He has that hair going for him, but that’s it
Atlus continues its run of constant character trailers today with the reveal that Goro Akechi will be making his presence known in upcoming Nintendo 3DS sequel Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth.
Super-genius super-detective Akechi is a handsome young lad who turns up in Persona 5 to make everyone’s lives a misery. Armed with a posh briefcase and an intolerably smug chuckle. Akechi spends the whole game whining about how The Phantom Thieves are the cool kids whilst he’s just a government narc who wears gloves indoors.
In this trailer, Akechi teams up with Persona 4’s own junior detective Naoto, despite not being worthy to shine her shoes. Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth launches on Nintendo 3DS in Japan on November 29; hopefully we won’t have to wait too long to hear news of a western localization.
