This week’s issue of Weekly Famitsu magazine #1552 includes a 4-page feature on Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth, scans of which have been released.

The latest PQ2 feature includes information on persona fusion, growth, and the Velvet Room inhabitants who help the main characters.

As with the previous persona games, it is possible to combine personas with each other to form a stronger persona. Skills from the material personas can be transferred over to the new one.

Personas can also be strengthened over time, where the higher level a character is, the more the persona will grow. There are “blank cards” that can be obtained, which will inherit skills from personas as they grow.

Using the StreetPass functionality, information from registered personas can be shared with other players, along with a personalized message.

Weapons, armor, and various items to help in exploring the dungeons can be purchased at Theodore’s shop. Popcorn is also sold there, like at a regular movie theater, and there are circumstances regarding why Theodore’s outfit has changed.

In this game there’s a new mechanic called “Special Screening” that provides a fun element to the main story. By using mysterious tickets the main characters find in the labyrinth—whose structure changes with the progression of the main story—different rewards can be obtained. A variety of stories are shown through these special screenings, deepening the connection between the persona users drawn to the movie world.

When characters have a deep connection, they are able to collaborate in battle and use “cooperation skills”, which are powerful, one-of-a-kind abilities that have flashy scenes.

This issue of Weekly Famitsu magazine for September 13, 2018—or issue #1552—was released in Japan on August 30, 2018.

This information is alongside the newest PV2 trailer for the game.

Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth has been announced for a Nintendo 3DS release in Japan on November 29, 2018.
