Persona franchise surpasses 10 million copies sold

It has taken nearly a quarter of a century, but the Persona series has hit 10 million copies sold. That includes all games in the series: the main Persona role-playing adventures as well as spinoffs like dungeon-crawler Persona Q2.

Developer Atlus revealed this milestone in a blog post on its official Japanese Persona website today. It also revealed that it is planning to hold an event to reveal more about the upcoming Persona 5 Royal, which is revamped version of the Persona 5 RPG. Royal is due out for PlayStation 4 on October 31, and it is certainly going to add to Persona’s total sales going forward.
