Recently released details about "Persona 5" are now giving fans an even better idea of what the upcoming role-playing game will be offering.

Starting off with the game's new storyline, players will be taking control of the characters in the game who will be known as the Phantom Thieves.

As the Phantom Thieves, the game's characters will be tasked with stealing the hearts of some evil people, and in doing so, they will also be reforming these corrupted individuals, according to translations provided by Gematsu.

Moving on now to the in-game dungeons, "Persona 5" players will be traveling through what is known as the Palaces, which they can gain access to via the Isekai Navi. The Palaces contain the treasures that represent the evil desires of the corrupted people and the players will need to take them.

The Palaces will also come in different forms, with some resembling castles and even art museums.

Similar to "Persona 4," the upcoming installment of the franchise will also provide players with access to different side objectives that they can complete in order to either increase the protagonist's stats or to even get closer to the other characters within the game.

Examples of side tasks players can do inside the game include going on dates, playing games and even taking part-time jobs.

Players can also pursue romantic relationships with some of the characters inside the game.

Since the characters in "Persona 5" are also students, players will also be able to attend classes and study afterwards.

There will also be special events inside the game that are attached to certain dates, so players will need to keep those in mind as they go through the game in order to avoid missing out on some interesting happenings.

"Persona 5" will be released in Japan on Sept. 15, while fans in North America will be able to get it on Feb. 14, 2017.
