As the Persona series continues in its trend of spinoffs while development on the sixth mainline entry is underway, speculation has arisen over a Persona "party game" in the works. Rumored to be a crossover title featuring the main characters of the Persona series, this party game, referred to as Persona ASA, is said to be an homage to the series. Though its validity has yet to be confirmed, the trend seen across prior Persona spinoffs, including the most recent Persona 5 Tactica, begs the question of whether ASA will include a story with its gameplay, and just how canon this might be to the series' greater timeline as a whole.
