Long as we’re talking Persona, Famitsu revealed more about Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, specifically how it uses StreetPass. Players who register with a special notebook can add other players’ Personas to their compendium through StreetPass; QR codes can also be posted online for the same purpose.
Furthermore, players can now upgrade their Personas through Sacrificial Fusion. As opposed to fusing multiple Personas together, this process sacrifices one to strengthen the other. The exact benefits have not yet been clarified, though reportedly the upgraded Persona will take on the abilities of the one being sacrificed.
Persona Q comes out on June 5 in Japan, and this fall in North America.
