With the long-awaited Persona 5 Royal<\/a> release on Switch coming out in a matter of days now (nine at the time of writing this), the press tour is beginning to ramp up. And, in an upcoming interview with Famitsu (translated by Persona Central<\/a> via leaker ryokutya2089<\/a>), Atlus producer Shinji Yamamoto has revealed that Sega is in charge of development for this remaster.<\/p>\n

The details of the interview have leaked ahead of the publication of issue #1767 of Weekly Famitsu, and in the snippet, Yamamoto highlights that a few things have been optimised, such as “the number of the pieces of debris that blow away for each model. Elements like effects, number of projectiles, etc.”, for the remaster.<\/p>\n

But the most interesting point Yamamoto makes is about Sega, who won a bid to acquire Atlus in 2013. The company has also been publishing all of Atlus’ games since 2016. But while Persona 4 Golden<\/a> (which is coming to the Switch eShop alongside Persona 3 Portable<\/a> in January 2023) on Steam was handled internally, and Soul Hackers 2<\/a> was co-created with Artdink (who also worked on Triangle Strategy<\/a>), Sega is going hands-on with this project:<\/p>\n

\n

“Sega was in charge of the development of the remaster (not just matching the resolution to the console). It was a very meaningful project. Multi-platform development isn\u2019t easy. This was my first porting project, and I didn\u2019t realize how hard it would be.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sega is handling Persona 5 Royal on all consoles \u2014 that’s Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows via Steam \u2014 and the game launches on 21st October.<\/p>\n
