Going into Tokyo Game Show fans of the Persona series were hoping for a release date announcement and while that is partially the case, it also came with some bad news. Atlus announced that Persona 5 will no longer be making its 2015 release window and will now be released in summer 2015 in Japan and sometime later in 2016 for North America. The reason given for the delay is to tune up the gameplay and make sure to deliver a product to meet fans’ great expectations.

That wasn’t all Atlus had to show however as they also revealed a third trailer for the title as well as a Japanese interview with the director accompanied by some extra gameplay footage.

Although Yoru no Nai Kuni is set to be released in Japan in a couple of weeks for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita Koei Tecmo did not have anything extra to show off for the game at Tokyo Game Show after the last few trailers demonstrated elements of the game’s transformation system.

What they did have to announce regarding Yoru no Nai Kuni will still please many fans as Koei Tecmo announced that they are planning on bringing the PlayStation 4 version of the title to North America and Europe in early 2016.

It is worth noting that they are still using the Yoru no Nai Kuni name for now and shortly after the announcement stated to fans that they are re-thinking bringing the PS Vita version to the West as well.

You may remember that back in 2012 NIS America brought the Compile Heart developed Mugen Souls over to North America. Well, although the game was given a sequel it has largely been gone from the mind of gamers but apparently not forgotten as Ghostlight Interactive has announced that they are working on bringing the original game to the PC.

The company has announced that they are planning on releasing Mugen Souls on PC via steam in Q4 2015 for a currently unannounced price. It is worth noting that despite this being a separate release from the original PlayStation 3 version, that this PC release will still have the bathing mini-game removed due to censorship issues.
