As a follow-up sequel to the 2014 entry by the name of Persona Q, fans will once more prepare to take to some of the most challenging dungeons, meet some of the most unforgettable members of the Persona universe, and take on a brand new story in Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth this June.
In a surprise announcement, ATLUS has confirmed that Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth will be launching exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS on June 4, 2019, and will serve as a follow-up title to the 2014 title Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth. In this latest title, iconic members from Persona 3, Persona 4, and even Persona 5 will be joining the cast in the latest title.
In the title, the unique blend of cast members will prepare to face down a mysterious world of film in this latest challenging dungeon crawling title. While still coming down from the height of Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection (not story wise), ATLUS is preparing to set the SEES members, The Investigation Team, and even the Phantom Thieves.
In their adventure, players will encounter other like-minded heroes who will possess the will, the strength, and the courage to take on some of the most unimaginable challenges they may ever face. But now, they have a mysterious girl they will encounter, and a larger question to be asked: How will they escape from this new dungeon of theirs that transcends all of time and space?

I’m looking forward to seeing how they justify bringing the female MC from P3P back, since there’s no way in hell her existence is part of the Persona canon. Maybe Elizabeth will say she’s a character from an alternate universe or something. That always works.
That would be amazing, AK. We’re definitely excited to see the P3P characters coming on board, but we’re also excited to see them innovate the series even further. Personally, I can’t wait. I loved Persona Q and have since started playing it again (I really needed to go back as it were).
