PERSONA 5 TACTICA Since its release in 2016, Persona 5 has delivered a slew of spin-off titles, and that is set to continue this year with the arrival of Persona 5 Tactica . The clue here is in the name: the tactical strategy-based RPG is set to feature a completely new story, with the cast from the original game and a new direction in gameplay for the series.
