Persona 5 is not just coming to the PlayStation 3.
The role-playing game will also be available for PS4, notes Joystiq. So far it has only been announced for both consoles in Japan, but it seems likely that it will also be available for both in North America. The game will be released sometime in 2015 in the United States.
The new set of characters have been revealed through images and a trailer. The video shows a young man with glasses sitting on a train watching people. Fans of the game have taken to calling the main character Harry Potter.
The bespectacled character has brown hair like the Hogwarts wizard. Art that perfectly marries "Harry Potter" and Persona 5 have made its way to social media. Some place the character in the world of Harry Potter, such as playing Quidditch or the character drives a cart that says Junes, which is call back to Persona 4, and he is making his way to Hogwarts via Platform 9 ¾.
