Persona 5 Strikers launches on February 23, with early access via deluxe edition

By Giovanni Colantonio December 8, 2020

Persona 5 Strikers is finally coming to the West on February 23. The Dynasty Warriors-style game will also get a digital deluxe edition that provides early access and extras.

The announcement confirms a leak from over the weekend, which revealed the Persona 5 spinoff’s release date. The official version of the release date reveal trailer is now live on Atlus’ YouTube channel. The game will be available on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The PlayStation 4 version of the game will be playable on PlayStation 5.

The game is getting a digital deluxe edition, which features plenty of extras. Fans will receive access to the game four days early by ordering the special edition, allowing them to start playing the game on February 19. The bundle comes with a digital art book and soundtrack with over 40 songs, plus a pair of behind-the- scenes videos and extra background music from previous Persona games. The deluxe edition includes an All-Out Attack pack, which features armor, Persona points, and skills.

Physical goodies will be available at various retailers. GameStop is offering a Joker pin with purchases, while fans can get a Steelbook case when they buy the Nintendo Switch version of the game at Best Buy.

The upcoming game is a big deal for fans of both Persona and the musou genre, which describes action games created in the vein of Dynasty Warriors. Nintendo recently released Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which renewed fan interest in that style of game. A similar success story for Persona 5 Strikers could help popularize a genre that’s previously been considered niche in the gaming industry.

Soul Hackers 2 splits the difference between Persona 5 and Shin Megami Tensei V

Ringo, Arrow, and other party members stare at something in the distance in Soul Hackers 2.

Atlus has perfected the JRPG and is now reveling in it. Persona 5 is one of the best games of the 2010s, thanks to its endearing cast of characters and impeccably stylish presentation. Meanwhile, Shin Megami Tensei V was no slouch in 2021 as it provided a dark and hardcore demon-driven RPG experience. After demoing the game at Summer Game Fest Play Days, t’s clear that Atlus has found a clear sci-fi middle ground with Soul Hackers 2.
Souls Hackers 2 is a tried-and-true Atlus JRPG with dungeon crawling, casual friend hangouts and conversations, and polished weakness-driven JRPG combat. It hits many of the same notes as Persona 5 and Shin Megami Tensei V, so it won’t change what you think about the genre. Still, if Persona 5 or Shin Megami Tensei V had won you over to this new era of Atlus JRPGs, then Souls Hackers 2 will give you dozens of more hours of JRPG enjoyment.

What’s here for Persona fans?
My demo of Soul Hackers 2 began in the Hangout, where protagonist Ringo and her party can hang out and heal between dungeon-crawling escapades. Then, I proceeded to go into the futuristic sci-fi city, buy some weapons, gear, and healing items from eccentric shopkeepers, and get a drink with my party members named Arrow.
After Ringo and Arrow got to know each other better by discussing what they liked to drink, they gained Soul Levels to make them stronger. Right off the bat, this was all very reminiscent of Persona with the expectation of the futuristic sci-fi setting. The UI in and out of battles takes a cue from Persona 5 by trying to look very stylish, though Soul Hackers 2 leans more into a digitized style than Persona 5’s luscious anime-style menus.
I didn’t spend enough time with this part of the game or the small character moments within it to get a feeling of whether or not its narrative will come together as well as Persona 5. Still, that game got me to fall in love with an eccentric cast of high-school cliche characters, so Soul Hackers 2 has the potential to do the same with a cast that leans into sci-fi stereotypes.

Persona 5 is the first game to leave the PS Plus Collection

PlayStation Plus subscribers have been treated to a few free games every month. That won't change in April, but instead of just getting games, users will also lose access to one title. In what may be the first of many game removals, Sony is removing Persona 5 from the PlayStation Plus Collection.

For anyone who is already playing the game through PlayStation Plus or has previously claimed it, Persona 5's removal from the PlayStation Plus Collection isn't an issue. Users who have already added the game to their library will still be able to access the massive JRPG. Likewise, anyone who adds the game to their library before April 5 will be able to access it as long as they have a PlayStation Plus subscription.
