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.

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.

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.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
