Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth, a crossoverPersonagame exclusive for the Nintendo 3DS, will launch in North America on June 4, several months after its original Japanese release in November.
The announcement was made through a new trailer that was uploaded by Atlus USA to its official YouTube channel.
In addition to the North American release date, the trailer alsoshowed offPersona Q2‘s Showtime Premium Edition, which will include a copy of the game, a collectible box, an art book, a deck of playing cards, a set of four buttons featuring the main characters ofPersona 3,Persona 4, andPersona 5, and a 5-inch plush doll of Koromaru, the shiba fromPersona 3.
ThePersona Q2Showtime Premium Edition will be sold for $70, while a special launch edition that includes only a copy of the game and the set of four buttons will cost $40.
Persona Q2is a dungeon crawler RPG that features characters from the three latestPersonagames. Players will take control of Joker, the protagonist ofPersona 5who will be aSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatefighter, to explore a series of cinematic labyrinths that serve as parodies of popular movie genres.
Persona Q2, unlike previous ports ofPersonagames to North America, will not feature English voice-overs. It will launch in June with Japanese voices and English subtitles, with Atlus saying that there are no plans to add English voices to the game.
No reason was given for the lack of English voices forPersona Q2. The speculation is that, with the Nintendo 3DS nearing the end of its life, it wasnot worththe cost to bring in the English voice actors for all thePersona 3,Persona 4, andPersona 5characters.
Atlus has createdseveral spin-offsfrom the mainPersonaseries, withPersona Q2announced last year alongside dancing gamesPersona 3: Dancing Moon NightandPersona 5: Dancing Star Night.
Another alleged spin-off is apparently on the way, though details on the project remain very scarce. Atlus teasedPersona 5 Rat the end of December through a mysterious trailer, then said that more information about the game will be revealed in March 2019. There is a possibility thatPersona 5 Ris not the full title of the upcoming game.
