Introducing a new red-headed character, she shares her dislike for the Phantom Thieves and prefers to “think the Phantom Thieves’ methods will make the world a better place or help anyone. In the end, I feel like you can only solve that yourself,” according to Gematsu’s translation. As of right now, it’s still unsure if this will is expected to be a spin-off the original title or if it’s an expansion.

Previously, it was rumored that the then-titled project Persona 5 R could potentially be an updated iteration of Persona 5 which will offer all content that released for the game following the course prior to launch. But what stood out for this rumor particularly was that the title could potentially be coming to Nintendo Switch.
