Hello youse.

I haven’t read any of the Discworld books. Don’t judge me. I’m just – DO NOT JUDGE ME – not that big a fan of fantasy stuff, really.

Persona 5 isn't coming out until sometime in the "winter" of 2014 in Japan, but it'll eventually leave there, too. Atlus has announced Persona 5 is also coming to North America in 2015.

(That gives me plenty of time to finally play Persona 4 Golden on my Vita!)

Right now, Persona 5 is only scheduled for a release on PlayStation 3. A version for PlayStation 4 with Remote Play sure would be nice, though!

Atlus also confirmed the other recently announced Persona games--Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Persona 4: Dancing All Night--are coming over, as well. The update to Persona's fighting spin-off arrives this fall, while the series' introduction to rhythm is next year.

Update #1 is all done and is being tested by us now! Should be up in the next few weeks.
