If you weren’t aware, a stage adaptation of Persona 5 saw the light back in 2019 adapting the RPG’s plot to theaters which ran in two Japanese cities, Osaka and Tokyo for three incredible years.
Sadly, good things have to end, and developer Atlus announced that the Persona 5 stage play is receiving its fourth and final part in late October with six performances scheduled for four consecutive days in Japan.
The news were posted on their official website and they detail how this play will depict the climactic arcs of Persona 5. To begin with, even though the original 2016 RPG title serves as the main inspiration for this play; it will not include characters who debuted in the enhanced Persona 5 Royal and the direct sequel Persona 5 Strikers.
