At that point the team had already outlined the game's theme, with them planning on challenging more new things than Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 did back when it was released. Unlike the team's previous game, Catherine, Persona 5 uses a new internal engine.

This was after a live stream that counted down to the announcement for 72 hours, with Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth and Persona 4: Dancing All Night being announced during the stream. The teaser revealed that Atlus planned to release the game during the winter of 2014. On February 25th, 2014 it was confirmed that the game would be released in the United States as well in 2015.
