Atlus announced a bunch of Persona 5 spin offs last year- and while Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight already launched in Japan earlier this year, and has been announced for a western release next year, Persona Q2 has been far more enigmatic. See, it was announced last year, as the follow up to the delightful Nintendo 3DS exclusive Persona Q, but it was announced with just a logo, and no footage. And it hasn’t even been mentioned once, since.
Persona Q was a crossover RPG that brought together the casts of Persona 3 and Persona 4 in an Etrian Odyssey styled dungeon crawling RPG. It was the first Persona game on the 3DS, and went on to do fairly well (it helps that it was one of the better Persona spin offs, too). People have naturally been curious about Persona Q2– the Persona 5 cast is confirmed (one of the few things we know about the game), but what else? Plus, what will the game play like?
And is it still a Nintendo 3DS exclusive? The original was- but that was back in 2014. By the time Persona Q2 launches in the west, it will be 2019- with 3DS sales slumping, is that eve a good idea? Not that Atlus is any stranger to doing that kind of thing, though…
Well, all these questions get answered tomorrow. During the broadcast of tomorrow’s episode of the Persona 5 anime, a new video for Persona Q2 will air, shedding some brand new information on the title at long last. Guess we don’t have to wait for long. Unless we are waiting for the release, in which case we do.
