Person 5 Scramble: Ghost Strikers will launch in the West in February 2021, a year after its release in Japan, according to a trailer publisher Atlus uploaded to YouTube and very quickly deleted on Friday.

The hack-and-slash spin-off of the Japanese role-playing game franchise premiered on February 23, 2021, when it launched on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Windows PC. Gematsu kept a copy of the trailer before it was taken down.

Polygon has reached out to an Atlus representative for comment.

The person 5 strikers, as it is commonly known, is a cross of the Persona canon with Dynasty Warriors. The game stars Joker, the protagonist of Person 5 (which has moved on to other titles since this game launched in 2016), and combines Dynasty Warriors’ real-time button combat with Persona’s turn-based battles. Players choose a team of three fighters to accompany Joker as they explore a storyline set six months after the events of Person 5.

Person 5 launched in 2016 and was followed in the West by the launch in March 2020 of 5 Person Royal, who added characters and tweaked the story to go along with them. Persona 5 StrikersThe launch in Japan in February 2020 was enough to get Western fans to consider import options, with no language localization.
