Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight are launching in the Americas and Europe tomorrow, December 4! There’s a bit of add-on content launching alongside the games, so we wanted to take a moment to clarify details around those items.

ATLUS and Emulation
You might have heard earlier today that we issued a DMCA takedown notice involving emulation developer group RPCS3 and their Patreon page. Yes, it’s true. We settled upon this action for two reasons: We believe that our fans best experience our titles (like Persona 5) on the actual platforms for which they are developed. We […]
An Update on Persona 5 and Streaming
When Persona 5 launched, we put out a set of video/streaming guidelines that we hoped would limit online spoilers for fans who have yet to play the game.

Alto has the honorable Regnant Knights’ 9th Regiment watching his back, while Hilda’s wave of destruction is aided by the dastardly Harbingers. This got me thinking about the best […]
