Atlus made a surprise announcement during the Xbox & Bethesda event on Sunday. Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and  Persona 5 Royal are coming to Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Windows PC. These three titles have lived on Sony’s consoles and on Steam for quite some time, one would think the Nintendo Switch would be the first console to announce these titles. Xbox players should be excited to have these titles come as the Xbox has been notorious for years to bring Japanese role-playing games (JRPGs) in their library. Here’s a quick synopsis of each game coming soon.

Persona 3 Portable

If I say there’s an hour “hidden” between one day and the next… would you believe me? This unknown time is the “Dark Hour.” Unfamiliar stillness swallows the city, people turn into eerie coffins, and otherworldly monsters called Shadows swarm. One night, the protagonist is attacked by these Shadows. When all hope seems lost, the power of the heart, their Persona, is awakened.

Persona 4 Golden

They say your soulmate will appear if you stare into a television set on a rainy night… This strange rumor slowly spreads through the rural town of Inaba, the protagonist’s new home, just as a chain of mysterious murders begin. As the protagonist and his teammates chase after the truth, they find themselves opening the door to another world.

Persona 5 Royal

Forced to transfer to a high school in Tokyo, the protagonist has a strange dream. “You truly are a prisoner of fate. In the near future, ruin awaits you.” With the goal of “rehabilitation” looming overhead, he must save others from distorted desires by donning the mask of a Phantom Thief.

Though don’t be surprise if Nintendo announces the same games in their next Nintendo Direct, which is expected to happen this month. For now, Xbox fans rejoice. These three Persona games announced for the Xbox and Windows PC, with Persona 5 Royal releasing on October 21, 2022.
