Atlus has announced that a remake of Catherine will be released for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, called Catherine: Full Body.

Developed by Studio Zero, a live stream for the game will take place on December 22, 2017 at 7:30 JST.

UPDATE:

  • Development is a collaborative effort between Atlus and Studio Zero.
  • [There is a new] third "Catherine" named Rin (voiced by Aya Hirano). She is a pianist at Vincent's regular bar, and has an exceedingly honest and gentle personality. Rin's involvement in the story will introduce new branches for the other two "Catherines."
  • A large amount of new endings, episodes, anime movies, and sexy events are being added.
  • The subtitle "Full Body" was chosen from the wine term, and exemplifies an even richer and somehow more erotic new Catherine.
  • There is cross-save support.
  • The new "Catherine," Rin, is described as a healing existence that assists the nightmare-ridden Vincent and shows him new values. While her speech and conduct give off an aura of considerably lacking in common, she is a very straightforward and gentle character.
  • The scenario is mainly being made by full-time staff.
  • The wide range of difficulties and convenient systems being prepared will enable people who are interested in the story to enjoy the game until the very end.
  • In puzzle action stages, there is a new mechanic where you have to think about not only how to move cube-shaped blocks, but also blocks in a state where multiple are connected.
  • You can switch between new and traditional modes during the story.
  • There was unexpected excitement for the competive mode overseas, so online battles are being included.
  • There is more than one new ending.
  • Development is currently 50 percent complete.
  • A release date and price are still to be announced.

MY THOUGHTS/SPECULATION:
It's possible that if/when the game is announced for the West, it will be releasing on more platforms such as Xbox One. It's fairly common for a game to be announced for PS4/Vita in Japan and then an XB1 version is announced along with the localization. The Vita version will probably be localized given Atlus' track record of continually releasing games on Vita in the West, but it won't surprise me if it's digital only. If Troy Baker is unable to return for English voice work, they'll probably try to get Matt Mercer.

Pretty much everyone predicted this LOL. I never picked up the last one, but, as a new fan of Persona, I'll pick it up.

One of the most deserving 7th gen games to get a "remaster". Can't wait to pick it up.

Where is PC?!!! Man we are so lucky Catherine has emulation.

-edit-


To clarify my position, I am staunch supporter of emulation. No forum will ever change that as I believe the potential of our technology is amazing and limitless and nobody should ever feel pressured to not use it. I own a copy of Catherine and I do not advocate emulation for anything you don't own yourself obviously. The fact that my post could even be relooked at makes this place 1000% better than GAF.

However I spoke before knowing this is an enhanced port in which of course it is justified. I'm excited for the new content so I have no problems picking this up on PS4.

PS4 was obvious. Vita is certainly shocking. I'll take it for my favorite little handheld. Vita is life.

I wonder if it's cross buy.
Either way, the first one is fantastic.

Nice, wonder if it's cross buy. What are the chances this will be localised for the west?
