A new trailer for popular JRPG Persona 5 has emerged, showing off one familiar character.

The video, which you can watch below, spotlights the mysterious Igor, proprietor of the Velvet Room. This location is where the player can manage and fuse their Personas, and it is also shown off in the teaser. Take a look:

Now Playing: Persona 5 - Welcome To The Velvet Room Trailer

Caroline and Justine, the new Velvet Room assistants, are also showcased in the trailer, along with Persona 5's soundtrack. The video acts as an introduction to the mechanic of combining Personas, a vital ingredient in Persona 5. As always, the trailer also shows off the game's visual flair and stylish menus. They continue to look great.

The last major trailer focused on Palaces, Persona 5's version of dungeons, and you can check that out here. A bunch of smaller teasers have emerged recently; take a look at them all along with the rest of our Persona 5 coverage here.

Following a delay announced in November, Persona 5 launches on April 4 for PS4 and PS3--unfortunately, the game will not be coming to Nintendo Switch.

Randomly picked up P4 Golden and a Vita over the holidays. I still remember booting the game up and saying "well this is a return" while watching the intro.

Now, 100 hours later (30 of which are invested into P3 Portable) and I'm goddamn hooked. I can't believe I found this and the Fire Emblem series due to random drunken purchases... Oh well, bring on Persona 5!

Also hopefully margaret, theodore and elizabeth comes back as cameo or something. The new assistant seems cool but its kinda weird they get rid of margaret when she is the one that replaces elizabeth. Also need to know what happened to elizabeth after she left the velvet room, did she save the p3 mc or not.

Wish they didn't change Igor's voice. I loved his old high-pitched VA... did that VA die or are they pulling a Metal Gear Solid, David Hayter.

@Super_Tramp: Having finished the game in Japanese I don't want to spoil this for you, but, let's just say there is a reason. Play the game to find out!

@Super_Tramp: yeah the VA for igor in P3 and 4 matched the character so well. Some people on youtube said the new guy who is the VA for igor in japanese has a deep voice so thats why they change it for western release. Seems pointless tho

@Super_Tramp: I thought it was the Japanese VA who died. He was replaced with a similarly deep-voiced guy. Maybe they wanted this change to be consistent? I prefer the Mr. Burns-esque VA too.

Executions? Now that sounds stupid. But then in P3 they used some kind of gun to summon personas by shooting themselves in the head. Gotta remember not to take this stuff too seriously.

@Atzenkiller: it was the theme for the game. P3 was about some op jesus MC, P4 was about solving a serial murder and P5 was about fighting the power, corruption and stuff. The velvet room is based on the main character journey. Also its a jrpg, dont take it too seriously.
