Atlus will finally cater to the international fans of "Persona 5" later today as they are tipped to host a live stream event that will reveal the first English gameplay for the upcoming role-playing video game.

The announcement was made via a press release that reads, "We're the Phantom Thieves of Hearts and we're back to leak some juicy Persona 5 news! We've successfully forced ATLUS to finally show the first English gameplay of Persona 5, and they're going to debut it at their 'Let Us Start the Game' live stream event on Nov. 16. We're warning them to make it the biggest live stream they've ever done, so expect special guests, giveaways, and the latest Persona 5 news."

The said event will be streamed on Atlus' official Twitch channel at 12 p.m. PST or 3 p.m. EST.

On top of the preview of the game, some other goodies can be expected as it has been a long time coming for everyone outside Japan to get their hands on "Personal 5." The title was already released locally and has been immensely enjoyed by Japanese gamers since Sept. 15. Although the content is already available to peek at, most international players have held out and are waiting anxiously for a dedicated English-dubbed gameplay.

For those who do not mind knowing at least a bit before they finally get to dive into their own copy of "Persona 5," reception for the title so far has been positive, almost garnering a near-perfect score. That only means that the long wait, at least for fans not based in Japan, will be very much worth it.

"Persona 5" will give players the chance to live out the life of a silent protagonist which for this iteration is high school student living in Tokyo alongside a plethora of new characters that will presumably play pivotal roles in the title. It will roll out worldwide on Feb. 14, 2017, for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Meanwhile, head here to catch Atlus' event happening later today.
