Meet (Some of) the Team of Persona 5 Tactica

The just may ignite your heart.

ATLUS recently announced that Persona 5 Tactica will be hitting the Switch on November 17, 2023. And today at Anime Expo 2023, they debuted a character trailer for some of the game’s combatants, including someone we haven’t met previously.

Check out the trailer above, where you’ll learn more about the backgrounds and unique skillset for Joker, Morgana, and the all-new Erina. These are just some of the characters you’ll be using to fight against the tyrannical Legionnaires.

And unlike with Persona 5—which is now also available for the Switch—the turn-based combat in Persona 5 Tactica will be grid-based along the lines of XCOM 2 or Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. An isometric view of the battlefield allows players to strategically position the Phantom Thieves so they can take advantages of their individual strengths and attacks.

As for the story:

After a strange incident, the Phantom Thieves wander into a bizarre realm where its citizens are living under tyrannical oppression. Surrounded by a military group named Legionnaires, they find themselves in grave danger until a mysterious revolutionary named Erina rescues them and offers an enticing deal in exchange for their help. What truth lies behind Erina and the deal she offers to the Phantom Thieves?

Persona 5 Tactica will launch on Nintendo Switch and other platgorms on November 17th. For more information, check out the Nintendo eShop or visit persona.atlus.com.
