Persona 5 will (naturally) be the fifth game in the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series, which began way back in 1996 on the original PlayStation. The last game in the core franchise to be released was Persona 4, which came to the PlayStation 2 in 2008, and to the PS Vita in 2012 in the form of Persona 4 Golden.Little else is known about the game right now -- including if and when it will come west -- but for now, you can go to Persona 5's official website
