Ultimate<\/a><\/strong> as a DLC character has naturally sparked predictable chatter that Persona 5 itself is Switch-bound, but we&#8217;ve actually heard a rumour that appears to have some substance to it.<\/p>\n<p>The source is <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MysticDistance\">MysticDistance<\/a>, a translator and secondary writer for <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/personacentral.com\/\">Persona Central<\/a> and several other fan sites. MysticDistance has stated that Persona 5 will hit Switch next year, and the announcement will take place the day Joker becomes available in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than being a straight port, the Switch version will have a new title and will come with a raft of adjustments and additions, as well as new story elements. While we&#8217;re not sure how reliable MysticDistance&#8217;s source is, it is claimed that a Switch port has been under consideration since last year, and that the final title will be based on one of the domains recently registered by Atlus.<\/p>\n<p>This would suggest something related to P5U.jp or P5R.jp, two domains snapped up by the company that have yet to be assigned to anything. <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/nintendosoup.com\/rumor-persona-5-switch-official-title-is-persona-5-reloaded\/\">Nintendo Soup<\/a> is reporting that <strong>Persona 5 Reloaded<\/strong> is the official title.<\/p>\n<p>Persona 5 would certainly be a game worth getting excited about; our friends over at <a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/reviews\/ps4\/persona_5\">Push Square<\/a> gave it 10\/10, saying:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Persona 5 sets the benchmark for modern Japanese RPGs: it oozes style, charisma, and polish quite unlike anything we&#8217;ve played. With this fifth entry, the series&#8217; trademark formula of dungeon delving and socialising has been perfected. Addictive, engaging gameplay, incredibly endearing characters, and a consistently rewarding narrative loop combine to create a spectacularly cohesive whole \u2013 whether or not you&#8217;re already a fan of Persona. A masterpiece from top to bottom.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>What do you make of this particular rumour? With Joker coming to Smash it would make sense, but then again, we&#8217;ve got Simon and Richter Belmont in Smash and Konami hasn&#8217;t announced a <strong>Castlevania<\/strong> title for Switch.
