Atlus has announced that they will be holding two upcoming live streams for Persona 5 for the game’s release on September 15th.

The first is a countdown for the “5555 seconds” before launch, and a two-day long live stream from the Tokyo Game Show 2016 showfloor.

Persona 5 Launch Countdown! Final 5555 Seconds Niconico Special

During the previous Tokyo National Museum heist, the Phantom Thieves left a notice that they would appear again at the Tokyo Game Show 2016 on September 15. High school detective Goro Akechi has appeared once again to follow up this case.

The launch countdown will consist of the final 5,555 seconds (about 1 hours and 32 minutes) before the Japanese launch of Persona 5 on September 15, 2016. This will be live streamed on Niconico.
