![]() It should also satisfy Ed, who has been begging for Persona 5 to head to PC. The Persona 5 Royal bit of this announcement also proves my predictions of disappointment incorrect (but my Persona 3 Portable prediction correct). As a modern game, Persona 5 Royal should hopefully make the transition to PC a little more smoothly. Porting across Persona 4 Golden worked out well considering it sold over a million copies, despite it not being a best-in-class port. While traditionally exclusive to Sony consoles, Atlus owners Sega have recently expressed an intention to make all their games available on PC. ![]() Persona 3 Portable, meanwhile, is an expanded and polished version of Persona 3 which was originally released for the PSP back in 2009. Royal added new characters, locations and events to an already pretty big game. ![]() Persona 5 Royal is the polished and expanded edition of Persona 5, and was previously only released for PlayStation 4 (and playable on PS5 via backwards compatibility). Here's the trailer announcing the news as shown during tonight's Microsoft conference: This is exceptionally good news for fans of stylish, urban fantasy JRPGs about hanging with friends, going to school and getting sucked into supernatural adventures. Persona 4 Golden, which is already available on PC via Steam, is also coming to Game Pass. But it introduced big gameplay changes, including a female protagonist with her own social links and full control of your party in battle.Persona 5 Royal and Persona 3 Portable are coming to PC via Xbox Game Pass, with Persona 5 Royal due to arrive this October. Persona 3 Portable, released in 2011, was scaled back to fit the PSP and removed P3's anime cutscenes, 3D environments and The Answer. The expansion is notoriously hard to beat but brings some additional closure to P3's ending. Persona 3 FES, released just a year after the original version on PS2, brought several gameplay updates but prominently included a new 30-hour epilogue called "The Answer." You play Aigis, a robotic SEES teammate designed as an anti-Shadow weapon. Unlike P4 and P5 though, there's no definitive edition for P3, and each release has different content. ![]() Atlus loves releasing expanded versions of its games, and Persona is no exception. Persona 3 Portable is what's coming to PC, as shown in the initial PC release announcement, but that's caused some confusion for those unfamiliar with the game's earlier releases. So which version of Persona 3 are we getting on PC? Party members will get fatigued over time, including the protagonist, so be careful, as this makes you susceptible to falling ill and will impact studies. P3 uses a standard EXP system but experience isn't shared with the SEES members you don't take into a fight, so it's wise to frequently rotate them. Hitting a shadow's weakness knocks it off balance and if all enemies are down, an all-out attack can be initiated for heavy damage. The protagonist can uniquely equip multiple personas, so a diverse move set is key. There are hundreds of different Shadows within Tartarus, all holding their own damage resistances and disadvantages. Each member has a melee attack but Personas also bring their own skills, allowing elemental spells or support moves. To control your teammates' actions, all you can do is issue tactical orders. Combat is turn-based, but only the protagonist is directly controlled by players. Tartarus can be explored with four SEES members. (Image credit: Atlus) What's the combat like? There's no separate dungeons to explore within P3, just different levels of Tartarus that open up further after each major boss fight. Joining your fellow students as part of the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad, you'll investigate this Dark Hour with SEES and the mysterious tower that appears with it, Tartarus. Moving into a school dormitory, the protagonist soon becomes involved in a Shadow attack during this hour, awakening to his Persona in the process. Within this world exists an unusual phenomenon called the Dark Hour, one that most humans remain unconscious during, outside a select few. It takes place in Iwatodai, seeing our nameless protagonist enrolling at Gekkoukan High School. You can't decline romantic relationships in P3 once some bonds reach a high enough level, so know what you're getting into. Make enough bad decisions or neglect your friendships and bonds can reverse, especially if you start dating multiple people. Our protagonist can form friendships with other characters and get into romantic relationships, creating bonds that become your strength. To do this, each party member utilises the power of Persona, a manifestation of their inner psyche (P3’s summoning method famously has the cast firing a gun-like object called an Evoker at their heads). Events unfold on a day-by-day basis as you attend school and take exams while also defending your world from a mysterious threat known as Shadows.
