The Persona x Dynasty Warriors crossover, which has remained a Japanese exclusive so far, looks to be finally coming to the west.
Leaks have indicated its release date as well as which platforms it will be launching on.
What Is Persona?
Persona is a RPG series that has been around since 1996.
The series is developed by Atlus, a subsidiary of Sega.
It is a very popular series, although surprisingly unknown.
The last entry in the series, Persona 5 Royal scored a 95/100 on Metacritic.
Persona 5 Strikers
Persona 5 Strikers is a crossover game between Persona and Dynasty Warriors.
The game features elements from both franchises, such as real-time combat from Dynasty Warriors, as well as turn-based battling from Persona, which sounds like a clash of styles but it works.
It launched in Japan in February 2020 and so far there has been no mention of a release date in the west.
Now, according to a leaked trailer it looks like it will be releasing in the west very soon.
