Catherine: Full Body is shaping up to be quite the surprise package – in more ways than one. The re-release always promised to expand on the original’s story, but we weren’t expecting quite as much content as is teased in this new Japanese trailer, which hints at a wealth of previously unseen scenes. In many ways, this is looking more and more like a full-blown re-imagining of the PlayStation 3 title.
Of course, as you know, there’ll be a third Catherine to add to protagonist Vincent’s problems – and it’s now been confirmed that the pink-haired newcomer will be named ‘Qatherine’ in the game. As with the original, you’ll be pushing blocks to advance the story, but new options are being incorporated to make progress a little less infuriating – including a wholesale “skip” option.
If, however, you happen to like the puzzle solving, then the developer’s hoping to build on the series’ fledgling competitive community with online multiplayer. Even more excitingly, there’ll be DLC that will allow you to play as Persona 5’s hero Joker in the Babel and Colosseum modes, while the Phantom Thieves will be on hand to provide commentary in the Stray Sheep pizza parlour.
Perhaps most bizarre of all is that, in Japan at least, Atlus has cast a whopping nine other actresses as the eponymous succubus, and re-recorded every single line of dialogue in the game. Miyuki Sawashiro will still be the default star, but you’ll be able to buy voice packs that change things up – and you’ll get access to all of the DLC if you snag the first-print limited edition.
Speaking of which, the premium bundle will release on 14th February in Japan for the PS4 and PS Vita, and will come with the aforementioned vocal packs, as well as “sexy” costumes for supporting cast characters. It also includes a four-disc soundtrack, an art book, and special box art. A Western release is in the pipeline, but no further details have been announced.

Um, @get2sammyb isn't that cover image a little NSFW 🤣
@Turismo4GT I was always going to use it.
@get2sammyb fair enough, just a thought, I appreciate your candor.
@Turismo4GT People clicking on this article at work:
@get2sammyb that's what smartphones are for. My private property and all that...unless said phone is actually paid for and owned by the company you work for 😉

@Turismo4GT I don't think you should judge people like that. That's what's wrong with the world today, all the prejudice. People always see what they want to see. Just stop it please. What if he's just a nice doctor doing a medical check-up on her? You don't know. The fact that he's doing it after his working hours tell me he cares a lot about people. Maybe he saved her life because of it? Maybe he's just near-sighted, forgot his glasses, and needs to get very close? Who knows?
Nice. Really looking forward to this, as I somehow missed out on the original the first go around.
You know, Katherine looks really interesting to me, but I’m not gonna get it because, ahem, well, look at the picture at the top of the page.
@ShogunRok I love this gif.
I enjoyed this game on 360. Even went through the puzzles, on easy mode of course. I might come back to this if it gets a western release.
@shonenjump86 This game has already been confirmed for a Western release.

Loved the original. The third Qathrine is a big incentive to get this edition.
I know what I'm preordering when it gets announced...
This looks interesting, I don't care about the puzzle portion of the game but it seems the story is good
@Knuckles-Fajita have you forgotten the first trailer? https://youtu.be/clP9TQ8eXuw
So this is a visual novel with puzzle elements?
I liked the concept of the original but got too irritated with the puzzle sections so it ended up on the ‘will have another go at this later’ pile and is still there. This version is sounding like a really interesting take so I’ll be giving it a go.
Facesitting ftw.
@JoeBlogs if that's Qatherine, then it's probably more of a choking 😉
@JoeBlogs not many.
@ApostateMage I think its a new species of facehuggers.
@ellsworth004 it's a puzzle game with heavy story elements.
The skip option sounds good for those who want the story, but to be honest, if you skio the puzzles, your missing out on quite a big part of the game. The story is excellent, and 'Qatherine' sounds like a bug addition, but I wouldn't recommend skipping the puzzles.
Clicked on this article because of the thumbnail.
That bundle would be very tempting for me if it gets released in Europe. Still not sure how much I'll like this game, but I get more excited for it the more I hear of it.
Could be fun on the Vita, but no way in hell I'm risking playing this one during my lunch break.
@Octane ah yes, a doctor who really likes to get his nose buried into his work. How could I have been so daft?
Reminds me of that anime with the "Love Nectar"
Alright I've never played or really looked into these "Catherine" games... so seeing her sit on a dude's face caught me very off-guard haha.
I'd be surprised if that voice actor DLC makes it over to the west. Either way, I'll be looking forward to this, the original.
Always funny when people think trap is a derogatory term.
That's so hot!
@JoeBlogs What’s a vag-to-mouth? Is this a new JRPG?
Will is be a PS Vita western release ?
I hope the multiplayer does not have trophies some games are almost impossible to Platinum when the tacked on multiplayer is dead looking at you Tomb Raider. I got all the multiplayer trophies but i did not have the strenght to play the rest of the game after that. 😑
@brendon987 Not retail thats for sure. 😉
I hope this game comes to switch. I'm not risking playing this game on the TV
Really looking forward to playing this again, especially with the new additions.
For anyone who hasn't played it, it's really more smutty/risque than outright NSFW. I don't remember there being any actual nudity, for instance, just lots of innuendo, etc. (unless my poor little mind suppressed it all of course).
