Another announcement shook things up slightly, which combines [...]
A recent announcement for the upcoming Dark Souls II assured us that Atlus’ challenging RPG series still has plenty of steam, and left us dying to hack and slash our way through ravenous hordes all over again. Today, the Souls train shows no signs of stopping; Atlus announced today that the original masterpiece Demon’s Souls is making its [...]
I am not now, nor have I ever been, a JRPG fan. It’s difficult for me to explain why I dislike the genre because the answer would be “almost everything about it.” It’s not a genre that appeals to me and the last JRPG I ever enjoyed was Legend of Dragoon which was released in 1999 [...]
Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan may not be coming out until February 26th in North America, but that doesn’t mean Atlus can’t start rolling out the trailers to get 3DS-owning RPG fans pining for the next big title. The first English trailer acts as a gameplay teaser, meaning there’s nothing in the way [...]

Atlus continues to roll out promotional media for Code of Princess, their upcoming Nintendo 3DS title, and we can’t say no to that!

Atlus has revealed the pre-order bonus for fall’s Persona 4 Golden on PS Vita: a customized P4G protective skin, as well as 8 exclusive wallpapers. The skin has the distinctive houndstooth and bright yellow design the game is known for and we have to say it looks pretty slick. Atlus also confirmed that yes this is the [...]
Atlus has been pretty silent about Code of Princess since they announced the release window of fall 2012, but now we finally have a firm release date of October 6th. The Nintendo 3DS brawler comes in the spirit of Sega Saturn’s Guardian Heroes and is equipped with over 50 playable characters and four player online multiplayer battles. [...]
Atlus may be inundating fans with new Persona 4 Arena trailers, but this “full” trailer is without a doubt the best yet. One of Persona 4 Arena‘s major draws for fans of the series is the fact that it takes place two months after the events shown in Persona 4‘s true ending, and we finally get to catch a [...]
In a surprising turn of events, Atlus USA announced in its official forum that the PlayStation 3 version of Persona 4 Arena, the upcoming fighting game collaboration between Atlus and Arc System Works, will be region-locked.

The game definitely looks more in [...]
