Atlus may have accidentally given fans a little more bang for their buck by revealing a new playable character in Persona 5 Tactica's latest trailer.
As reported by Game Rant, a two-minute character spotlight trailer (above) breaking down the moves and abilities of Joker, Mona, and Erina also revealed a character called Toshiro that will seemingly be playable in the game.
Only viewable briefly, at about 36 seconds into the trailer, the mission objective is to "have Toshiro reach the target destination". The bottom right corner of the screen, where playable characters like Joker and Mona have their health bars, also shows what's presumably Toshiro.
This character has a much smaller health bar than the others though, and also doesn't have any MP or an "Action" available to use, meaning it could just be an escort mission. Toshiro doesn't appear in the trailer again, so fans will just have to wait and see whether or not his character has any more importance.
The trailer otherwise shows off what players can do when controlling the other characters. Joker has a long range, single use pistol and a special ability called Phantom Judge that can deal big damage even to guarding enemies.
Mona's wind abilities allow him to knock enemies out of cover, ready for a follow-up from teammates, while his Winds of Time ability deals damage across a huge area. Finally, Erina can target multiple enemies with her weapons and has a special ability called Flag of Freedom that both heals nearby allies and weakens nearby enemies.
Persona 5 Tactica was revealed at the 2023 Xbox Games Showcase as a grid-based tactical RPG similar to the likes of Fire Emblem or XCOM. Its announcement came alongside one for Persona 3 Reload, a remake of the original PS2 game.
Persona 5 Tactica launches November 17 for PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Windows.
