Fast forward to 2022, it now has a release date right around the corner at the end of this month. I got to check out a hands-on demo here at Anime Expo 2022 this week and I can now say I am officially excited.

Persona 25th Anniversary Special Events at Anime Expo and Worldwide
Written by Brian Lee
This year is the 25th Anniversary of Atlus' Persona franchise. Like a lot of people, I really got into Persona with Persona 3. And, like a lot of people, I then fell down the Shin Megami Tensei hole. Devil Survivor, Devil Summoner, SMT Nocturne, you name it, I played it. Didn't finish all of them, but it was a fun ride. A lot of people only know Persona 3, 4, and 5, but that's entirely okay. There's enough to go around for everyone.
Atlus has a lot of things planned for the 25th Anniversary in both America and Japan. Naturally, they are bringing out some goodies for the biggest anime convention in North America, Anime Expo.
It's been quite some time since fans have last seen any news on Kingdom Hearts. During their 20th Anniversary event, the newest entry in the franchise was announced titled Kingdom Hearts IV.
During Labor Day weekend, I had the pleasure of attending PAX West in person since it had been shut down in 2020 due to the ongoing spread of Covid-19. Obviously, the one main concern with returning to a convention in 2021, was safety, and with the Delta variant in full swing and me and my colleague were a bit hesitant to attend.
Arknights: Endfield Announced - Arknights Action RPG?
Written by Ken Dubois
Hypergryph, the studio behind Arknights, has just revealed to the world the next chapter of Arknights. It's official name is "Endfield."
Amano is a name that I think everyone knows from his work on Final Fantasy, Vampire Hunter D, and many others. He's compiled quite the collection over the past five decades. Now, in a bit of digital wizardry, we get a virtual museum dedicated to his works. Artists painstakingly convert his 2D art into 3D. This takes a bit more work than you might expect as going from 2D to 3D requires having to model for depth and create the sides of those previously unseen things. Art will be converted in reliefs, 3D murals, sculptures, and more. Having work be in 3D allows for animation and motion to give that extra bit of life to Amano's work.
