We’ve rounded up the interesting comments from the piece below. You can find The Guardian’s original article here.
Persona Q2 was announced for 3DS last August. Since then, we’ve yet to see or hear anything else pertaining to the game.
What’s odd is that, on the series’ Japanese website, 3DS is no longer listed as a confirmed platform. It’s unclear what that means currently. Is Persona Q2 still planned for 3DS, or has it shifted to a different system such as Switch?
Arc System Works has more plans for Switch when it comes to the fighting genre. On one of its Japanese Twitter accounts, the company says more fighting titles will be released on the console in the future.
Yesterday, Arc System Works announced that Guilty Gear XX: Accent Core Plus R is coming to Switch. BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle also launches in June.

Joining it will net you some shiny rewards!
