A teaser for the series is live on Aniplex's official site, but it's currently only available for viewing in Japan.

This isn't the first time Atlus' popular role-playing franchise has received an anime adaptation. The story of Person 3 was told in a four-part anime movie series, and Persona 4 received two anime TV series adaptations.

Additionally, a 30-minute special Persona 5 called The Daybreakers was released prior to the game's launch.
