Newcomers and veterans can jump into Persona 5 Tacticawithout past knowledge. As usual for spin-off Persona games, developer Atlus will clue players in on who’s who and won’t spoil crucial story moments from the mainline title.
Unlike others, Persona 5 Tactica is also a bit unique. According to an Atlus blog viaXbox Wire, the spin-off is “like a theatrical version” of the Persona 5 timeline and is “not a canon new story” to the series. However, if you want to know why fans love the franchise and have the time, you could pick up Persona 5 Royal before jumping into Tactica to understand the characters and references Atlus will likely throw in.
