PS4 players can also pick up the "Take Your Heart" premium version and the SteelBook launch edition. The Take Your Heart version costs €90 / £80 and comes with the game in a SteelBook case, soundtrack CD, a Morgana Plush, a 64-page hardcover art book, a school bag, and a collectible outer box. The €70 / £55 SteelBook launch edition includes the game in a SteelBook case.

Only the standard version of Persona 5 will be available on PS3.

Persona 5 was shown at E3 in June and, during the event, it was revealed that in-game activities include school quizzes, so prepare to have your knowledge tested yet again. We also got another look at Persona 5's stunning menus.
