A good part of the video stated Kento Tanabe, the Metroid Prime Producer, will be working with Retro Studios who made the original Metroid Prime trilogy. Check out the announcement below.

Feel the HEAT! Yakuza Kiwami is releasing on Steam on February 19th. This continues the trend of SEGA porting their titles to the PC. The port was announced during E3 2018 alongside Yakuza 0 and Valkyria Chronicles 4. Catherine “Classic” (the original released on PS3 and Xbox 360) was released on Steam earlier in January. SEGA usually doesn’t release other titles besides Sonic to PC. These may be signs of the company changing their release methods to consoles and PC rather than consoles exclusively.

Atlus Japan has registered several new websites as reported by Persona Central. They were registered by Ryu Office, a marketing company that has close ties with Atlus. They registered the sites dedicated to Persona 3 Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5 Dancing in Starlight. Below are the following domains.
Most likely they are spin-off titles for the Persona 5 series. Persona 4 had two fighting game spin-offs, a dancing game, two animes, and an updated version for the title which released exclusively on the PlayStation Vita. Rumors believe that Persona 5 or it’s updated version will release on the Nintendo Switch following the announcement of Joker from Persona 5 in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as DLC. I will report on it if it’s confirmed.
There was an announcement for a Persona 5 anime special: Dark Sun. It will expand on the conclusion of the anime that aired in 2018.
