Synopsis
The game takes place six months after the events of Persona 5. The main characters are on summer vacation but end up getting involved in a new incident that spans all of Japan. The main characters from the original game are playable.
Voice actress Misaki Kuno portrays Sophia, codenamed Sophie. Sophia is a mysterious girl who has lost her memories. She wields a yo-yo and a blaster, and controls Pithos, which is like a Persona.
Persona 5 originally launched in 2016 for PS3 and PS4; however, the game was only released outside of Japan in 2017. The animated sequences were produced by Production IG.
Finally, a 26-episode anime based on the game premiered in April 2018, produced by CloverWorks.
