Plenty of game developers had struggles with their titles at the start of the pandemic, as plans had completely shift and employees started working from home. This led to multiple games facing delays, and Persona 5 Strikers is one of them.

Work on the English dub for Persona 5 Strikers started back in April, according to Erika Harlacher, the voice actress for Ann. From there, plans were quickly pushed back due to the severity of the pandemic.

“It was like about to start – right when quarantine went into effect, and then we had to like kind of put it on hold, thinking that we would just go back into the studio in a couple of weeks, and then we didn’t. Then we had to come up with a plan B.”

Atlus obviously figured out a way to make things work, it just took a bit of time. Thankfully, we'll all get to see how things turned out come Feb. 23rd, 2021.
