Get ready to summon your Personas and save the world once again!
At first, it was simply a high school-themed spin-off to the well received Shin Megami Tensei, now it is one of the biggest Japanese video game franchises to date. Persona has slowly managed to climb its way to the top and with more than 15 million units sold worldwide, it is safe to say that the franchise has garnered a steady following.
This year marks the 25th anniversary since the release of the first installment of the Persona games, Revelations: Persona. As part of the celebration, Atlus recently announced that there will be seven upcoming Persona projects in the works. The first surprise is set to be revealed in September this year and the celebration will span until autumn next year.
