Persona 4: Dancing All Night finally confirmed for Europe
Persona 4: Dancing All Night was announced at the end of 2013. An American release was confirmed shortly afterwards. Yet there was no word on whether the title would be released in Europe, or anywhere else for that matter. Given the popularity of Persona 4, the idea that it wouldn’t be released elsewhere was a silly one. It was bound to come over at some point, especially since an English-language version was going to be available in America. The question was when it would be released. And finally, we have our answer.
With the game already out in Japan, it’s now been confirmed that European fans will be able to get their hands on it this autumn. Hopefully, it’ll be around the same time that America gets it: 29th September.
What’s curious, though, is that Atlus, despite publishing the game in Japan and America, won’t be handling publishing duties for Europe. Instead, NIS America will be responsible for bringing the rhythm-action game to European shores (am I the only one that finds that ironic?). They have also published some of Atlus’ other titles, such as the 3DS Persona crossover Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth and some of the Etrian Odyssey games.
Persona 4: Dancing All Night is a spin-off the RPG Persona 4 made for the PlayStation Vita; instead of turn-based battles and dungeon crawling, you’ll instead take to the dance floor and bust a move to original and remixed music from Persona 4. It also features a brand new story, where Persona 4’s main cast are reunited to solve another mystery – the strange disappearances of the members of a pop group called Kanamin Kitchen. Believing it to be connected to something called ‘the Midnight Stage,’ our heroes embark on a mission to save the kidnapped idols and defeat the merciless monsters that lie within with the power of dance. It looks glorious to say the least.
Europe will also receive physical and digital copies of the limited ‘Disco Edition’ of the game, which comes with a whole lot of extra goodies. These goodies include:
- the full soundtrack to the game
- a uniquely designed Vita pouch
- a Teddie keychain
Those of you in Australia and New Zealand will be pleased to know that Dancing All Night will also be released over there by the end of 2015. Bandai Namco, however, will be publishing it. In the meantime, check out the E3 2015 trailer that Atlus released, just in case you need to be reminded why you should be excited.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games
Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.
In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.
According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.
In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!
Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Shift Up unveils the intriguing details behind the physical packaging of Stellar Blade for the PS5
It appears that many
are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.
We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.
