'Persona 5' Update: Release Pushed Forward to Summer 2016; Will Later Release Give Time for DLC Production?

The most awaited "Persona 5" release date will be pushed to a later date. A DLC is rumored to come also. 

The "Persona 5" final release date could be sad news for the fans as it has been moved to the Summer of 2016. Chief Katsura Hashino, the game director, apologized and explained to fans the main reason behind the postponement of the scheduled release date.

"Persona 5," the upcoming role-playing video game, which is supposed to be released this year, is once again moved to next year. During the Tokyo Game Show 2015, Atlus also announced that "Persona 5's" release date was moved to Summer of 2016.

"Persona 5" was first intended for a 2014 Winter release date. From that point, it has been five years since its improvement stage; therefore it is no surprise that fans are very enthusiastic to try out the game.

Hashino, the game director, shared with Gematsu, "But I hope you'll give us just a little more time."

The "Persona 5" game director also went on to express that once "Persona 5" is out, "It'll all be worth it in the end."

Hashino explained and apologized to all fans with regards to the recent adjustments made for the game's release date. Though "Persona 5" was announced to come in the Summer of 2016, there is no specific date yet. Furthermore, Hashino claimed how people started loving RPG like they did before, and all thanks to their amazing video games like "Persona."

"Persona 5" fans, on the other hand, were discussing on the Reddit page about "Persona 5" and the possibility of having a DLC for the game upon its official release.

"Persona 5's" arrival next year is believed to bring forth some kind of cosmetic downloadable contents. However, Katsura Hashino did not reveal any details concerning the "Persona 5" DLC. It remains an interesting and intriguing topic for most fans to discuss.
