New details for Persona 5 Tactica have been revealed

Atlus have released new details on Persona 5 Tactica, specifically around the second world that the Phantom Thieves and their new bestie Erina find themselves in, one themed to mid-1800s Japan.

Before they can even catch their breath, the Phantom Thieves see a woman in crisis. While they successfully save her, they become wanted criminals in the process. According to Yuki, the woman they saved, the Kingdom’s ruler, Yoshiki, is seen as a moral and loving leader, but she claims this is only a façade.

In truth, Kingdom citizens are subject to constant surveillance, excused by a need to watch over the citizens. Anyone who shows a whiff of dissent towards Yoshiki is captured immediately and taken away to perform labour under force.

While the Thieves evade the cameras at first, even dressing up in period clothing, doesn’t stop the ruler from tracking them down.

Much like other games in the series, the gameplay in Persona 5 Tactica will feature a squad of characters that you can swap to at any time. You can opt to just move them around individually, but if you ensure that all three are close enough, you can unleash the powerful Triple Threat attack.

The game has also confirmed to offer up a number of difficulty settings, so players of all skill levels can take part in the fun.

Persona 5 Tactica will arrive onto Switch, PC, Xbox and PlayStation on November 17th, so expect to hear more about the game as we get closer to launch. For now, check out much of the new art for characters, like Yusuke, Makoto, Toshiro, Sakura and more.
