‘Persona 5’ New In-Game Modes Coming Very Soon

“Persona 5” has new in-game modes according to reports from Crossmap along with older modes found in previous game titles. So far, there are two new modes to be added in the game which are Cooperation and Sneak to enhance gameplay experience.

2. Sneak mode gives stealth to the player which can be used to avoid new elements in the game when venturing dungeons.

3. All-Out Attack is an old mode available since “Persona 3” that enables combined attack of the party whenever has been knocked down. It is expected to return on the upcoming game title.

Since there are new modes in “Persona 5,” players will have to deal with real-time gameplay including platforming and traps according to details from Megamitensei Wikia page. Playable characters can now use both melee and ranged weapons as seen in the 2015 trailer. Here are the characters appearing on the upcoming game title:

1. The Phantom is the main protagonist who wears a bird mask, wields knives and pistols and acts as a gentlemanly thief.

2. Ryuji Sakamoto who joins the protagonist in his heists. Ryuji wears a skull mask and wields shotguns and bludgeoning weapons.

3. Anne Takamaki is a blonde girl homeroom classmate of the protagonist who also joins his heists. She wears a cat mask and wields whips and machine guns.

4. Morgana is a shapeshifter resembling a cat-like creature who meets the protagonist at the beginning of the game then joins him in his heists, wielding swords and slingshots. She plays an important role in the game because of her connection to the Seven Deadly Sins.

5. Igor and Twin Assistants indicate the return of the Velvet Room.

6. Owner of the military shop - Untouchable - named Iwai Munehisa and owner of the Takemi Medical Clinic, Tae Takemi.
