This will put it right in between the big hitters like Final Fantasy VII Remake, The Last of Us Part 2, DOOM Eternal and Cyberpunk 2077.
While there is no official release date, there was a rumored leak in GameInformer but it wasn’t confirmed to be official. Meanwhile, those in Japan can get the game once it is out on October 31 exclusively for the PS4. Atlus also has a Persona spin-off, Persona 5 Scramble, set to launch on Nintendo Switch and PS4.
