[QUOTE="Admin, post: 56132, member: 1"] Nintendo Switch owners have been asking for Switch ports of the beloved Persona series for years; a request that only intensified after [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/persona-5-strikers'][U]Persona 5 Strikers[/U][/URL] came to the platform. However, even after PC and Xbox ports of three Persona titles [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/persona-3-4-5-xbox-game-pass']were announced today[/URL], the series still isn’t headed to Nintendo's hybrid console. The fabled Switch port of Persona 5 has been rumored for years, sparking hope among the community. There was even a [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/04/03/persona-5-metroid-prime-trilogy-and-a-link-to-the-past-for-switch-listed-by-best-buy']Best Buy listing[/URL] for a Persona 5 Switch release back in 2019, but it still hasn't come to fruition. After Persona 5 protagonist Joker [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/2018/12/07/persona-5s-joker-is-coming-to-super-smash-bros-ultimate-as-dlc']arrived as a DLC fighter in Super Smash Bros.

And now, there's a new wrinkle in the story. At today’s [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/xbox-and-bethesda-games-showcase-2022-everything-announced']Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase[/URL], Atlus announced that [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/persona-5-royal']Persona 5 Royal[/URL], [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/persona-4-golden']Persona 4 Golden[/URL], and [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/shin-megami-tensei-persona-3']Persona 3 Portable[/URL] are coming to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, with no Switch port in sight. Now, fans are torn on if this means a future release on Switch is possible, or if these games have skipped the platform entirely. Some fans even began campaigning for Atlus to release ports, taking to the hashtag #BreakFreePersona to express their dismay. And, some hopeful fans noted that the series’ arrival to Xbox might signal that a Switch port is in the near future, as the series is finally breaking away from (mostly) PlayStation exclusivity. The upcoming Persona ports will roll out over the next year, starting with the Persona 5 Royal port on October 21, 2022. We gave the title [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/persona-5-royal-review']a 10 in our review,[/URL] praising its thorough expansions to the original Persona 5.
