Atlus has released some new information about their upcoming dungeon-life simulation RPG Persona 5 for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.

The protagonist gets caught up in a mess that he didn’t directly ask for, but felt like he was doing the right thing. After the confrontation he was given a criminal record, but was this all a dream? The guards that approach him are twins and he is told that he must begin rehabilitation and obtain freedom. The only way to do this is to excel as a thief.
