Four spin-offs have been released alongside Persona 5, including rhythm game Dancing in the Starlight, an expanded version of the base game called Royal, the Dynasty Warriors-style action game Stikers, and the tactical role-playing game Tactica.Though Atlus hasn’t released specific stats for Tactica, it was likely its launch in November that pushed the series beyond the 10 million mark. This one earned an 8/10 in IGN’s review. “Persona 5 Tactica is a big bag of bite-sized Phantom Thieves adventures that keeps the spirit of the series alive and shows that it can work great with a grid-based battle system,” we said.Looking to continue the momentum, Atlus is releasing a remake of the third game called Persona 3: Reload on February 2, 2024. As a from the ground up remake, Persona 3 Reload features a brand new voice cast, updated graphics, and more.The game was finally announced at the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase following a string of rumours and one final leak ahead of the event. It will specifically recreate Persona 3, not Persona 3 FES or Persona 3 Portable, meaning there won’t be a female protagonist or any of the other additional content those versions brought.Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelance reporter.
