The hype turned out to be premature: Atlus didn't announce Persona 6, but invited to a stream dedicated to the mobile game Persona 5: The Phantom X

Atlus Studios has published a post that has excited Persona fans, but its real significance is somewhat exaggerated.

Here's What We Know

Japanese developers published a poster, which many people took for the first image of the long-awaited Persona 6, but in fact it refers to the mobile game Persona 5: The Phantom X.

The authors signed the picture "I think you dropped something...Stay tuned" and left an owl emoticon, which hints at the character of the mobile game named Lufel.

Think you dropped this... ?

Stay tuned! pic.twitter.com/OA1KGYYYimU
