Here’s The Answer: Missing Persona 3 Bonus Chapter To Be Added As DLC

Here’s The Answer: Missing Persona 3 Bonus Chapter To Be Added As DLC

, , , 0

When Atlus remastered and re-released Persona 3 earlier this year, most fans were grateful but noticed it wasn’t the complete package. The original Playstation 2 release was followed up with an “expanded” edition that included an extra portion of the story, called “The Answer.” Now gamers wanted an answer from Atlus, but they remained silent….until today. All those who cynically put forth the theory that Atlus was saving The Answer to sell it separately as DLC were correct, but that probably doesn’t surprise them. The company made the announcement today during the XBox Partner Showcase. This new version of The Answer features “cutting-edge graphics, modernized quality-of-life features and all the upgrades that came with Persona 3 Reload.” To get The Answer, also known as Episode Aegis, you’ll need to purchase the Expansion Pass for Persona 3 Reload, which grants you other things besides that: you will receive the Persona 5 Royal EX BGM Set and Persona 4 Golden EX BGM Set when the pass goes on sale, the Velvet Costume

Persona 3 Remake Confirmed, Alongside New Pseudo-Persona

Persona 3 Remake Confirmed, Alongside New Pseudo-Persona

Yesterday Microsoft held its XBox Showcase where, among many other things, the two Persona trailers that leaked last week made their “official” debuts. To refresh your memory, they are Persona 5 Tactica, a spinoff XCOM-like strategy game, and a remake of Persona 3. But it’s what was revealed after that which was the most interesting. We remarked when these trailers first hit the Net that there should really be a Persona 6 by now. And we got some answers there: what’s coming next isn’t Persona 6, it’s a completely new game by the same team. Say hello to METAPHOR: REFANTAZIO. Sure looks like Persona 6, doesn’t it? Same art style, same cinematics, same types of characters, same dynamic loud menus with huge fonts. But it’s not. We’re going to have to wait a bit to find out why the team decided to make something new instead of the long-demanded sequel, and what exactly makes it different from Persona. All we have to go on at the moment is the above

UDON Announces Persona 5: Comic à la Carte

UDON Announces Persona 5: Comic à la Carte

There’s a lot of Persona coming our way, suddenly. News leaked yesterday of two titles coming to consoles soon: a remake of Persona 3 and a Persona 5 spinoff game called Persona 5 Tactica. In the latter, you move stylized P5 characters on a grid, position them strategically, and attack with turn-based moves. It’s much like XCOM or those games where Mario meets the Rabbids. But there will also be reading material: UDON Entertainment has announced they’ll be publishing the English version of an anthology manga based on Persona 5. They call it Persona 5: Comic à la Carte, and as its name implies, you get a mix of content: short stories, long stories, and one-off gags from over a dozen contemporary manga writers and artists. The book will feature stories by Yuztan (Dragon’s Crown manga), Kyosuke Suga (Danganronpa manga), Tachibananoneko, Ran, Ueno, Tsukito, Tokiwa, Kazuichi, Ryuuseee, 337, Miyasumi, Kyouichi, and Suga Toshio. According to Udon, “The stories range from playful to deadly, as the Phantom Thieves build their friendships

The good news is, the most beloved titles in the Persona series are about to finally become playable outside of the walls of Sony hardware. The bad news is, we don’t mean on Switch. Microsoft broadcast their Not E3 Showcase this morning and revealed many titles are in the works for XBox. One of the most surprising announcements, though, wasn’t for a new game at all but a series of older games. Persona 3, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 5 Royal are coming to XBox Series X|S, XBox One and Game Pass. While Personas 4 and 5 have been published and re-published since their debuts, Persona 3 hasn’t been seen on anything since its PSP port. It’s that version that will be introduced to XBox, with some promised graphics enhancements. Persona 3 and 4 will also be playable in French, Italian, German, and Spanish for the first time ever. And yes, this means the three Personas are technically coming to PC too, through the Windows XBox app. Currently P4 is

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim Open For Digital Preorder

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim Open For Digital Preorder

Why should you be interested in the upcoming tactical strategy game 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim? Because of the name on the box: Vanillaware. And if that brand doesn’t ring any bells, the words “Odin Sphere” or “Dragon’s Crown” should. The Japanese developer has gained fame for their use of lavishly painted characters and backgrounds. Vanillaware makes games that are as fun to look at as they are to play. Ovehead strategy battle games are a new genre for them (the previous two titles have been sidescrolling slashers with RPG elements). It’s dangerous to travel outside your zone of expertise sometimes, but the trail of awards 13 Sentinels has racked up in its home country seems to imply we have little to worry about. It was Future Division Winner at the 2019 Japan Game Awards, winner of the Best Scenario Award & Best Adventure Award at the 2019 Famitsu Dengeki Game Awards, and won the grand prize at the 2019 Japan Otaku Awards, among others. Beautifully rendered in Vanillaware’s signature hand-painted

Surprise — Persona 4 Golden Is Now On PC

Surprise — Persona 4 Golden Is Now On PC

The PC Gaming Show was streamed live early this morning, and the biggest announcement of the day was the surprise release of Persona 4 Golden on PC. Yes, it’s an older game, but it’s an excellent one and it’s become hard to find. The original Persona 4 was released on Playstation 2 in 2008. You live in the remote Japanese town of Inaba, building relationships with the citizenry by day and battling monsters in dungeons by night. Just like Junes, everything’s great in it, and the title was only outdone by Persona 5. A few years after the initial release, an enhanced version of the game, Persona 4 Golden, was put out in 2012 exclusively for the PS Vita handheld. It adds additional characters, features and storylines and is considered the definitive version of Persona 4. And until today, the Vita was the only place you could play it. Though that machine has a devoted cult fanbase to this day, most people don’t cart a Vita around. Fans have been

Persona 5: The Royal Officially Announced

Persona 5: The Royal Officially Announced

We’ve known for quite some time that Atlus was working on an “enhanced” version of Persona 5; we just didn’t know what would be in it or what systems it’d appear on. Today the first lengthy trailer for Persona 5: The Royal, or Persona 5r, was revealed, along with a Japanese release date (Halloween 2019) and a Western release window (sometime in 2020). Just PS4 for now. Switch owners are rightly mad about this, as months of rumors (and the fact that Joker is in Smash Bros now) have pointed to Persona 5 showing up on the handheld-hybrid system. But the week’s not over yet! Tomorrow Atlus is scheduled to announce something called “Persona 5s,” and though we still can’t confirm what exactly the “S” in the title stands for, “Switch” would be the most obvious meaning. If the “Royal” content is meant to stay exclusive to PS4, that feels like a waste. PS4 owners may not want to play the same game twice. Persona 4 Golden added roughly the

Persona 5 R Confirmed With New Trailer

Rumors that something called “Persona 5 R” was on the way have been confirmed. Atlus uploaded a short teaser to YouTube this morning….30 seconds in length, and revealing its existence. And its existence was about it. A date of March 2019 is mentioned at the end, but according to Atlus, this is simply when more of the game will be revealed, not the date of its release. Despite its most recent release being in 2016, it’s been a visible 2018 for the Persona series, culminating with the surprise reveal of Joker, the main character of Persona 5, as a DLC fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Many fans took this to mean a Switch port of Persona 5 is a full possibility, and that Persona 5 R was that port. Well……this teaser pretty explicitly opens with the Playstation logo. All indications would be the series will continue its Sony exclusivity for another year, and that this is simply an enhanced edition of the same game on the same console. That’s

In 2013 Atlus and Vanillaware introduced to the world Dragon’s Crown, a co-op action RPG with gorgeous graphics in the style of Odin Sphere (it was painted by the same people). Odin Sphere was remastered for the PS4, so fans asked, why not Dragon’s Crown? Atlus heard you and is introducing Dragon’s Crown Pro to the Playstation 4 this May. Dragon’s Crown Pro contains the same amazing brushwork of the original, only remastered in 4K. It also boasts a new soundtrack, composed by a live orchestra. Preordering the game will get you the “Battle-Hardened Edition,” which comes in a Steelbook case with seven physical skill cards inside. And NOW….there are Valentine’s Day cards! As a quirky means of promoting the game, Atlus has launched a special webpage that will let you send Dragon’s Crown-themed digital valentines to anyone you care about who can also stand your weird tastes. It takes a special SO to put up with phrases like “My love for you is no axe-ident!” or “I hope your
