At one point, having the Persona games on Switch felt like a pipe dream, primarily because it seemed like PlayStation would forever be the exclusive home to the mainline entries. That all changed in 2022 with the release of Persona 5 Royal on Nintendo Switch, and Atlus has steadily brought its remasters and remakes to Nintendo’s hybrid ecosystem ever since. With Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden arriving on Switch in 2023, Persona 3 Reload in 2025, and Metaphor: ReFantazio – a fantasy RPG made by several former Persona developers still under the Atlus umbrella – in 2026, Nintendo…
I start up Tiny Tim’s 1968 song, “Tiptoe Through the Tulips,” as I creep closer to an unsuspecting Civilian, breathing heavily behind the stark white mask of Michael Myers, moving close enough for proximity chat to turn on. The player controlling the Civilian before me shrieks, shouting, “Aw hell no, it’s Pennywise!” Pennywise is not in Halloween: The Game, nor has he ever been connected to the long-running horror series (or Tiny Tim, for that matter). But alas, my random song selection and the unexpected reaction it inspired from an online stranger is now canon to my time playing IllFonic’s…

It’s centered around Jace Beleren, a legendary Planeswalker who knows the Multiverse is awry and needs to be fixed at its core.
