In the early 2010s, Persona 4 had taken the RPG world by storm. Even as western shooters and cinematic games took the mainstream market by storm, Persona 4 continued receiving new sequels and adaptations with every passing year. While anticipation had started to run high for Persona 5, most fans didn't notice that the game they were waiting so fervently for was already floating around online—5 years before its eventual release.
This video covers and explores the mystery surrounding the original Persona 5 that began circulating online in early 2012. Originally known simply as "Persona 5", it would later be known as the Persona 5: Imagining Project.

10/01/2024 UPDATE:
ATLUSxP5, the original mastermind behind the Imagining Project, has stepped forward and confirmed a continuation of the Persona 5 Imagining Project, currently planned for 2025. While the original ATLUSxP5 Twitter account has been reactivated, they've clarified that the Twitter account wasn't originally made by them; it was made by users posting in the Atlus forum threads and had no direct involvement with the ATLUSxP5's work, hence Minato Hikari's involvement with the account. The original ATLUSxP5 has since reclaimed the Twitter account for their own use, posting new updates on the project's continuation there and on Tumblr.
