A 2016 Japanese role-playing game by Atlus following a group of Tokyo high schoolers who change adult criminals' hearts as the supernatural Phantom Thieves.
Origin
Directed by Katsura Hashino, Persona 5 alternates between high-school life simulation and dungeon-crawling in the Metaverse — a cognitive world manifesting adult corruption. The protagonist juggles social bonds, part-time jobs, and supernatural heists.
Gameplay
Turn-based combat uses elemental weaknesses and personas — collectible demons summoned by the heroes. A bold red-and-black UI and Shoji Meguro’s jazz-fusion soundtrack became signature elements.
Legacy
Persona 5 became a breakout international hit, eclipsing prior entries in sales. Its Royal expansion, spinoffs, and a dedicated anime adaptation built one of Atlus’s most lucrative franchises.
