Metis and Female Protagonist nowhere in sight
Duringa livestreamfocusing on thePersona Dancinggames, Atlus revealed a new trailer for the upcoming titles, as well as some news. In addition to the already announced roster, six additional characters will be joining the dance party for the games through DLC. No dates or trailers were given, but their announcement did leave something of a sour note for some.
Check out the new trailer below. However, be warned that some of the revealed characters are spoilers forPersona 3and5.
Some major details for the core game were shown off. Before the livestream happened,Famitsuconfirmed that Elizabeth would be joining thePersona 3cast for their game, while Justine and Caroline would be joining thePersona 5cast. They are likely the final members of the core casts for each game, much like how Margaret was the last one forPersona 4: Dancing All Night. The trailer also confirms that the PlayStation VR feature allows players to explore the characters’ rooms, which is kind of neat if it allows players to learn a little more about each character.
Now for the DLC news. The six characters announced were somewhat major ones to each game. Shinjiro Aragaki and Theodore will be joining the cast ofPersona 3: Dancing Moon Night, while Goro Akechi and Lavenza are joiningPersona 5: Dancing Star Night. Meanwhile, Labrys and Sho Minazuki from thePersona 4 Arenaspinoffs will be made available to both games, despite having never been a part of anythingPersona 5related to date. It’s unclear if buying the two fighters in one game will carry over to the other, or what songs any of the characters will be tied to.
It should be noted that at this time, the game is still two months from its May 24 release date in Japan. While the previous game still had DLC announced before launch, the third character, Hatsune Miku, wasn’t announced until several months after the Japanese launch. The announcement also feels very out of touch with the discussion around howBlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, another project that involves thePersonafranchise, has been handling its DLC.
Persona 3: Dancing Moon NightandPersona 5: Dancing Star Nightare set for release in Japan May 24 on PS4 and PS Vita. A box set, which includesPersona 4: Dancing All Night, will also be available.
