Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight

Overview

Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight are 2018 rhythm games by Atlus for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita. Forming part of the Persona series: itself part of the larger Megami Tensei franchise: the games respectively feature the central casts of the 2006 role-playing video game Persona 3 and the 2016 role-playing video game Persona 5. Gameplay focuses on characters from Persona 3 or Persona 5 taking part in rhythm-based gameplay set to original and remixed music from Persona 3 or Persona 5.

Development began in 2015 following the release and positive reception of Persona 4: Dancing All Night. Multiple staff returned from Dancing All Night, including character designer Shigenori Soejima and composer Ryota Kozuka. Dancing in Moonlight and Dancing in Starlight were simultaneously developed and planned as follow-ups to Dancing All Night. Dancing in Moonlight and Dancing in Starlight received mixed reviews from critics; the games' graphics and customizable features were praised, while their rhythm gameplay and lack of content were frequently criticized.
