Atlus has announced Persona 5 collaborations with three different games: SEGA’s Phantasy Star Online 2, Capcom’s Dragon’s Dogma Online, and Square-Enix’s Lord of Vermilion Re:3. We added the translated details from the news post of the official Japanese Persona 5 website below.

The pack will include all three “Stages” that are planned for the game. Individually, these stages will cost 2,500 yen (excluding tax), which is around $24 or €22.

SEGA of Japan have announced that Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone (the PS4 version of Project DIVA Arcade Future Tone) will be getting its first DLC pack on September 15, 2016. The “1st Additional Music Pack” will cost 1,500 yen (excluding tax), and contains the following items:

Famitsu has revealed more information regarding Yakuza 6, and it includes some interesting information regarding the activities that you’ll be able to experience in the game’s “Play Spots”. Thanks to the translation from Gematsu, we’ve now learned that both Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown and Puyo Puyo will be playable, and they’ll both feature a two-player mode. This also means that SEGA have in fact ported Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown to PS4, so it’s reasonable to think SEGA might end up releasing the game separately as well (and who knows, perhaps this also paves the way for a PC version). In addition, the arcade classics Outrun, Super Hang-On, Space Harrier, Fantasy Zone will also be playable.
The next Tokyo Game Show will be taking place from September 15 to 18, and in preparation of the event SEGA have launched a new website detailing their lineup of games. At the moment, the websites lists Yakuza 6, Valkyria; Azure Revolution, Puyo Puyo Chronicle and Persona 5, all of which will be playable at the event.
The King of Fighters XIV released worldwide last week. While it might have seemed that the stream of promotional videos would screech to a halt, there’s one more video (and perhaps others in the future?) left to see.
This is something to be avoided if you are particularly invested in experiencing the mythology of fighting games independently of any spoilers.

SEGA of Japan has issued a new press release containing more information on the “1st stage” of their upcoming VR game, Hatsune Miku: VR Future Live. Below you can find a translated version of the information in the press release (via 4Gamer). The game has already been confirmed for the Americas and Europe, releasing just one day after the official launch of the PlayStation VR headset, on October 14.
The latest Japanese videogame sales results from Media Create have been released, and they paint a rather bleak picture for the first week of sales for Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X HD. The game entered the charts at number 8, with a total of 12.915 copies sold. While it was to be expected that the PS4 version wouldn’t do better than the PS Vita version, these sales are still worse than expected. For reference, the PS Vita version sold 69,438 copies in its first week, which in itself was already a low number for a series once capable of selling over 200,000 copies in its first week.
A new update to the Shenmue III official website contains a web video diary, titled “Development Report Vol. 01”, offering a behind-the-scenes look at developing a QTE and an accompanying event scene, which involves Ryo Hazuki evading a rockslide. While the text update is short, it does treat viewers to another two minutes of the development process, and it suggests that the development team hopes to provide monthly updates on the Shenmue III project in the future.
