There's a new trailer out today for Persona 5, and it offers a first look at what appears to be some of the game's main cast, menus, dungeons and more.
The trailer, which you can watch above, follows the game's previously revealed main character as he strolls through a city, rides the train, naps in class and more. New to the scene are two blonde characters, a girl and a boy, and a cat-like mascot that all appear to be part of the new crew. We also get our first look at some of the game's dungeons, and what appears to be elements of stealth and platforming gameplay — a first for the series.
On developer Atlus' official website, producer and director Katsura Hashino shared a few words about the game, which Siliconera translated.
"For this game, we're going with a challenge that fuses together a juvenile school setting that is as large as life, together with a picaresque romance," Hashino wrote. "In the previous game, we wrote a story that involved having a justice group chase down a bad guy that could easily be feared by just about anyone.
"This time, it's about a group of high school students that are being 'chased' by unexpected occurrences due to the justice they believe in. We're writing [the story] to convey a thrilling everyday life in the shoes of these characters, that are as large as life, in this juvenile school setting."
Persona 5 is coming to PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 this year in Japan. It's still unclear when the game will launch in North America, though a Western release has been confirmed.
