After it was previously rumored, it’s been officially announced that Dragalia Lost is crossing over with Persona 5 Strikers.
As part of the event, Dragalia Lost will feature a new story in which Joker and his friends join forces with the Halidom to solve a strange incident. Graphics and animations are included that look like they came out of Persona 5 Strikers. Players can summon Joker as an adventurer, and once his Dragon Gauge is full, he can call upon Arsène to fight in battle. Another adventurer will join the roster as you complete quests as well.
The Persona 5 Strikers collaboration goes live in Dragalia Lost in late January. View the event’s reveal video below.

Earlier this week, Acquire announced plans to bring Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed to Switch. The game was also given a release date of May 20 in Japan.
Clouded Leopard Entertainment has now followed up for some news in Asia. Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed will be distributed on that same day as well, and English support is confirmed.
XSEED previously announced plans to publish Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed in North America.

While it’s likely, even if it doesn’t happen, we at least know that an English version will be offered on Switch thanks to the upcoming Asian release.
Here’s the full announcement for Akiba’s Trip: Hellbound & Debriefed:
