It looks like the Phantom Thieves aren't quite ready to retire just yet, as Atlus announces Persona 5 R. Many assume this is a new version of the popular RPG, but with very little to go on, it is purely speculation at this time.

It was discovered that a domain name for the title was registered a short while ago, and has since gone live. Now, a teaser trailer has also been released, but neither do much to shed light on the game. They both do, however, point to more information being released in March 2019. It's also worth noting that the trailer begins with the PlayStation logo, which all but confirms the game will release for the console.

As for what can be gleaned from the video itself, there isn't much. It simply contains some of the same scenes of Tokyo found in Persona 5, with screens showing the Phantom Thieves logo and the phrase "New Projects", which could indicate multiple things to unveil this March.

This wouldn't be the first time the company released followup versions of its Persona titles. Both Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 Golden are good examples. They took the original games, but added new content and enhancements. Following that pattern, Persona 5 R could be doing something similar.

One of those titles was even ported to the PlayStation Vita, which suggests Persona 5 might not remain a console exclusive for long. And now that protagonist Joker is confirmed as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, it is fueling speculation that Persona 5 R might be heading to the Switch.

The inclusion of Joker shows that Atlus and Nintendo have been cultivating a good working relationship, so this scenario seems likely. In fact, Atlus is already working on another project for a Nintendo system. Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth released back in 2014, and it's recently announced sequel, Persona Q2, will be available on the 3DS.

For now, Persona fans will just have to sit tight until more information is announced. Thankfully, they won't be waiting long. In three short months, Atlus seemingly has a lot to reveal to audiences, and, like the Phantom Thieves, it will likely steal our hearts.

Persona 5 is available now for PS4 and PS3.
