Amid the mysterious echoes of whispered secrets, we were recently treated to an extended announcement that reveals more than what simply meets the eye.
Diving straight into the heart of the matter, the latest Persona 5 Tactica trailer, spanning over thirteen minutes on Atlus's Youtube channel, caught the eye of many a fan. The intriguing part wasn't just the new turn-based strategy format that is reminiscent of XCOM, or even the fact that this game seemingly wraps the effortless style of Persona 5 around its mechanics like a well-tailored coat. No, it's the latest additions to Persona 5 Tactica by way of downloadable content.
Enter Goro Akechi and Kasumi Yoshizawa, two characters already established as fan-favourites. Both of them shall grace the tactical grid as Day One DLC characters. But wait! Don't dash off to gather your coins yet. There's a twist to this tale. These beloved characters are a part of the "Repaint Your Heart" episode, one that revolves around the enigmatic artist, Guernica. This DLC introduces a mysterious artist who blankets the town with art overnight, some even showcasing Arsene - an entity known only to Persona users.
Keep in mind that Persona 5 Tactica isn't just a mere spin-off. It's set during the events of Persona 5 Royal, with the game's trailer crafting a visual narrative where chibi heroes combat French-inspired demons and confront an ominously powerful foe. Our heroes, despite their small stature, remain just as mighty in their quest to purify corruption across the various Kingdoms - possibly alluding to the alternate Metaverse dimension. Old fans and new are eagerly awaiting this title's drop on multiple platforms come November 17, with a special nod to Xbox Game Pass subscribers who can get in on the action as well.
