Now that Atlus is done with their work on Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4 Golden, the team is now ready to put all of their manpower into developing Persona 5. The game's producer Katsura Hashino has also confirmed that Shigenori Soejima will be back as the character designer, since he has already come up with the sketches for the next title. Besides the news on Persona 5, Hashino is working on a collaboration project that will leave us surprised. 

Considering that P3 and P4 were both solid titles that I enjoy both equally, I look forward to the new improvements that Hashino has in mind for P5. Since Catherine and Persona 4 Arena were also on the Xbox 360, then there is a chance that Persona 5 might get the same treatment as well.

Despite my excitement for Persona 5, the one that I am mostly curious is the collaboration project, which could be anything at this point. It could range from a game that features various characters from the MegaTen games to a whole new title that will blow our minds. However, Persona 5 has more priority now, since it's going to be a while before the other project gets announced.
