Want emancipation?&#8221; Each of the recent <em>Persona<\/em> releases have also featured a predominant colour in their design, blue for <em>Persona 3<\/em> and yellow for <em>Persona 5<\/em>, and it appears that the next game will heavily feature the colour red in its design.<\/p>\n<p>NeoGAF user Duckroll has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neogaf.com\/forum\/showpost.php?p=91358971&#038;postcount=1\">translated<\/a> early reports from Dengeki (a Japanese videogame magazine), with some vague details about the game&#8217;s premise. &#8220;The setting of the chairs in the teaser is a highschool classroom,&#8221; Duckroll translates. &#8220;The theme of the game is about the emotion joy of being released after overcoming trials &#8211; hence the imagery of chairs and chains. The game will continue to be focused on school juvenile setting of the series, but the tone this time will be completely different.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s interesting to note that <em>Persona 5<\/em> has been announced for release on the PlayStation 3, rather than the recently-released PlayStation 4. Atlus, and the <em>Persona<\/em> series in particular, has a history of releasing instalments on legacy platforms. <em>Persona 4<\/em> was released on the PlayStation 3 several months after the PlayStation 3 hit stores.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to <em>Persona 5<\/em> several other titles were announced.
