Persona 3, 4, and 5 are all finally heading to Nintendo Switch. Persona, the role-playing series from Atlus, has had minor links with Nintendo in the past, with main character Joker appearing in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character.
Until today's Nintendo Direct Mini announcement though, little was known about whether or not ports of the games would be heading to Nintendo Switch.
Here's all we know about when the Persona series will be making its way onto the Nintendo Switch.
Persona 3 Portable, 4 Golden and 5 Royale Nintendo Switch Release Dates
Per the Nintendo Direct Mini livestream earlier today, Persona 5 Royal, the version of Persona 5 released with bonus content a couple years after the initial release, will be hitting the Nintendo store October 21, in just under four months. Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden, the PSP port and expanded content versions of the two games respectively, will be arriving on the Switch starting sometime next year, in 2023.
For fans of the Persona games on other consoles, don't worry. Recent announcements also confirmed that the Persona games would be coming to both modern and next gen consoles as well. Persona 3 in particular has not been available on a console newer than the PlayStation Portable for many years.
Hopefully, fans of the Persona series will finally get to enjoy these games on modern software with updated graphics. The last main entry into the Persona series was Persona 5, released in 2016.
