The release of "Persona 5" in North America and Europe has been delayed again for some reasons. However, a recent update from game developer Atlus revealed that a new date has been set for its western release.
At first, "Persona 5" received the launching date of Feb. 14, 2017, in time for Valentine's Day. However, it was later announced that the date was pushed back.
But fans do not have to be worry because it was only delayed for two months as the new release date of "Persona 5" was confirmed to be on April 4, 2017. This detail was announced by none other than Atlus' PR Manager, John Hardin.
"Persona 5 set the gold standard for Atlus with its launch in Japan, and we wanted to put the utmost care into ensuring it winds up the best when it launches in the west," he said in the blog post.
Hardin added that since this is a very special release, they have some good news to make up for the delay. He said that "Persona 5" will feature a dual audio for PlayStation 4 and PS3. And as if this is not enough, Atlus is including it as DLC and it will be free forever.
