Written by Brandon Hofer on November 25, 2014

News: Atlus has released a new Persona game exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS with the protagonists from Persona 3 and Persona 4.

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth is now available according to Atlus. In Persona Q, characters from Persona 3 and 4 have been given a complete visual overhaul to match the Etrian style and plunged into an alternate world resembling Yasogami High School. The protagonists from Persona 3 and Persona 4 get trapped in a school festival, where the themed classrooms are actually sprawling dungeons teeming with monsters. As both groups seek a way out of the labyrinth, they will run in to two new characters, Rei and Zen, who may hold the secret to this new mystery.

Some of the gameplay features for Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth include:

Engaging Characters and Story - Revisit the beloved cast from Persona 3 and Persona 4 to learn more about them and their social relationships with each other. Then engage in a brand new story with the new characters Zen and Rei.

More than 80 hours of brand new Persona story to explore - A new, standalone story awaits the protagonists from Persona 3 and Persona 4. Each side of the story will have different dialogue choices and reveal new aspects about the circumstances surrounding the cultural festival.

Familiar Persona Combat....in a brand new format - Persona Q is a true hybrid. Dungeon crawling will be done in the five-member party, first-person Etrian style gameplay, but characters will be able to equip Personas, powerful beings that unlock magic abilities, to create a wide variety of combat style.

Fully Voiced Story Dialogue - The game features fully voiced English audio, with thousands of lines of dialogue.
