Atlus: 'Title you've been waiting for may be announced' photo

In a chat about the coming year, Atlus told Famitsu that "That title you’ve been waiting for may be announced," says Siliconera.

What a terrible tease.

Technically Persona 5 has been let out of the bag, so that wouldn't be an announcement. Either they're talking about a more formal announcement of Persona 5, or they're going to drop the next non-Persona Shin Megami Tensei game. Either way, 2012 is going to be a good year for Atlus fans. I'll happily take a SMT5 or Persona 5 on the PS3!

Thank you for recognizing that Strange Journey was SMT4. Everybody who skipped over that title should be ashamed! Some of the most fun I've had on my DS.

SMT5 or Persona 5 is fine with me! Bring it on!!

Though I would be very happy to see Persona 5 get a formal annoucment and release date, Any SMT game would be fucking great.

I haven't played the main SMT games that would be welcomed but I loved Digital Devil Saga and the Persona games. Oh please let it be P5!

My body is ready for a new SMT game,there are only so many times I can play through Strange Journey,Nocturne and DS:Overclocked before I get a hankering for some new Jack Frost shenanigans.

I wonder what gender and age Lucifer is going to be this time around...

This was kinda the whole point of what Catherine was. That was the Persona Team's warm up project on the new engine. Now that they are warmed up, hopefully they'll push out SMT4 or P5

It would great to see SMT5/Persona5, but I think ATLLUS should try to branch out. What about the Devil Summoner series? Can we expect a new Raidou Kuzunoha game or a remake of the original or Soul Hackers? Right now, I'm just waiting on Devil Survivor 2.

It's either Persona 5, a console SMT title in the vein of Nocturne, or a remake of Jack Bros for the 3DS.

Persona can wait? It's been longer since a Persona game came out than a "proper SMT".

What I want is a 3D Dot Game Heroes sequel. Atlus published that, and maybe they can get a sequel off the ground. That game is the best overhead Zelda game made since Link to the Past. I'm not even joking. If you love Zelda, buy 3D Dot Game Heroes.

SMT please. I want a hardcore demon fusing rpg where other than the main character I make my own party. I want a dark world, dark choices, and I want the combat to feel brutal when I hit an enemy.
