According to Persona Central (https://personacentral.com/p5s-2-million-copies/), producer Daisuke Kaneda announced the sales milestone in a blog post. "P5S has sold over 2 million copies worldwide," wrote Daisuke, according to the translation. "I couldn't be happier. I would like to thank so many people for their support. Thank you very much." He goes on to bring up the upcoming Persona 5 Tactica, which launches next week.
Stealing the world's hearts
A spinoff to 2017's masterclass RPG Persona 5 (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-persona-5/), Strikers (also known as Scramble in Japan) puts a Dynasty Warriors spin on the gameplay. Trading in turn-based combat for hack-and-slash, the game takes place after the events of Persona 5. This time, the Phantom Thieves take a road trip across Japan to investigate a country-wide epidemic. They are joined by newcomers Sophie, an AI, and Zenkechi, a detective.
Our 8.5/10 review (https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-persona-5-strikers/) from managing editor Chris Carter praises the spin-off, citing its accessible gameplay and overall Persona feeling. Co-developed by Omega Force (Dynasty Warriors), it retains the original charm and adds just a bit more to make it worthwhile. Plus, the Musou gameplay makes for fun large-scale battles and satisfying wins.
The Persona 5 series of titles, including the original, Royal, Dancing in Starlight, and Strikers, have amassed over 8.3 million sales as of last December (https://www.destructoid.com/persona-5-sold-8-3-million-games-royal-one-million-atlus-smt/). As a franchise fan, it's great to see how well-known the fifth game has become. Well, some may be attributed to the protagonist Joker's inclusion (https://www.destructoid.com/persona-5s-joker-is-making-it-into-super-smash-bros-ultimate/) in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Still, with the upcoming release of Persona 5 Tactica (https://www.destructoid.com/hands-on-persona-5-tactica-your-gateway-game-into-tactical-rpgs/), the Phantom Thieves have never been more popular. In China, Persona 5 will receive a mobile gacha game called Persona 5: The Phantom X (https://www.destructoid.com/persona-phantom-of-the-night-phantom-x-mobile-game-free-to-play/) in the future. If you are over the P5 hype, Persona 3 Reload (https://www.destructoid.com/hands-on-persona-3-reload-baby-baby-baby-yeah/), a remake of the original 2006 RPG, is releasing on February 2, 2024.
Persona 5 Strikers is available on PC, PS4, and Switch. The newest spin-off, Persona 5 Tactica, will be released for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S consoles on November 17.
