While this announcement will have very little benefit for western gamers unless you own a Japanese Nintendo 3DS console, thanks very much Nintendo with your insistence to maintain region locks on your console, but ATLUS have today launched Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth in Japan.
To mark this release, the publisher has shared a HQ version of the opening animation available above. Most Persona openings tend to be distinct in my opinion, and this one is no exception – opting to go for something fun and colourful this time around.
ATLUS USA have already confirmed plans for a later North American release, and (hopefully) a swift PAL region release whether directly published or done through a PAL publisher such as NIS America.
Legend has it that listening to the end of the bell chimes of Yasogami High’s clock tower causes people to die, and this time the bell tolls for the Investigation Team and the SEES. Trapped in an other-world filled with Shadows, the protagonists from Persona 3 and Persona 4 each have different events to follow, allowing the player to choose and experience two different plotlines. As both groups seek a way out of the labyrinth, they will run into two new characters, Rei and Zen, who may hold the secret to this new mystery.
