Persona 5 returns you to a world divided between the normal lives of the protagonists: going to school, part-time jobs and activities and the fantastical world of the Phantom Thieves. In this alternate world, you can enter people's hearts, learning about their inner vulnerabilities.

Featuring RPG-driven action, stylized design and an acid jazz score driven by the gifted Shoji Meguro - adventure awaits.
