DEVELOPMENTS ON PERSONA SERIES
The leaker MbKKssTBhz5 is back with new updates on the Persona series. After previously hinting at the possible arrival of multiple projects related to Persona, including Persona 5X and Persona ASA, the insider, who has always been close to Atlus, has new information that seems to cast shadows on the actual release of one of these.
POTENTIAL CANCELLATION OF PERSONA ASA
Through a series of tweets, MbKKssTBhz5 explains that Persona ASA could be canceled as Atlus wants to concentrate all its efforts solely on Persona 5X, a reinterpretation for mobile systems of Persona 5. The leaker adds that the official name of Persona ASA was supposed to be Persona Grand Stage and, contrary to previous rumors, it was not supposed to be a party game in the style of Mario Party, but rather a game in the style of Teamfight Tactics.
UNCERTAIN FUTURE FOR PERSONA GRAND STAGE
MbKKssTBhz5 currently has no concrete certainty about the possibility that work on Persona Grand Stage will be definitively halted, but the fact that in his tweets he refers to the game in the past tense could be a sign of a halt to the development of the project in favor of Persona 5X. It is worth noting that SEGA has confirmed the release of two Persona games in 2024, one of which is the already announced Persona 3 Reload coming to PC and PlayStation and Xbox consoles on February 2nd. Could the other project be Persona 5X?
REACTIONS FROM FANS AND INDUSTRY INSIDERS
The potential cancellation of Persona ASA and the focus on Persona 5X has sparked mixed reactions among fans and industry insiders. Some are disappointed at the thought of Persona Grand Stage being shelved, while others are excited at the prospect of Persona 5X receiving full attention from Atlus. Industry analysts are also closely following these developments, as the Persona series has a dedicated fan base and is considered a significant franchise in the gaming industry.
OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION FROM ATLUS OR SEGA
As of now, neither Atlus nor SEGA has officially commented on the status of Persona ASA or the rumored focus on Persona 5X. Fans and industry insiders are eagerly awaiting any official statements from the companies to provide clarity on the future of the Persona series and the potential projects in the pipeline. It remains to be seen whether Persona Grand Stage will see the light of day or if Persona 5X will take center stage as the next big release in the franchise.
CONCLUSION
The latest updates from the leaker MbKKssTBhz5 have raised intriguing questions about the direction of the Persona series, particularly in relation to the potential cancellation of Persona ASA and the rumored focus on Persona 5X. With SEGA confirming the release of two Persona games in 2024, fans and industry insiders are eagerly awaiting official announcements from Atlus or SEGA to shed light on the future of the beloved franchise. As the speculation continues, the gaming community remains divided on the potential outcomes, eagerly awaiting any official confirmations or denials regarding the fate of Persona ASA and the future of the Persona series.
