The PlayStation store website has unveiled the official description for Persona 6 <\/a>and there isn\u2019t much revelatory there if you\u2019re familiar with the series. Here\u2019s what the description says:<\/p>\n

\n

Navigate the rhythms of everyday school life and build friendships, pursue romance, and cultivate memories that matter. But beneath the surface of familiar streets and quiet neighborhoods lies something darker: strange rumors, unsettling urban legends, and occult incidents that only you and your closest allies can face.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A student in modern Japan living a normal life, making friends, exploring whatever town they\u2019ve been plopped into, flunking tests, and wooing partners, all while occult happenings simmer beneath the surface? Much like florals in spring; groundbreaking<\/a>. In fairness to Atlus, that has been the modus operandi of every Persona game (Shin Megami Tensei too), and the company has managed to make the premise feel fresh every time. But it still feels kinda boring to hear it yet again. Especially when we know the developers at Atlus have it in them to do something different.<\/p>\n

Two years ago, the company ventured off its beaten path, diverting away from its storied franchises to make a completely new game, Metaphor: ReFantazio. Metaphor managed to both do<\/a> and say interesting things<\/a> beyond what one would expect from either the Persona or Shin Megami Tensei series. It also racked up a handful of Game Awards<\/a> for its trouble and produced an incredible soundtrack that married Buddhist tradition with Atlus-brand musical quality.<\/a>\u00a0It doesn\u2019t feel too much to ask that Atlus take a similar approach with Persona. Then again, if it ain\u2019t broke\u2026<\/p>\n

The sudden and random reveal of the plot makes it likely we\u2019ll hear more about Persona 6 very soon\u2014possibly attached to whatever Xbox reveals at Gamescom in August. Hopefully whatever it is, it\u2019ll be more robust than what Xbox shared<\/a> during Summer Game Fest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The PlayStation store website has unveiled the official description for Persona 6 and there isn\u2019t much revelatory there…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":874985,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[7],"tags":[215766,243123,25021,355651,158,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-874984","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-atlus","tag-metaphor-refantazio","tag-p","tag-persona-6","tag-technology","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116769026416142378","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/874984","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=874984"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/874984\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/874985"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=874984"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=874984"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=874984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
