Charizard, Garbodor, Copperajah, and Duraludon were featured in the last round of events. They were in the rotation for about a month.

Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers

Koei Tecmo has released their report for the fiscal year of 2019, which ended in March 2020. Alongside the report have come updates on sales for titles released between April 2019 and March 2020, as well as updates on the company’s future plans, including a brief mention of the worldwide release of Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers, a title made in collaboration with Atlus.

Twitter user @bk2128 has highlighted most of the fiscal report, which is currently only available in Japanese, however at the end of the report it mentions that a worldwide release for Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers is still being planned and will likely be part of the company’s 2020 fiscal year.

Previously a trademark filed by Atlus featured a logo reading ‘Persona 5 Strikers’, which lead many to believe that this would be the English title for the game, however the game has not yet been mentioned by Atlus USA outside of a survey released alongside Persona 5 Royal asking players if they would be interested in an English release.

Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers released in Japan on February 20th, 2020.

Deadly Premonition 2

Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise was unveiled during a Nintendo Direct last September. Since then, there hasn’t been much in the way of official news. But based on a tweet from director Hidetaka Suehiro, we could finally be hearing something soon.

Suehiro, known more commonly as Swery, said in a tweet yesterday that something’s happening next week with Deadly Premonition 2. He also said that development on The Good Life – another one of his projects – is “going well”.
