Atlus and Koei Tecmo published some new screenshots forPersona 5 Scramble on the game’sofficial site. Profiles for Joker and new character Sophia were also published. The one for Joker mentions how he’s in his third year of high school, seeingPersona 5 Scrambleis a sequel to the originalPersona 5. But the profiles overall don’t reveal anything new.Another interesting thing is the interview withPersona 5 Scramble’s staff that was included in Famitsu Magazine November 21 issue (released on November 7). The staff most notably mentionedPersona 5 Scrambleuses an engine made by Koei Tecmo, and it’s different than the one used inPersona 5 Royal. We also learned the project was born from a proposal coming from Koei Tecmo’s side. As for the game’s story, Koei Tecmo’s writers wrote the initial draft, but then the Persona Team supervised and finished it. The writers from both companies were really into it, so we should look forward to the narration aspect of the game.The staff also mentioned in the interview thatPersona 5 Scrambleis balanced so that players will need to fully use the battle system to triumph. The game will also have various difficulty levels to adapt to all players. Lastly, we learned thatPersona 5 Scramble’s BGMs will include both new tracks and rearrangements. They will be handled by three people. We’ve got Atsushi Kitajoh, who works onShin Megami TenseiandPersona. Gota Masuoka fromSangoku Musou/Dynasty Warriors, and MASA, who also works onMusougames.Atlus will be regularly pushing out new trailers forPersona 5 Scramble, either introducing a playable character or a location in the game.
