Persona 5 Strikers: The Phantom Strikers was revealed all the way back in April, yet it’s been pretty much radio silence from Atlus since. Now though, they’ve dropped a new trailer along with a Japanese release date: 20 February 2020. No word on a western release date as yet.

Still, fans in the far east will be able to pick up both a standard and ‘Treasure Box’ edition, the latter of which contains a number of extra goodies.

They include a 48-page art book, a soundtrack featuring 45 tracks, a Blu-ray disc featuring a theme-song making-of video, a Morgana towel, and a Persona Team original design sacoche.

The game itself is a musou one, with gameplay akin to the likes of Fire Emblem Warriors and Hyrule Warriors. Fans can play as Joker and the rest of the Phantom Strikers squad, with the game taking place after the events of Persona 5.

Atlus have announced they’ll be livestreaming the game on their YouTube and Twitter accounts on 4 November. In the meantime you can check out a brand new trailer, featuring combat, a 3D world to explore and 2D platforming sections, below:
