These recently launched offers are part of Sega’s publisher sale, which also saw the company discount a large portion of its Steam library, including multipleLike a DragonandSonictitles. Historical precedent suggests that the Japanese gaming giant will hold at least one more bigPersonaseries sale before the end of the year, most likely around Black Friday 2024.
Be that as it may, this ongoing promotion still offers the most affordable entry point to the franchise that PC gamers have ever had. It hence serves as an excellent opportunity tostart playingPersonagames in order, and catch up on the series before its much-anticipated sixth mainline installment hits the market.

Much likePersona 3 Reload, the upcoming JRPG is expected to be a day-one release on PC.
Persona
Persona is an RPG franchise developed and published by Atlus, spun off from its larger Megami Tensei franchise. Originally releasing in 1996 under the name Revelations: Persona, the series typically follows a core group of High School students who have access to Personas, physical manifestations of a person’s psyche and subconscious, to do battle in combat. Newer games in the franchise, starting with Persona 3, have introduced the idea of Social Links, which lets players further strengthen and evolve Personas based on time spent with their owners outside of dungeons.
