The Phantom Strikers – review

Studio Atlus continues marathon of news related to the future Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers. And today she showed the first two hours of the game. The live broadcast was conducted by the popular Japanese streamer Gatchman.

Of course, everything happens in Japanese, localization news will begin to appear only after the “home” release. However familiar with Persona 5 can understand what is happening on the screen. Six months after the ending of the story of Ghost Thieves, the Joker and Morgana return to Tokyo to spend their holidays with friends. And they are all waiting for him at Leblanc Cafe.

Adventure begins when the hero installs the Emma application on his phone: we enter his name in it. This is a voice assistant that suddenly activates while walking in Sibuya and shows the first prison – a parallel world inhabited by shadows and demons.

As is the case with the special phone application in Persona 5, the characters will open new ghostly prisons, choosing keywords. And in each new version of the palace, they will meet with a special boss. The dark version of Alice is the first of them.

Tomorrow, January 12, Atlus will release the opening video for Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers. A Japanese release of the game will take place on February 20 on the PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
