ATLUS, the developer behind the popular Japanese role-playing series 'Persona,' recently announced two new titles set in the 'Persona 5' universe, titled 'Persona 5X' and 'Persona ASA.' According to ATLUS and SEGA, Persona 5X is a reimagining of the game for mobile platforms. The company has yet to confirm whether P5X is a direct port of the game with reimagined features, or a full-fledged new game inspired by the original Persona 5.
The second new title coming, Persona ASA, is a casual party game set in the Persona universe. This game will take elements from each Persona game, and is not restricted exclusively to Persona 5, meaning fans of the entire series will gain more enjoyment out of this game. However, given that it is a casual party game, it will be exciting for newcomers to the series as well.
ATLUS has yet to announce release dates for these two titles.
