The hotly anticipated release of Persona 5 is fastly approaching, and Atlus intends to continue drumming up excitement until it’s release on April 4th. This week, Atlus games did so by releasing the full schedule of Persona 5 DLC for both paid and free additional content. The bonus content rollout begins as Persona 5 launches on April 4th and regular releases don’t stop until early July. The first week of DLC will be a nice Persona 5 starter kit containing the Japanese voice track, a set of skill cards, healing items, and new difficulty settings.
The remaining lineup of Persona 5 DLC is far more stylish and pays tribute to the franchise’s roots. A week after Persona 5’s release, the fun costume choices being with costume throwbacks to its predecessors, Persona 3 and 4. You get to pick up the stylish school uniforms of those games protagonists and throw them onto your team of Phantom Thieves. The costume packs also come with a battle music track from the associated game. Personally, I can’t wait to hear the battle music from Persona 3 as I’m dressed up like a student at Gekkoukan High School. Each costume pack will be available to buy for just 6.99.
The homage costume packs continue for the following weeks. April 18th sees the launch of costumes from Persona 1 and 2 as well as outfits from the game that inspired Persona, Shin Megami Tensei if. I’m super excited to see all of the Shin Megami Tensei Spin-off game costumes make their way into the Persona 5 DLC. Cathrine and the Devil Survivor are both getting their own packs on May 2nd. Both be filled with fun costumes from the franchise. Let us not forget about the Persona spinoff costumes from Dancing All Night and Persona 4 Ultimax both which give the characters some new funky fresh costumes.
Lastly, if you don’t want to pay for your costumes, there will be at least one free costume pack each month. The free costumes are all really fun and include maid costumes, swimsuits, school uniforms, and a timely set of Christmas clothing.

If that didn’t rev up your excitement engine for Persona 5 then maybe you would like to try out some pre-release gameplay. We did a 4-hour playthrough of Persona 5’s 2nd dungeon just the other day. I’m excited to enjoy all the upcoming Persona 5 DLC, especially the difficulty upgrade which will be out when the game launches on April 4th.
Love Is a Long Road, the Tom Petty song in the GTA 6 trailer, saw a 36,979% stream increase after Rockstar’s reveal this week. Week-on-week Spotify data suggests that, but we’re sure it’s trending similarly on Apple Music and others.
Rockstar and the streaming service released an official Grand Theft Auto Radio playlist with six hours of hits from ZZ Top, Dr. Dre, Megadeth, and others. You can hear it here. Ever wanted to listen to Tom Petty this week?
This week’s Game Awards—what to expect? Geoff Keighley is keeping most announcements under wraps, but he has teased an update on Atlus’ long-awaited Metaphor: ReFantazio. The Persona team’s latest project may be released in 2024, according to rumors.
The title returned this summer after being revealed eons ago, but details are scarce. A new trailer should show more story, gameplay, and systems, as well as a possible launch date. Want to see more of this? The link will tell you when the Game Awards are.
If you play video games, you’ve probably played Skyrim, Bethesda’s decade-old open-world RPG. It’s become a meme after endless rereleases. The company wants to sell paid, player-created mods again after not getting the message from players.
Bethesda tested selling Skyrim mods on Steam in 2015, generously giving modders 25% of the proceeds. After Steam’s 30% platform fee, Bethesda would receive 45%, the “current industry standard.”. After fan backlash, Bethesda removed paid mods, and Steam refunded all purchases.
In subsequent years, Bethesda’s Creation Club added user-created content to Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition, requiring that it not violate lore. Bethesda could also release official Creation Club content on PlayStation.
The developer revealed Bethesda Game Studios Creations and a major update for the oldest RPG today. Players can still upload free mods, but creators can now apply for the Verified Creator Program. Certified modders can charge for their work. Since paid moderators no longer have lore-friendly restrictions, expect chaos.
This is already upsetting the community, and the line between official Creation Club content and moderators is blurring. The fact that paid mods disable PlayStation Trophies but not free Creation content is a disaster.
What do you think of Skyrim’s sorry state? Still playing? How’s the PlayStation Creation Club content?
