(Rumor) Persona 5 for PS3 in the works?
By Heath | July 20, 2009 at 6:39 am
*UPDATE 7/22* The plot thickens…or rather, thins:
The Pachinko parlor in question has removed the Persona 5 PS3 bit from its announcement. It didn’t say as to why, so it’s unknown if Atlus requested this, or if they just realized they made a mistake.
