Persona 5 might have been the big installment for this franchise, which captivated more fans. It’s become one of the more praised RPGs, and the developers have continued to turn out new installments based on this game. For instance, we have Persona 5: The Royal, an enhanced edition of the game, Persona 5: Strikers, which acted as an action RPG set shortly after the events of the main game, then there’s the more recently released Persona 5: Tactica, a tactical RPG set within the events of Persona 5.

But much like how The Gamer noted, this prototype was only months before the actual initial launch of Persona 5 into the Japanese market. 

However, it’s also noted that there is apparently an even earlier prototype version of Persona 5 that is circulating online. This earlier version of the game dates back to December of 2015.

As a result, more content that was scrapped or changed will be shared online between fans as they continue to sift through the files. 

Unfortunately, for fans who just want that next mainline installment, we’re still left waiting. We’re set to receive Persona 3 Reload next month. This is the remake of the 2006 release, Persona 3. But after that, we might finally get word as to what the next major
