'Persona 4: Dancing All Night' (PSV) Gets Dated, Introduces Teddie And Kanami - Screens & Trailer

Funky Student isn't funky enough to bust a move with Rise and the rest of the Persona 4 crew in Persona 4: Dancing All Night.

Persona 4: Dancing All Night is a story-driven music game that takes place after the events in Persona 4. Players get pulled onto the Midnight Stage when the spotlight turns to mega-idol Rise and her junior group, Kanamin Kitchen. Members of Kanamin Kitchen have disappeared and it's up to the Investigation team to mount a rescue mission - only they discover the same monstrous Shadows from the Midnight Channel. To make matters even worse, their Persona abilities are rendered ineffective, and The Shadows in P4D can only be defeated by dance, so bust out powerful dance moves to save the day!

The summer following the events in Persona 4 sees Rise return to Inaba after spending the summer back in her old life as an idol. After hearing rumors about the Midnight Stage, she checks a certain website at midnight and sees a mysterious movie clip and, you guessed it, winds up on the "other side." Worse yet, she finds out her junior idol peers from the group Kanamin Kitchen are missing as well. She has no choice but to send an SOS to the Investigation Team to help rescue the missing idols.

Not even Riddle-senpai could have seen this twist coming: Normal battle tactics don't work against the Shadows on the Midnight Stage, but dancing does! Rise, the Protagonist, and the rest of the Investigation Team will have to dance their way to victory. 30 pulse-thumping tracks make up the new Persona Sound in this rhythm-based action game.

Kanami Mashita is the leader of Kanamin Kitchen and ready to get down in P4D! But just like Rise before her, you may start to get the impression that just because you're a super popular idol, doesn't mean life is any easier. Kanami is a brand new character (ok, she was mentioned in Persona 4, but never shown), but she's an important part of the game's story mode! Oh, and if you're wondering why she calls herself a prize cow with marbled meat, Kanamin Kitchen's Idol gimmick is that they all represent types of meat. But you'll find out more about that in Story Mode! 

You can rest assured that no matter how grizzly the situation or what dangers may come to bear, when there's idols in need of rescue, Teddie will be there! The Midnight Channel denizen makes his way to the big city to perform with Rise, Yu, and the rest of the Investigation Team but not before getting swept up in the bear-ou-ha-ha when Kanamin Kitchen disappears. 

The Persona 4: Dancing All Night Launch Edition will retail for $49.99/CA$59.99, while the Disco Fever Edition will be $79.99/CA$99.99.
