The rumours were right: Catherine remastered for PlayStation 4 is real -- except it's also heading to Vita. We didn't see that one coming. This doesn't appear to be a simple remaster, either -- this sounds more like an enhanced version of the PlayStation 3 cult hit in every sense of the word.
First off, it's called Catherine: Full Body. According to Gematsu's translation, It'll feature a "large amount" of new endings, episodes, animated scenes, and, er, "sexy events". It'll even introduce a third Catherine named Rin. Atlus must be going the extra mile here.
That's not all, though. The game will apparently boast new modes and gameplay options. It's getting new difficulty modes -- we assume a beginner-friendly mode is on the cards here -- and other "convenient systems" are being added. Interesting.
Last but not least, it'll have an online battle mode, and we can all imagine how mental that'll be.
There's no date on Full Body yet, and all of this information has been nabbed from Japanese publication Weekly Famitsu, so there's obviously no word on a Western launch. In any case, we're bound to hear more soon.
Is your heart ready for more Catherine? Make the toughest of choices in the comments section below.

Vita means life.
nice, but probably won't be coming to vita in the west though
@manu0 Name a Vita version of a multi-plat that Atlus USA has skipped on.
I don't know if it'll get a physical release, but I feel confident in saying at the very least a PSN-only version is coming.
Disappointed it's not a new game. How since it seems like they're adding a lot, I might consider it.
Ever since remasters started coming out on the PS3, I would occasionally dream about the day I would see the news that an Intelligent Cube remaster was coming out. I’m still dreaming. 😞Seeing news like this always reminds me of that. I never see or hear anybody reminisce about that game. So sad. I never played Catherine, but I remember being interested back when it was originally released. Wouldn’t mind giving it a go on the PS4.
It's very hard to convey emotion with an internet comment.
But, I'm screaming inside with happiness.
Vita4Lyf. Word up son.
Definitely buying this, loved the first one and it sounds like they're adding rather a lot of new content. It was one of those games that really took me by surprise back when I played it and there's not really anything else quite like it. Awesome news!
Excellent news it's getting new content and even better that it will be on Vita.
If memory serves, this was a ps+ game a few years back during the golden years when every month was a treat.
@LieutenantFatman yup, this was on plus. Although shamefully another game added to my neverending backlog.
Releasing on vita though? Um YES!!!! I could see this being a nice to have on ps4 but sitting on my unplayed list again. On vita however, this will be mine. Keeping fingers crossed for a western physical release thank you Atlus!
Never played this but always been tempted. Will definitely pick this up.
Atlus seems to absolutely love the Vita.
This is cool. I've been wanting to play Catherine!
@Rob_230 Was interesting to note the director of Persona 5 is in charge of this update as well. Can only be a good thing, right?
@wakkawakka maybe you're right. i wasn't specifically thinking about atlus. it's just that, generally speaking, a lot of vita versions don't come to the west while the ps4 versions do.
Online battle mode sounds like an amazing idea. I'll have some of that.
@Ralizah @VotesForCows Just you wait. Persona 5 Crimson (PS3 port of an enhanced P5) will clearly be a thing. There are too many breadcrumbs in the game itself that has to amount to more than the rhythm games.
Don't stop believing. In Atlus we trust.
@Fight_Teza_Fight my boy kaz memorable words.vita means life.vita is the joint.word up son
@playstation1995 May the word be with you too my son. Word up son.
This would be great if they;d release this on Switch.But I'm glad I'm finally gonna have a chance to play this.
I'll see how it looks.
@Bread-Not-Toast I'd prefer a Switch version too, but, honestly, it's nice to see something substantive getting released on the Vita in 2018+, and I'll have a portable version of the game, so I can hardly complain.
Never had a ps3, would definitely buy this now. Hoping for a physical on vita, if not then will get on ps4.
I thought it's a brand new game...
Can love exist without pain?one of the coolest question in that game.
I had this on 360, it was a strange but pretty cool game. I’ll pick this up for PS4, if it comes West.
****** great to see the vita get another game really is Sony needs to start pumping out more games for it and support it because it's a good handheld
If there are people who know how to do remasters properly they are atlus.
Awesome! I will probably buy it again, this game is really unique.
@Nakatomi_Uk Nice to see you're so hyped but watch the language please!
I've heard of this game, but never gotten a chance to play it and I'm very surprised to see it getting a Vita release, so late into it's life cycle.
Wow. Great news. Definitely be getting it for the ps vita. Ps vita the forgotten console that just keeps on given.
Oh baby yes.
Hell yeah
This is a perfect PSV title...The puzzle mechanics as part of story driven gameplay. I never finished Catherine, but I did love what I played of it. It was just difficult to dedicate myself to that style of game on a home console.
But on my PSV? Oh hellz yeah! I'm gonna play the crap out of that.
Excited, but I'll wait for a release date and western release to be announced to let out my full excitement.
Never played the first! But certainly will try this one! As a psychologist I'm very interested in a mind exploration game!
Just when you think Switch has mostly taken over the mission to revitalize Gen 7 legacy in a more accessible format, Vita reminds you that "revitalize" has her name right there within it. :3
I thought Catherine was a pretty cool game with an interesting premise, but I don't think I have it in me to go through all of those puzzles again.
@Fight_Teza_Fight easiest way is to use a gif
@FullbringIchigo To be fair, I don't actually know how. Enlighten me please ?
@Fight_Teza_Fight simply copy the image address of whatever image you want to use and paste it between [ img ][ /img ]
so it should look like this (minus spaces)
[ img ] paste whatever the image address is here [ /img ]
REMEMBER NO SPACES AT ALL
@FullbringIchigo
Thanks!
I never played Catherine, might give this a shot when it's 50% off in the future.
