Atlus have posted two trailers for the English version of Persona 4: Dancing All Night featuring Kanami and Teddie. While these are the same trailers used for the Japanese character introduction videos, they’re now voiced by the English voice actors. At the same time, Atlus also announced that the game will be released on September 29 in North America. The standard edition will retail for $49.99, while the Disco Fever Edition will cost $79.99. You can watch the two new trailers below.
Atlus have revealed new DLC for Persona 4: Dancing All Night featuring Crypton Future Media’s virtual idol, Hatsune Miku. Given how Sega has been making their own rhythm games featuring Miku, it’s not a big surprise to see her featured as DLC for Dancing All Night now that Atlus is owned by Sega-Sammy. The DLC is scheduled to be released mid-August, and will feature the song “Heaven feat.Hatsune Miku (ATOLS Remix)”. As the name suggests, this is likely a remix of the “Heaven” song from Persona 4. You can find concept art and some in-game screenshots of Hatsune Miku in Persona 4 Dancing All Night below.
AtlusUSA has begun a wave of character video promotion for Persona 4: Dancing All Night, ahead of its release this year in Western territories and Australia. The format for the videos is actually the same as the Japanese trailers previously posted, with a variety of lines that offer a surface glimpse into the character, down to the video closing with the game’s title.
This round features Rise Kujikawa and Yu Narukami. Viewers will be able to check out new voice acting for some of the characters through these videos too, as not all voice actors reprise their roles from Persona 4: Golden or Persona 4: Arena Ultimax. Namely, Rise has a new voice actor for this game.
Interestingly, the release date noted for the trailers is 2015. It’s a statement that does accommodate all of the regions with an impending release, if anything.
Check out the trailers below, along with AtlusUSA’s accompanying character descriptions!
NIS America has confirmed that it will be releasing Persona 4: Dancing All Night for the PlayStation Vita in Europe this Fall. Aside from a regular physical and digital version of the game, they’ll also be releasing the “Disco Fever” EU Edition. While this edition appears to be similar to its US counterpart, not all of the items in the US version are listed in the press release from NIS America. The Teddie keychain is also listed, despite being initially noted as a “North America” exclusive. However, the DLC isn’t listed at the moment. Let’s hope we won’t see a repeat of what happened with Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, where free preorder DLC for the US and Japan versions weren’t free for the EU.
In a surprise announcement, Atlus revealed the presence of Marie and Adachi (this guy is kept on a short leash!) in Persona 4: Dancing All Night as purchasable DLC characters. The two characters will only be usable in the game’s Free Mode and will be releasing at separate dates: Marie on July 30th, and Adachi on August 6th.
Check out the short announcement trailers after the break! Persona 4: Dancing All Night is due for a Japanese release on the 25th of June. Keep in mind, it’s early in the morning of the 24th in Japan, as of this article’s publishing. If you’re a Persona fan, there are certainly reasons to be anticipating the game’s full release…
Atlus has released a new E3 trailer for Persona 4: Dancing All Night. We’ve seen this video before, but this time around it has English voice acting. In regards to the English cast, Persona Central reports that Laura Bailey, the regular voice actress for Rise, unfortunately couldn’t reprise her role due to scheduling conflicts.
You can watch the trailer below. Persona 4: Dancing All Night is scheduled for a release in Japan on June 25, 2015 and in North America this fall.
While she’s not one of the main characters or part of Yu’s Investigation Team, Margaret is still a key character in the various games based on Persona 4. In Persona 4, we learn that Margaret is Igor’s new assistant, a role previously assigned to her sister, Elizabeth. Igor is the proprietor of the Velvet Room, a place transcending dream and reality, and has been featured in every main Persona game.
In Persona 4, Margaret guides the player on their quest and helps them maintain their Persona Compendium (which contains every Persona the player has collected). Throughout the game, we learn that she’s a soft-spoken, calm and collected individual with a professional attitude. It takes some effort on the part of the player to get to know Elizabeth, but after completing all the tasks she assigned to you, she eventually does show a less stoic side and a sense of humor not dissimilar from that of her sister Elizabeth.
In Persona 4: Dancing All Night, Margaret is only playable in the game’s Free Dance mode, and only after certain conditions are met. As with all the characters featured in the Persona 4: Dancing All Night trailers, her dancing style reflects her personality. Margaret’s dancing moves are fast, precise and almost robotic at times, Interestingly, Margaret is only shown wearing her standard blue outfit that’s standard for servants of Igor, but the video does feature Yu Narukami wearing the male version of the Velvet Room outfit. The music in the video set to a remix of the classic Velvet Room theme. You can watch the new trailer below.
Persona 4: Dancing All Night will be released in Japan on June 25, 2015, exclusively on the PlayStation Vita. The release in North America is scheduled for fall 2015.
It is time again for a new character trailer for Persona 4: Dancing All Night, introducing the “mascot”-esque Midnight Channel dweller, Teddie. He spent a majority of his time wearing a cartoon bear costume as he fought alongside Yu and the investigative team in the series. During the events of the original game he became overwhelmed by his insecurity centering around his identity, as well as his inability to remember anything about who he really is. Eventually he got his answers, after which he started using his human form when not in battle.
In Dancing All Night, Teddie’s costume is now in a disco motif. Meanwhile, he puts on a cape and crown for his human form. He dances surprisingly well for somebody in a bear suit, but he’s even more graceful outside of one. Human Teddie dances in a jovial mood and puts on a beary good show. As seen in the trailer, Teddie has a wide array of outfits you can use. Bear Teddie can dress up as a reindeer, his General “M.Bison” style suit from Persona 4 Arena and a happi (festival outfit). Human Teddie can dress in his famous “Alice” crossdressing outfit.

Atlus announced new details on Persona 4: Dancing All Night release’s in North America. First, the release window: fall 2015. As we enter summer of this year, it’s nice to see that the release won’t be too far away. For reference, the Japanese release date is June 25.
Atlus also announced that two editions of the game will be available for purchase – the standard edition ($49.99 US, $59.99 Canadian) and the “Disco Fever Edition” ($79.99 US, $99.99 Canadian.) To start, those who preorder either edition of the game will receive the “Cover Band” – an assortment of Vita decorations including a form-fitting skin (designed for second generation PlayStation Vita consoles) and ten decal covers meant to match the outer decal of the Vita.
The haul from the Disco Fever Edition is shown above, with the Cover Band items shown in the bottom left. The set features 14 DLC costumes, including the Persona 3 Gekkoukan High uniform set and the summer break set. This media is all being offered through codes, and there will also be an extra code for another song to be played in-game: “Never More”. The Disco Fever Edition also includes a golden-colored keychain imprinted with Teddie’s likeness on it. Also featuring Teddie is the Persona 4: Dancing All Night Vita Pouch, shown on the right. Lastly, the package will feature 2 CD’s that include the game’s OST. Atlus makes a point to note that the OST will feature direct reproductions of classic songs, remixes of songs, special arrangements, and completely new songs made for Persona 4: Dancing All Night. If you haven’t already done so or need a refresher on the setlist, check out this article.
Atlus USA also uploaded a song trailer for the game’s opening theme, which you can check out after the break. The entirety of the song is featured.
Not long ago, Atlus announced DLC plans including songs and costumes for Persona 4: Dancing All Night. Some of those costumes, specifically the men’s crossdressing outfits, can be seen in the preview trailer visible after the break. It shows off Yu’s “Sukeban Style” costume, Yosuke’s “High School Girl Look” costume, and Kanji’s “Sexy Dress” costume. That silhouette at the end is meant to tease Kanji’s seaweed outfit. Pretty hardcore!
We’ll very likely end up seeing more song and costume DLC once this game is released, so keep an eye out. The game comes out in Japan on June 25th, with an unspecified 2015 release date for North America.
