I mean it’s nothing new at this point, but yesterday they did present the game in a different way. If you didn’t know any better you’d think this would be a normal SP game with optional co-op and that’s it.

Q: Is there a chance that, with its overseas popularity, the Persona series could sell 5 million copies in its first year?

A: By increasing the number of platforms it is available on and the regions it is released in, we have been increasing the sales of Persona 5. We believe that it would be possible for a major Persona title, such as a numbered release, to sell 5 million copies in its first year by releasing it on multiple platforms and simultaneously worldwide from day one.

Looking good for multiplat

To think, there were some that thought Persona should remain one platform…

It’s perfect time to make this game multiplatform with Square’s current marriage to Sony and abandoning traditional JRPG for that franchise. I think it’s perfect opportunity for Persona to become a major franchise

PC, PS5, Series and Switch 2 on Day 1?

That combined with the series being bigger than ever and the hype going into 6 at an all time high, I think it would do 5 million easy

Yeah, it will have a huge launch if it’s on all of those platforms. I think being day one on switch 2 will be huge because a series like persona is perfect for handheld

Especially in Japan, Nintendo just completely dominates over there when it comes to software

Microsoft is really all in.

That Series X deal seems kinda nutty, that’s pretty much getting an X for $350 or less

Redfall Title Update 3

Besides numerous fixes, this caught my eye:

We’re continuing development of The Hero Pass and we’re excited to share more about Redfall’s new heroes and other updates later next year. We hope you enjoy Game Update 3!

I dropped it halfway through and didn’t touch RE again until RE 7. Arguably the best RE game is Code Veronica and the real sequel to RE 2 so it should be remade first. Capcom remaking the games that the true RE fans don’t want makes zero sense.

Remake the games that are actually worth remaking. 5 and 6 don’t apply. lol

I don’t care about Persona whatsoever but Microsoft should go get the marketing deal for the game to ensure that it releases on Xbox. I also see this game being cross-gen so PC, PS4/PS5, XBO/XS, Switch and Switch 2. So 7 platforms total.

We had that what’s-his-name insider saying “I’m guessing it’s exclusive”, I would think someone with “credit” like that would have been smarter about that kind of guess, it was so obvious that Sega was done with exclusivity.

Anyway, it’s certainly a big target. IMO it definitely needs to hit Switch 2 as well as the other platforms day 1 (I mention Switch 2 because a lot of current Atlus stuff, even something low-tier like Soul Hackers 2, skipped Switch) to reach that number.

In other Atlus news, info dump on Unicorn Overlord. Still shocking Vanillaware, a company adverse to PC, is shipping an Xbox release day and date.
