Persona Q is Part of the Overall Storyline Canon

The 3DS entry for Persona will be part of the overall storyline, Atlus USA confirmed at E3 last week.

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth was shown off to selected members of the press at E3 this month, with publisher Atlus highlighting the first-person battle system that draws heavily from the Persona-styled combat.

Within the session, a representative for Atlus confirmed that the events of the upcoming 3DS game are part of the overall series canon, ensuring that the portable release isn't a spin-off game after-all. The reasons why, naturally, couldn't be shared due to potential spoilers.

Players pick a roster from Persona 3 or Persona 4, with the full set of characters becoming available after completing the first dungeon.
