Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth is aiming to be a tasty mashup of Etrian Odyssey with themes and characters from Persona 3 and Persona 4. Atlus today has released videos featuring the main heroes from both P3 and P4, complete with their English voice acting.
P3 Hero is in the top video, while P4 Hero is on bottom. These aren't the actual names of the characters, mind you. Those are decided by you: P1.
Atlus additionally announced that the Persona Q Premium Edition previously announced for Europe will also be making its way to North America. The premium edition on both sides of the pond will include:
- the Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth game
- a Persona Q-themed protective Nintendo 3DS case (can house a 3DS XL)
- the "Sounds of the Labyrinth" music CD
- an exclusive art book
- eleven Persona Tarot Cards
- a collectible outer box
Non-premium retail copies will also come with the tarot cards, with the first run of the game also decked in special packaging. The tarot cards are the second half of a two-part set, the first coming with copies of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax.
Persona Q will release in North America this 25th November, with a European release coming three days later.

Just the game Atlus, just the game.
Just wondering if Ill be the only person who reads the title "PS3 and PS4" and wonders if they're on Pushsquare.
Its been a long day.
hahaha, they gave the persona 4 guy adachi's voice
Knew about the premium edition since E3. That's the one I have preordered.
So... when are those special 3DS XLs coming over her, because honestly, that's the main reason I'm psyched for this game.
I'll be picking up the limited edition! Cant wait! Also can't want for Persona 4 Arena Ultimax!
w00t!!! Preordered!
I already preordered after E3! I can't wait for this!
Buy this spinoff so we can milk fans for enough money to make a main-series iteration on an entirely different system! What is this? Capcom (RE:R) and Sqaure Enix (Kingdom Hearts)?
I've known about this special edition since E3... I've had it on pre-order since!!
Also glad to see that PQ is keeping that M rating.. Even though it's seriously only because the P3 cast still uses the evokers to summon their Personas..
@R_Champ - That's a cynical but possibly accurate way to look at this.
We're also going through a silent video game crash of sorts, and these money saving/shuffling tricks are getting more and more common with loyal Nintendo customers being treated like the guinea pigs and cows to milk.
I hope we're both wrong and their just testing the waters for Personna ports and future installments on 3DS platforms, but we'll see...
@Spoony_Tech yup just the game for me too. I need to get Fantasy Life and Wii U . I'm really feeling the pinch for a Wii U now. I think Windy's videogame garage sale will be very soon.
Nice to hear that the tarot cards are still in the non-premium versions, but that fact that it's only 11 cards is still disappointing...
I also really hope by some miracle they choose Chie's first voice actor in Persona 4, but chances are they'll use the VA that's been used in Arena, Golden, and the anime dubs.
Man, I love art books and those tarot cards look cool, but $80 is a big no. Terrible price. Bravely Default came with everything there minus the case for $50, and I don't care about the case.
@Windy That will be one glorious garage sale!
@R_Champ I don't expect this spinoff to lead to the main series games getting released on 3DS.
If anything, I expect that they used it to promote Etrian Odyssey.
Now, SMT x FE is far closer to your original statement.
Hmmmm looks interesting, but still it's a persona without the "daily life" o so it seems... only the dungeon crawling... dunno.. I'll wait for a review to see how the story goes...
I'm torn on this. I love Persona 3 and 4, but hate first-person perspective games. Hopefully there'll be a demo.
Nice! I'd love to get that limited edition!
Sadly, I'll probably wait until next year to get the game, though.
I'm glad this game is canon too. Love both casts and I'm glad to see em all in one game!
Also... ADACHI IS VOICING YU (P4 protagonist)!!!
Im excited for this game... I actually wrote this off and forgot about it because i wasn't a 3DS owner... but now that i am, im excited again, lol
This and fantasy life!
I wasn't interested but this trailer made me interested, as there seems to be character interaction and not only dungeon crawling,... would have to wait for reviews
Oh, Teddie! <3
Played 4 on vita and though 4 looks better, glad Nintendo fans get a chance at Persona!
