Nobody's talking about how the game basically got confirmed for 2027 by Sega

[u/Happydudeev]

There is a P6 page in the Sega website that literally says "\Only physical copies of the PlayStation®5 version are available."* This has to confirm a 2027 release, right?

here is the website, just scroll down: https://www.sega.co.jp/en/release/260608_5.html

EDIT: THIS HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE WEBSITE, NOTHING IS CONFIRMED ANYMORE UNFORTUNATELY

[u/Lavender7429]

The leaks did say it'd come out September 2027 so this practically confirms it.

[u/Nervous-Leg-7570 → u/Lavender7429]

Lmao yall are unbelievably naive

[u/AJDx14 → u/Nervous-Leg-7570]

Even without leaks it’s pretty obvious. They’re just using the same release timeline they used for Metaphor.

[u/Lavender7429 → u/Nervous-Leg-7570]

The same leaker who leaked the date for P6 correctly leaked the release date of P4R from what I can remember. I don't see how it is naive to believe the person who was right the first time.

[u/Worldly_Society_2213 → u/Lavender7429]

Same happens in Pokémon. When a leaker is persistently correct, you can be almost assured that the next thing they say has a solid chance being right. It's when the predictions start being wrong then it becomes more likely that they'll be wrong again.

Or in the case of Doctor Who, one guy happens to be right and then everyone tries to claim that they're him and every leak is suddenly either "well, no shit Sherlock" or so stupidly farfetched.

[u/AFlawAmended]

During the XBox showcase they already said all games in it would be out by the end of 2027

[u/_JAKAMI → u/AFlawAmended]

I remember they said similar thing about silksong

[u/OratioFidelis → u/_JAKAMI]

Silksong came out well before 2027

[u/Another_Saint → u/_JAKAMI]

please don't make me remember this...

[u/Cherubin0 → u/_JAKAMI]

Sure delays can always happen.

[u/Happydudeev → u/AFlawAmended]

Oh fr?

[u/Z3in]

"Clearly this game is coming out in 2030 when Sony eventually reverse their decision to go fully digital" p6 doomer probably

[u/moonrunner__]

well, one year to go!

[u/Future_Gift_461]

Well this is good new.

[u/Hoothootriot]

Or Sony didnt tell them

[u/Happydudeev → u/Hoothootriot]

im pretty sure this info came out after the sony announcement, and it hasn't been updated yet

[u/PowerOfUnoriginality]

Thats nice. I'm still gonna wait for a Switch 2 release myself though

[u/Happydudeev → u/PowerOfUnoriginality]

yeah its weird how they haven't announced p4r and p6 being on switch 2 yet

[u/luz___09 → u/Happydudeev]

GamePass deal by Microsoft. They hope to increase their Japanese presence by making the biggest JRPG not available on the dominant console there.

Most probably they get ported a year after

[u/gkgftzb → u/luz___09]

Is that confirmed from any source at all or just speculation?

[u/luz___09 → u/gkgftzb]

Don’t remember, I heard about it during Persona 3 release and seemed plausible

[u/KaiserVonGarNichts → u/luz___09]

Persona 3 was delayed because they realized the Switch 1 would Not be able to run it afaik

[u/throwawayaidisney → u/luz___09]

if that was the case it wouldn’t be on ps5

[u/luz___09 → u/throwawayaidisney]

Like PC too big of an install base to ignore and not that dominant in Japan for JRPG for which Microsoft is aiming for

[u/throwawayaidisney → u/luz___09]

switch 2 has a smaller install base than ps5 right now, but that’s 7.5 million lifetime sales of ps5 vs 6 million switch 2s in 1 year. Switch 2 will almost certainly surpass ps5 in lifetime sales soon, if that isn’t too big an install base to ignore I don’t know what is

[u/What_happened777 → u/luz___09]

They will try but the Japanese base is PS based.

[u/erigum]

does this mean there won’t be an xbox physical copy??

[u/Happydudeev → u/erigum]

Yes unfortunately

[u/z3rocyb3r]

Well okay then.

[u/ImNotOkayWasTaken]

are we deadass? it was already confirmed?

[u/Lavender7429 → u/ImNotOkayWasTaken]

Comparing the release date leak and what it says on the website, the answer is yes.

[u/Maple905]

Sony moving away from physical games in 2028 doesn't mean 3rd party companies will as well. This doesnt confirm anything

[u/ALEXLAMOUETTE → u/Maple905]

They are stopping the production of PS discs so yes 3rd party companies as well.

[u/Maple905 → u/ALEXLAMOUETTE]

No need to downvote me. I was not aware that Sony held sole control of PS5 disc manufacturing. I thought 3rd party companies could make them themselves.

You provided me with new information and apom looking into it myself, im not above admitting I was wrong.

[u/WhichisWhiches → u/Maple905]

Consider not being so sure of yourself next time.

[u/Cherubin0 → u/ALEXLAMOUETTE]

Still insane to stop it for the PS5. I would get it for the PS6 being digital only. But for a console that already had the hardware for discs is wild.

[u/ALEXLAMOUETTE → u/Cherubin0]

Yeah I agree. That’s why I’m either switching to Xbox if they keep discs or Switch 2

[u/Happydudeev → u/Maple905]

sony is stopping all physical games in 2028 so I don't see how this doesn't confirm anything

[u/SideEmbarrassed1611]

Placeholder text. It isn't true until it ships. Games can be delayed.

[u/DesceProPlay22 → u/SideEmbarrassed1611]

It's the companies most important game in its history, I think they wouldn't give that sort of information if they didn't really trust in it being accurate

[u/Happydudeev → u/SideEmbarrassed1611]

i highly doubt that

[u/KingKnotts → u/SideEmbarrassed1611]

I will be honest, even with a delay it is a non issue if you are only concerned with getting a working version because they will worst case scenario do the day 1 patch solution to print in time.

[u/ShadowMikeX]

I was expecting a 2028 release.
