In terms of price, the "Persona 5" standard edition is worth $49.99 on PlayStation 3 and $59.99 on PlayStation 4. PlayStation 4 customers get a limited SteelBook launch edition for free if they opt to pre-order.

Additionally, Atlus offers a Take Your Heart collector's edition with the game placed in a SteelBook case, plus a "4-inch plush Morgana toy, a 64-page hardcover art book, a full-size Shujin Academy replica school bag, a soundtrack CD, and a collectible box" exclusively for PS4 users.

Persona 5 will be available for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 on Sept. 15 in Japan. Next year, the game is set to arrive in North America for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 on Feb. 14. Atlus PR manager John Hardin explained why there is a delay in the game's US release, saying: "The biggest factor in the 2017 release date is attention to detail. We're making sure every bit is in place. Persona has exponentially grown as a franchise, and considering this is our first numbered sequel since 2008, Atlus is taking its time to ensure this is the best possible experience."
