Okay, we know that Persona 5 isn't even out here in the West until next year, but that hasn't stopped Atlus from mentioning a possible Arena spin-off. For those out of the loop, Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax are stylish 2D brawlers crafted by Arc System Works of BlazBlue and Guilty Gear fame. They take characters from the...
News Persona 5 Is Three Weeks Old and It's Already Atlus' Best Selling Game Ever in Japan
JPRG approaches half a million sales
According to the latest Media Create sales charts, Persona 5 currently sits at 427,795 copies sold across PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Not quite Yo-kai Watch numbers, but still reasonably impressive given that Atlus titles have never been sales juggernauts. Even more impressive is that Persona 5 is now...

News Persona 5 Storms Japanese Amazon Charts Following Final Fantasy XV Delay
Atlus RPG gets a huge pre-order boost
Okay, so there isn't much of a story to this one, but it's an interesting footnote all the same. In case you haven't heard, Final Fantasy XV has been delayed worldwide until the 29th November. Its previous date, the 30th September, placed it just a couple of weeks away from the release of Persona 5, which is...

News Persona 5 Brings Back the Very Easy 'Safety' Difficulty Setting
Fun for everyone
In Persona 4 Golden, Atlus introduced a difficulty setting know as 'Safety'. Sitting below Easy, Safety essentially ensured that anyone could enjoy the release without having to worry about getting a Game Over screen. Characters would revive automatically if their health hit zero in combat, enemies were significantly weakened, and...

News Dead Island's Deep Silver to Publish Persona 5 in Europe
SEGA's washing its hair
Persona 5 finally has a publisher in Europe – and its Dead Island's Deep Silver who's taking the reins. The company previously collaborated with Atlus to bring Catherine to the Old World, so it's a partnership that makes sense – though why owner SEGA can't just do it itself, we'll never know. It looks like the...

E3 2016 Persona 5 Won't Have a Japanese Voice Option in the West
Dub snubbed
Bad news if you're a fan of original Japanese voice work: Persona 5 will only feature English voice acting here in the West, with no option to change it. Not a massive surprise, perhaps, seeing as both Persona 3 and Persona 4 didn't have an optional Japanese dub either, but a slight disappointment nonetheless. However, we reckon it's...

News No, Persona 5 Is Not Being Published By Sony in Europe
Bit of a shame, really
A rumour popped up earlier today claiming that Sony is planning on publishing Persona 5 in Europe. The source of the rumour was spotty at best, and we can't even find the origin of it right now, but none of that really matters since Atlus PR manager John Hardin has debunked the hopeful whispers. "Sorry Europe, but once...
