The wait is over European Persona fans as Deep Silver has announced that Persona 5, for PS3 and PS4, will sneak into Europe on February 14, 2017.

The European release date means that despite the delays in Atlus finding a European publisher, Persona 5 will have a simultaneous western launch (the game will release in North America on February 14th too).

Apart from the release date, Deep Silver also announced the game’s various special editions. According to Deep Silver, “[for PS4] The Persona 5 “Take Your Heart” Premium Edition, available for €89.99 / £79.99, offers the game, SteelBook Collectible Case, Soundtrack CD, 4″ / 10 cm Morgana Plush, 64-page Hardcover Art Book, School Bag and Collectible Outer Box. The SteelBook Launch Edition of Persona 5 offers the game & SteelBook Collectible Case, at the price of €69.99 / £54.99. The PlayStation 3 version will be only available in a standard game case at the price of €49.99 / £39.99.”

For those unaware of what Persona 5 is about, here is a brief synopsis:

Persona 5 is a game about the internal and external conflicts of a group of troubled high school students – the protagonist and a collection of compatriots he meets in the game’s story – who live dual lives as Phantom Thieves. They have the typically ordinary day-to-day of a Tokyo high schooler: attending class, after-school activities and part-time jobs. But they also undertake fantastical adventures by using otherworldly powers to enter the hearts of people. Their power comes from the Persona, the Jungian concept of the “self”. The game’s heroes realise that society forces people to wear masks to protect their inner vulnerabilities, and only by literally ripping off their protective mask and confronting their inner selves do the heroes awaken their inner power, and use it to strive to help those in need. Ultimately, the group of Phantom Thieves seeks to change their day-to-day world to match their perception and see through the masks modern-day society wears.
