During an interview with Dengeki PlayStation Magazine, Director Katura Hashino, of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 fame, hinted at the next Persona game. Hashino stated that he wants to keep the core Persona elements while making some improvements. The Persona series have been very successful ever since the release of Persona 3 back in 2007, leading to the creation of an anime based on the Persona universe called Persona: Trinity Souls. With the expected release of a Persona game, fans of JRPG have something to look forward to, but one can only hope that the game will have the same appeal as the other Persona entries. Rumors are floating around that the game may be released for the Playstation 3 - a welcome change. Till then players who are itching for a Persona fix can look forward to the Playstation Portable port of Persona 3 in July.

According to Nintendo, they will have more information available at E3 and the system will go on sale in the fiscal year starting in April 2010 and ending in March 2011.
