If you’re anything like me, you could easily point out your two favorite Atlus IPs: Persona and Catherine.

You can’t blink without a new up-and-comer entering the cosplay scene. On our radar this week is a Russian cosplayer who took on Persona 5 best girl (fight me), Futaba Sakura.

Sure, Persona 5‘s Phantom Thieves aren’t “technically” superheroes, despite them saving people in Tokyo over and over.

After weeks of teases and leaks, Atlus finally announced this morning that it was bringing the classic puzzle adventure game Catherine to PC as of today.

As one of the most acclaimed games of last year, Persona 5 took our hearts with its stylish visuals and deep JRPG mechanics, and now it appears that those that either want to head back to its Japanese high school charms (or dive in for the first time) can look forward to the upcoming Persona 5 R.
The hottest story of this holiday week has been that of Persona 5 R, a seemingly new version of Atlus’ beloved 2017 JRPG Persona 5.

Seven years after the game’s initial launch, Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is still finding ways to stay relevant — even if it is entirely unintentional.

It doesn’t matter if you beat Persona 5’s 100-hour campaign, everyone lost their mind when Joker was announced for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at The Game Awards 2018.

After it was revealed that Joker would be the first DLC character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, many people are quietly (read “loudly”) wondering if we will see a Persona 5 port to Nintendo Switch. Nintendo America’s president, Reggie Fils-Aime may not be able to say yet, but his vague response certainly leaves the door open. Speaking
The Phantom Thieves are back again with Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight for the PS4 and PS Vita.
