Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5: Dancing Stars Night are coming to the PS4 and PS Vita this week. The new games are rhythm game spin offs based on the superlative soundtracks of the games i the vein of Persona 4: Dancing All Night, so it’s easy to see why they are so eagerly anticipated by the series’ fanbase.

Now, we know what the file size for both games will be on the PS4- 3 is 8.67GB, and 5 is 8.64GB. If you get the Special Edition which also includes a PS4 version of Persona 4: Dancing All Night, that one is 5.17GB. If you get all three, you’ll need 22GB free on your system. The file sizes for the Vita versions have not yet been shared, but we can expect them to be smaller than the PS4 versions, which include higher resolution assets, and PSVR compatibility.

Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5: Dancing Stars Night are both launching on PS4 and PS Vita in Japan; for now, a western release date has not been confirmed.

The next trailers advertising the upcoming Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5: Dancing Star Night feature a pair of characters that featured heavily within the Arc System Works collaboration fighting title, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. Sho Minazuki and Labrys can take to the stage in either title as DLC, despite them having exactly zero connection to Persona 5.

Labrys, an Anti-Shadow Weapon like Aigis, is prominently featured in both Persona 4 Arena titles, while Sho Minazuki was the antagonist for Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, where he was trying to destroy the world. The DLC will be cross compatible with either version of the game, with Labrys featuring a remix of “Today” from Persona 4 Arena and Sho dancing to a remix of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax’s theme “Break Out Of…”

Previous character trailers have shown off their respective game’s protagonists Makoto Yuki and Ren Amamiya, Ken Amada and Haru Okumura, Fuuka Yamagishi and Futaba Sakura, and several more, including DLC trailers for Lavenza and Theodore. While news of the dancing titles coming West has not happened yet, Japanese players and those willing to import can look forward to release as of May 24, 2018

Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5: Dancing Star Night are the upcoming rhythm games from Atlus which will soon release in Japan for the PS4 and PS Vita. The games feature characters from Persona 3 and Persona 5 as they dance to music from these games. Now, a new trailer has been revealed for Lavenza who will be made available as a DLC character.

We’ve already seen some intro movies to both these games and they look great so far. While Lavenza was a part of the cast of Persona 5, she will  also be available in Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night. She will be made available after the launch of both the games, but it remains to be seen when exactly that will be.

Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5: Dancing Star Night will release for the PS4 and PS Vita in Japan on May 24. As of now, no Western release has been announced.

The twin rhythm games from Atlus, Persona 3 Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5 Dancing Star Night, have yet to receive western release dates. However, it’s a matter of time before Atlus wants to milk their franchises dry across the pond, so we’ve got two new trailers to check out for the games.

Haru Okumura from Persona 5 headlines the Dancing Star Night trailer, matched to a remix of Beneath The Mask from Persona 5’s soundtrack. Several costumes and locations are shown off, including her regular clothes, Phantom Thief outfit and a ballet inspired dancing dress. Maybe her precise beautiful moves will win her a few more points in the fandom?

For Dancing Moon Night, Ken Amada takes centre stage. The young boy receives an angelic inspired dancing costume and is shown with a remix of ‘Light the fire up in the Night’ from 3DS title, Persona Q. You can check out previous coverage and other trailers here and here.

Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5: Dancing Stars Night are due out in Japan soon, which means advertising for them on TV has started (you see, in Japan, Persona is a big enough series that it gets major commercial airtime on television). The two newest commercials, one for each game, show off some favourite characters from each—you can check them out for yourself below.

In the vein of Persona 4: Dancing All Night, Dancing Moon Night and Dancing Star Night are rhythm games starring characters from each of those games jamming it to some fan favourite tunes from each. Given how great the music in Persona games is, and that this is the only way I get to dance with Makoto, these games are sorely necessary.

Both games launch on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita in Japan come May 24. A western release has not yet been announced or confirmed—hopefully soon.

Atlus has announced that some fan favourite characters from Persona 3 and Persona 5– although, with the exception of Akechi and Shinji, just why you would have any of the other characters as a “favourite” is a concept that completely eludes and baffles me- will be available as DLC for Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5: Dancing Stars Night.

These characters include Goro Akechi and Lavenza from Persona 5, and Theodore and Shinji from Persona 3. These are the okay characters that I don’t necessarily mind being in the games- then there is the inclusion of Labrys and Sho from Persona 4 Arena, which outright confuses me. Who asked for these characters? Why would you waste your time implementing them?

But hey, why do I care, I got my favourite character confirmed for these games already. So sure, go ahead. Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5: Dancing Star Night are both due out for PS4 and PS Vita in Japan in Summer. A western release has not yet been announced.

I was originally looking at getting Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5: Dancing Star Night, the upcoming rhythm game spin offs based on Persona 3 and Persona 5 respectively, on the PS Vita, but this changes things. According to the Japanese PlayStation Blog listings for the PS4 versions of both games, the titles will have PlayStation VR compatibility of some kind.

The actual nature of PlayStation VR compatibility hasn’t been confirmed- but there will be something, at the very least. Now, I don’t know what that might be, but this indicates that there is a possibility that I might get to hang out with Makoto in VR, so, you know, this means I’m getting the PS4 version now. As well as a PSVR headset.

Persona 3: Dancing Moon Night and Persona 5: Dancing Star Night are coming to the PS Vita and PS4 in Japan later this year; sadly, for now, no western release for either game has been mentioned or confirmed.

Persona 5 Dancing Star Night and Persona 3 Dancing Moon Night are the upcoming rhythm games being  developed by Atlus. Now Atlus has released a whole bunch of new screenshots for these two upcoming games.

These spin-offs were announced last year and fans are certainly going to be excited to try out these games to once they get their hands on it. The screenshots showcase characters from both these upcoming titles giving us a glimpse into the different dance styles and also the artwork in these games. Characters featured in these screenshots are Ann Takamaki, Ren Amamiya, Ryuji Sakamoto, and Makoto Nijima from Persona 5 and Aigis, Yukari Takeaki, Mitsuru Kirijo, and Junpei Iori from Persona 3. 

Both these titles will be releasing for the PS Vita and PS4 on May 24, 2018 in Japan. No information regarding a western localization has been announced as of now. Thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments section below.
