Things weren’t look particularly good for fans of SEGA of Japan and Atlus games at the upcoming Gamescom 2016, as games like Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X, 7th Dragon III Code: VFD, Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse and Persona 5 (!) aren’t included in the lineup of games that SEGA Europe and Deep Silver will be bringing to the event. Gamescom is one of the world’s largest gaming events, held at the Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany. Last year, it had around 345,000 visitors from 96 countries.
Brilliant! Elegant! Glamorous!

It’s a crazier week than normal for The King of Fighters XIV. First – the formal introduction of Team Another World, featuring characters who are new to the King of Fighters franchise. Both Atlus and Deep Silver have provided their own character descriptions for the team. However, Atlus and Deep Silver also made mention of different promotional events of their own for The King of Fighters XIV in their statements…
SEGA has recently published a press statement detailing the events that set up Yakuza 6‘s story, along with a handful of images that may seem familiar if you’ve seen the story trailer. It might seem odd to those of us based in the West, but it’s been almost four years since the Japanese release of Yakuza 5, with Yakuza 6 set to release in December of this year. We’ll include a short summary of the descriptive statement, sourced at this 4Gamer article.
A recent commercial that aired in Japan for Persona 5 focuses on Makoto Niijima, president of the student council and also a member of the Phantom Thieves. An English subtitled version was once again made available by dominationkid w.. You can find both videos below!
Persona 5 will be released on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in Japan on September 15, 2016, while the release for the Americas and Europe is scheduled for Feb. 14, 2017. Deep Silver recently announced the preorder details for Persona 5 in Europe, you can read more about that here.
Along with the launch of the demo today, SEGA has revealed the details for the DLC that is scheduled to be released for Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA X. The DLC will be cross-buy, meaning you only have to buy it once for either the PS4 or PS Vita version. For now, three batches of DLC are planned, the majority of which will be available from day one. Unlike in Japan, it appears the DLC songs Sharing The World and Hand in Hand will not be included for free in the PlayStation 4 version. The Snow Miku 2010-2015 Pack on the other hand will be offered for free for the first month following the release of the game, just like in Japan. And surprisingly, the flight cabinet modules for Hatsune Miku actually made it to the West, and will be available for free!
Overall, the DLC prices are lower than in Japan, similar to how it was for the Project DIVA F games. You can view the entire list of DLC below! While the prices are for the US, SEGA notes that other regions will have comparable prices. Note that the screenshots we included below are from the Japanese version of the game.
