Persona Q2 Coming West, Special Edition Detailed

<p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/persona-q2-new-cinema-labyrinth/">Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth</a> has been confirmed for a western release, heading to the US and Europe on June 4, 2019. The 3DS exclusive will cost $40 at launch, and like its predecessor, it crosses over the casts of various Persona games.</p><p>Persona Q2 is a spin-off featuring the Phantom Thieves of <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/persona-5/">Persona 5</a>. The heroes have to battle their way out of dungeons, each themed after a movie genre with its own set of tropes. They'll join up with both original characters and notable names from the Persona series along the way. Those will include characters from <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/persona-3-dancing-in-moonlight/">Persona 3</a>, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/shin-megami-tensei-persona-3-portable/">Persona 3 Portable</a>, <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/shin-megami-tensei-persona-4/">Persona 4</a>, and Persona 5. Clever team-ups between characters will grant special rewards through a new "Unison" battle system. It will be <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/persona-q2-wont-have-english-voice-work-will-have-/1100-6464731/">Japanese-only with subtitles</a>.</p><p>Atlus paired the announcement with word of a special "Showtime Premium Edition" for $70. That will include a Koromaru plush, art book, four buttons featuring the four protagonists, and a deck of playing cards with characters across the Persona series. Pre-orders also include the buttons set.</p><figure data-align="center" data-size="large"

in one place," wrote Michael Higham. "It's as if I had different groups of dearly beloved friends somehow meet each other, get along, and band together in a stylish fight for what's right. This might be the 3DS's swan song, and it'd be a hell of way for the storied handheld to end its tenure when it comes to the West on June 4, 2019."</p>
