What we know so far

Automatic note by LuaCat Games, built from what we know about the coverage (who reported it, how many sites, the story’s history) — not a translation or copy of the source.

Nobody besides Polygon has reported this yet — we’re keeping an eye out for confirmation. Persona was left on the shelf and came back on top — every new announcement carries that weight. The previous Persona trailer came out 3 days before this story.

Bottom line: Can’t call it yet — wait for more outlets to confirm before counting on it.
