'Persona 5' release date news 2016: English subtitles possible for Japanese version; Europe release to be announced soon?

The Japanese version of "Persona 5" is already set to be released in Japan in September. The highly anticipated game has been all over the internet as it has become a subject of several rumors and speculations. With the Japanese version of the game coming out in a few months, many fans are wondering if game developer Atlus will include English subtitles in it.

Apparently, PlayStation console players from the U.S. would like to be able to play the upcoming role-playing video game once it comes out in Japan. The English version is already set to come out early next year; however, fans could no longer wait to experience the fifth installment of the "Persona" series.

Nonetheless, PlayStation 4 players might just be able to play the game as the console already has an automatic English translation in its system. However, PlayStation 3 players will have to wait for the English version to arrive should Atlus decides not to include English subtitles in the Japanese version.

Meanwhile, many fans were surprised when Atlus announced that they will be partnering with Deep Silver, a game publisher in Europe, to help them with the European release of "Persona 5." It was an unexpected decision that caught fans by surprise.

In a statement by Naoto Hiraoka, Atlus CEO, the company has expressed confidence in Depp Silver to do a very good job in their plan to release the game in the region.

"In entering this partnership with Deep Silver, I am truly delighted we will be able to release our titles in the European regions. Not only does the deal span multiple titles, but Deep Silver has a strong presence in European and PAL retailers," Hiraoka said. "They have a strong passion for being able to deliver physical games to our fans in those territories, which we hold in high regard."
