow as hell in moving stuff over.
I'd guess later this year for release. Can't think of any big coming out from Lori Tecmo then.

Between this, 13 Sentinels, Yakuza 7, SMT3 HD, SMT5, Persona 5 Royal & Sakura Wars both of which just came out a couple of months back and who knows what else in the works secretly, I'd say Atlus USA are pretty busy right now. It's a very busy year for them actually considering the size of those games and they're offering EFIGS localization for some of those games. I can wait.
I mean, why wouldn't it? They localized P5 Dancing and just released the anime with a dub. They wouldn't just suddenly skip the sequel.
Well well.
I figured as much that all port duties would be on KT. Likely has been taking a minute due to COVID and working localization with Sega/Atlus.
Wonder if it'll get a PC/Xbox versions added with the western release. That's not a portbeg as that has been the MO with recent sega-related titles (VC4, Yakuza 7, Monkey Ball, etc).

Since I've only played Persona 5 Royal, not sure if want but it's good there is finally confirmation.
