We don’t think it’s overselling it to say that Persona’s popularity has exploded since the remaster of Persona 4 hit the Vita back in 2012. Not only was the fifth game critically acclaimed, but 4 spun off into an enjoyable dancing game.
We knew that there were dancing games coming for Persona 3 and 5, but Atlus had remained tight-lipped about whether those two games would be coming west. The developer confirmed today that both games, Persona 3: Dancing In Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight, would be coming west in 2019. The games will be coming to both PS4 and Vita, with a Atlus’ European PR representative Sara Wellock confirming that the Vita version will be digital only:
Some Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight questions answered

🎤 Vita version will be digital only as physical production of Vita cartridges has sadly ended

The announcement arrived alongside two trailers, one for each game.
