Persona 5 Ryuji Sakamoto English Introduction Video

persona-5-screenshot-016

Atlus USA is continuing with their series of character introduction videos that also serve as English dub samples for the main characters in Persona 5. Last week we saw Ann introduced and now the character Ryuji Sakamoto, who will be voiced by Max Mittelman, is given the spotlight with an English trailer alongside an interview video with the voice actor for the character.

Ryuji was a promising track star who tragically suffered a career ending injury due to “overtraining” by the sadistic coach Kamoshida. With no future in the sport he loves and experiencing first-hand the evil of “shitty adults,” Ryuji becomes a social pariah who rebels against a society he perceives as corrupt. Even though he’s the definition of a troublemaker, he has a kind heart and always puts the Phantom Thieves before himself. In short, Ryuji is a true friend that can always be counted on to have your back in a jam.

You can check out that video plus an interview with his voice actor below and as for the game itself, Persona 5 is set to be released in North America and Europe on February 14th for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3.

Those who purchase the season pass will be given three DLC packs as well as day one access to two pieces of unlockable content, all of which is detailed below:

  • Human Conditions: Through several hours of additional mission content in three new world stories, players will uncover San Francisco’s biggest scandals on the cutting edge of science, medicine, and misuse. In Human Conditions, players will also experience new elite co-op missions and face a new enemy type: Jammer, with the technology to hunt players down.
  • No Compromise: Players will experience an all-new world story which mixes Marcus up in the seedy underbelly of San Francisco and puts him in the crosshairs of the Russian mafia. Also includes a new co-op mode: Showd0wn, where only the best players survive.

As for the day one content, it is as follows:

  • Root Access Bundle: Includes full sets of outfits, new cars, a drone skin, and a new weapon, as well as the Zodiac Killer mission.

Transport Fever draws from over 150 years of transportation history with more than 120 realistically detailed and moving trains, aircraft, ships, buses, trams and trucks that age with the passage of time. Campaign mode offers a wide range of real-world transit challenges inspired by North America and Europe in the 19th and 20th centuries, while endless mode lets endeavoring industrialists go wild with their imaginations in fully realized environments.

Flexible tools and an intuitive interface make laying down new roads and rails more straightforward and easy, giving players freedom to transform terrain and bend any challenge to their will, while Steam Workshop integration and extensive modding support allow for additional feats of community creativity.
