This past week saw a major announcement be made for thePersonafranchise. It may not have been confirmation ofPersona 6, but it was the next best thing. Versions ofPersona 3,Persona 4, andPersona 5were revealed to be coming to modern platforms, including PC, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. There’s still one platform conspicuously absent from that list, however. The Nintendo Switch is not confirmed to be receiving thePersonaports at this time. Though evidence continues to grow that it’s just a matter of time.
The latest indication thatPersonawill be coming to Switch sooner rather than later stems from a recently discovered retailer listing. German retailer WOG.ch has created a profile in its online database forPersona 5 Royalon the Nintendo Switch, leading to some fans believing that the RPG is also coming to the platform but simply has yet to be announced.

No listings for the other twoPersonagames planned to be ported to new platforms were found on the retailer’s website. The other two games arePersona 3 PortableandPersona 4 Golden. That’s unsurprising, if only because those two games do not have release dates yet and will arrive afterPersona 5 Royalis released later this year.
It must be stated that retailer listings for games are historically unreliable. Those adding listings to retailer databases could be doing so based on confusion, inaccurate data, or simply by accident. What makes this specific rumor notable is that this isn’t the only evidence thatPersona 5 Royaleis coming to Nintendo Switch. A prominent leaker has also previously stated that thesePersonagameswill be coming to the Switch in the past.
IfPersona 5 Royaletruly is in development for the Nintendo Switch, then some may question why the game wasn’t confirmed alongside the PC and Xbox port announcements. The answer could be that Nintendo is preserving the announcement for one of its own shows. Nintendo skipped having a show early in June, but there are rumors that there will be aNintendo Directat the end of the month instead.
For the time being, it remains unclear ifPersona 5 Royaland the otherPersonagames will launch on Nintendo Switch or not. Though if by the end of June no announcement has been made, thenPersonafans may want to consider playing the games on another platform.
Persona 5 Royalereleases on October 21 for the PC, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
