As for when the crossover will happen, many speculate it will occur sometime in February to line up with therelease ofPersona 5 Strikersin the West. The major link to theDynasty Warriors-style sequel and not the original,Persona 5,is the character Sofia, who is one of the new characters introduced inStrikers.This means fans will have to wait just a couple more months before the Phantom Thieves arrive in-game. Until then, they can start taking guesses at the weapons and attributes of each character.
BothPersona 5andPersona 5 Royalare PlayStation exclusives, but the upcoming sequel may change that.Persona 5 Strikerswon’t only be coming to the PlayStation and Switch but also PC – marking a deviation from its initial release in Japan. Its availability on Steam leads many to believe this indicatesPersona 5may be ported to PCas well. After all,Persona 4made it to the platform, and it’s often been questioned why the sequel did not.
In fact, the series' popularity on PC definitely makes a good case for this to happen.Persona 4 Golden, which was relegated to the PlayStation Vita for eight years, was finally released on Steam in June of 2020. This proved to be a huge success andPersona 4 Goldenhit its first big milestoneearly on. While it makes business sense to releasePersona 5in the same way as its predecessor, there hasn’t been an official announcement on the matter yet.
The upcoming crossover inDragalia Lostmay bring back players who dropped the game at some point after its 2018 release, but it is worth picking up again. From revamps to combat, rewards, and even its aesthetics, it’s a very different game. It recently changed its graphics to a more cel-shaded appearance, which tends to fit the anime look better. It continues to be a fun game that’s very generous to its players.
