At almost two minutes long, the Western trailer for “Persona 5,” which was dubbed in English, gives audiences an overview of of the story. The protagonist must start over again as a transfer student at a high school in Tokyo. Soon, he learns that he is able to enter people’s hearts and force them to confront their truest selves. With his friends, the protagonist forms the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, which aims to unveil the wrongs of society. However, their activities are soon evident and noticed by undesirables who try to stop the group.

For those that prefer the original Japanese vocals of the game, the game will be available with subtitles in English. Players will need to download a separate DLC for this, but Atlus has previously confirmed that it will be free of charge.
