==Development==

The game was first mentioned to be under development in August 2011 in an interview between [[Katsura Hashino]], the producer of the ''Persona'' series and ''Famitsu'', the Japanese gaming magazine with the most circulation, even though he only called it "the next numbered title". Hashino confirmed that the basic preparations for the development were finished and announced the return of [[Shigenori Soejima]] and [[Shoji Meguro]] as character designer and music composer, respectively. Both Soejima and Meguro previously worked together with Hashino on ''[[Persona 3]]'', ''[[Persona 4]]'' and ''[[Catherine]]''.

A ''Persona 5'' website domain was registered on June 25th, 2013 by Index Corporation, the former parent company of Atlus.<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/07/07/persona-5-domain-name-registered Persona 5 domain name registered], IGN</ref>

Unlike ''Catherine'', which used the ''Gamebryo'' engine, ''Persona 5'' will be made with a new engine.<ref>[http://www.destructoid.com/persona-5-uses-atlus-internal-engine-210273.phtml Persona 5 uses Atlus' internal engine], Destructoid</ref> Before it was decided that the game would be released exclusively for the PlayStation 3, it was also discussed internally to move the series to mobile gaming devices like the PlayStation Vita or smartphones. Eventually, Hashino and his team chose the PlayStation 3 as they felt that fans would love to see another game for home consoles. Furthermore, ''Persona 5'' will use life-sized character models in a change from previous ''Persona'' games to increase the sense of reality that the player is supposed to percieve.

A special program was streamed by Atlus on November 24, 2013. After the announcements for ''[[Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth]]'' and ''[[Persona 4: Dancing All Night]]'', a countdown appeared starting from 55:555 followed by a teaser trailed in red, showing 5 chairs with a ball and chain bound to each one. The text shown was 'You are slave. Want emancipation?'. Afterwards, the release date was shown along with the platform it will get released on, Winter 2014 on [[PlayStation 3]].
+
The story of ''Persona 5'' will discuss the hardships of modern-day society and feature characters that are restrained by the rules set by this society. As a result, players will be confronted with trials and chains that they will have to overcome. Much like the previous installments of the series the game is set in a high school - however, the mood and tone will be different. Despite this, Atlus wants the players to feel at home with this new game. ''Persona 5'' is meant to be an emotional experience that stirs up its audience and finally lets them go with a strong message of catharsis after everything is said and done.<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2013/11/26/persona-5s-characters-will-restrained-modern-society/ Persona 5′s Characters Will Be Restrained By Modern Society], Siliconera</ref>
