Persona 5 Tactica, a spin-off title that looks to be a grid-based tactical game similar to Fire Emblem or XCOM, has been announced with a gameplay trailer.
It’ll be available on Xbox consoles, PC, and Game Pass on Nov. 17, 2023. It was announced shortly after Persona 3 Reload, the much-anticipated remake of Persona 3. Unfortunately, both games leaked before the Xbox Games Showcase.
this reveal comes with an Xbox Stamp of Authenticity™️

This new spin-off features many of our favorite Persona 5 characters, but they appear in a more chibi art style. They also seem very confused and think they are in a palace of some sort. They don’t have much time to think, however, as they are quickly attacked.
Unlike Persona 5’s turn-based combat, Persona 5 Tactica’s battles look to be much more strategy focused and will see players running characters around the battlefield, choosing how to attack various enemies and who should strike the blow, and deciding where they should be positioned.
The trailer shows Joker running up to a foe and he is given the option to either use a skill (Persona) or take aim (Gun). He chooses to use a skill and can choose between Eiha or Phantom Judge. Arsene then jumps down and does their thing.
It also appears that Joker and the rest of the Phantom Thieves will be fighting alongside a group called Rebel Corp, and players will also be able to fuse Persona and utilize a Triple Threat all-out attack to bring their team together for an ultimate attack of sorts.
