Persona 5 Strikers follows the story of the main protagonist Joker and the rest of the crew of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts as they investigate a series of mysterious events involving people across Japan.
It was first released in Japan in February 2020, with a worldwide release scheduled for February 2021 which will also include a PC port for the first time.
The release date doesn’t come as surprise, as the publisher, Atlus had accidentally uploaded an announcement video on YouTube last week. While the video was quickly taken down, many fans and media outlets were able to save a copy of it before it was deleted. Still, a proper confirmation is welcomed by fans of the Persona franchise.
