It is not long now until this year’s Tokyo Game Show kicks off in Chiba, Japan, as the event begins on 15th September and runs until 18th September. One of the many companies which have announced their lineup for the event is SEGA ATLUS with a clear focus on their mascot Sonic the Hedgehog and Atlus’s beloved RPG series, Persona. There will presumably be a stream on 16th September when the SEGA game news variety show airs at the event, though that has yet to be confirmed. Hopefully there will be a surprise or two at this years Tokyo Game Show.
Lineup
- SEGA games
- Sonic Frontiers (PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC)
- Virtua Fighter 5: Ultimate Showdown (PS4)
- ATLUS Titles
- Persona 5 Royal (PS5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Switch, PC [Steam, Windows])
- Persona 4 Golden (PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Switch, PC [Windows])
- Persona 3 Portable (PS4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Switch, PC [Steam, Windows])
I’m really, really hoping for something Persona related here that isn’t just the 3, 4 and 5 ports.
All of the 25th anniversary stuff they’ve done has been pretty disappointing so far, it’s literally just been ports of older games and Japan exclusive events. Combined that with the fact that the last brand-new Persona game came out well over two years ago now (and that there’s been no announcements of any new upcoming games since), it’s honestly been a pretty crummy time to be a western Persona fan.
Really hoping TGS remedies this with SOME kind of announcement, be it Persona 6 or even a spin-off.
Just please have something other than mere ports.
Waiting on gameplay & pre order bonuses for Sonic Frontiers from gamestop to get confirmation love sonic games
SEGA!!!
