I wonder if this is relatedto the surveyAtlus West released back in March, which gauged how fans would feel concerning a Western release forPersona 5 Scramble. That would certainly be great news for those wantingScrambleto make its way to the West. Hopefully whatever announcements made then will be juicy.
Sega hasn’t provided us with a clear sales figure forPersona 5 Royalas of yet. However, we do know a few thingsfrom previous reports. In its first month in Japan, the game had shipped over 400K copies.Royalalso topped the sales charts in both Taiwan and South Korea. Plus, it was in the top ten for both the UK and US charts during its opening weeks.
Back in February of this year I was able to sit down with the head of Atlus West PR, Arianne Advincula, fora quick interview. We discussed the challenges faced working with a game that has already beenreleased in Japan, changes in the English localization between the originalP5andRoyal, howstreaming policieshave been being handled since its launch in the West, the EFIGS localization, and more.
Be sure to check out our reviews for bothPersona 5:Dancing in StarlightandPersona 3:Dancing in Moonlight, which both reviewers enjoyed. you may also readour reviewofPersona 5 Royalwritten by yours truly, in which I state that “Atlus has packedPersona 5 Royalfull of new content that is sure to delight newcomers and even veterans of the original with a far more robust experience.” There’s also ourpost review discussionfeaturing myself and Video Manager Mario Rivera as we break down some of our favorite parts of the game.
