Tonight's Persona event in Japan culminated with the announcement fans of the series have been waiting a very long time for: Persona 5 is real, it's coming exclusively to PlayStation 3, and it will be out in Japan by the end of 2014.
Persona 5 will (naturally) be the fifth game in the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series, which began way back in 1996 on the original PlayStation. The last game in the core franchise to be released was Persona 4, which came to the PlayStation 2 in 2008, and to the PS Vita in 2012 in the form of Persona 4 Golden.
