In Persona 5, the protagonist has a dream where he’s a prisoner of fate and is warned that ruin awaits him. In order to rehabilitate himself, he'll have to become a Phantom Thief, and with a group of friends, steal the hearts of others, and save people from their own twisted desires and fears.

Persona 5 Royal features a wealth of options for the protagonist’s social life, hundreds of demons and angels to recruit, and challenging dungeons filled with creative puzzles and optional battles. The “Royal” edition also includes a brand-new character for the party, and so much more.

Additionally, Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden will be heading to the Nintendo Switch. In the former, the dark story begins with a rumor of a “hidden hour” between one day and the next.

Shadows begin to swarm in the darkness, and after the protagonist of the game gets attacked by one, his Persona awakens. He then goes on to join S.E.E.S. (Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad) to deal with these threats.

Persona 4 Golden begins with a strange rumor. It is said that if someone says the name of their soulmate as they stare at the TV on a dark, rainy night, they will appear. It is a dark murder mystery where the protagonist and his friends try to track down someone who is using a door into another world to murder victim after victim.
