Despite Years of Requests, Persona Still Isn't Coming to Switch

ign.com:

Nintendo Switch owners have been asking for Switch ports of the beloved Persona series for years; a request that only intensified after Persona 5 Strikers came to the platform. However, even after PC and Xbox ports of three Persona titles were announced today, the series still isn’t headed to Nintendo's hybrid console.

The fabled Switch port of Persona 5 has been rumored for years, sparking hope among the community. There was even a Best Buy listing for a Persona 5 Switch release back in 2019, but it still hasn't come to fruition. After Persona 5 protagonist Joker arrived as a DLC fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, an Atlus representative even told fans to "never ever give up on hope" and to "keep fighting" for a Switch port, hinting at a possible future release.

And now, there's a new wrinkle in the story. At today’s Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, Atlus announced that Persona 5 Royal, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 3 Portable are coming to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, with no Switch port in sight. Now, fans are torn on if this means a future release on Switch is possible, or if these games have skipped the platform entirely.

The fact that Persona 5, the most requested game to come out for Nintendo Switch, is coming to Xbox first, a platform that has been known to avoid RPGs like the plague, is the funniest thing in the world. https://t.co/jEYRNDjfF2
