Team Persona at work on next numbered Persona game
In a Famitsu magazine interview leaked early from the magazine (and translated by Andriasang), Team Persona producer Katsura Hashino said that his team is currently focusing on the next numbered Persona game, which very likely means Persona 5. We must admit, our cynical nature forces us to note the possibility that more Persona 3 and 4 remakes would also have numbers on them.According to Hashino, art director Shigenori Soejima has started turning in sketches for new designs. In the meantime, you can play Persona this week as you never have before: as a fighting game.
Persona teams reunite for new project in 2010
After the completion of Persona 4, the team responsible for the game at Atlus split in two, with one half tasked with creating Persona 3 Portable, while the other half got to work on "an original new game." According to a translation by Andriasang of the P3 Portable creator's blog, that first game is "nearing completion," and the two teams will re-form [insert Voltron reference here] in 2010. Persona 4 producer Katsura Hashino says that the re-unified team will work on "an even bigger title" in the coming year, though no details have been formally announced. We'll just have to giddily think about the impending release of 3D Dot Game Heroes in North America, while we wait for Hashino to dish. [Via Andriasang]
