According to listings on the Persona Channel, Persona 5 will launch on July 8, 2016 across PlayStation 4 and PC. A quick Google translate of the Japanese text revealed the news ahead of the schedule May 5 countdown event.

While this could be Persona 5's actual release date, there's no mention of a PS3 version. Atlus previously confirmed the game was coming to both PS4 and PS3 in Japan, and the publisher made no original mention of a PC flavor. Be sure to take this news with a pinch of salt, but it could very well be accurate. The prospect of a PC version of Persona 5 has many gamers excited, and it'll be interesting to see if and how Atlus responds.
