Why is there no UK release data for this game announced? Has it not been licensed for UK/Europe? If so that really sucks, i was looking forward to having something to play on my PSP. Any chance i could get it on the download store? or if anyone knows anything about this could they post some info? Thanks

Atlus does not have a European publishing subsidiary.  Most Atlus games released in Europe are released through other companies, as Koei did for Persona 3 and Square Enix did for Persona 4.

Atlus hardly brings anything out here, but you can import the US version and it will play fine (PSP games are region free).  
It was the same for Devil Survivor, Knights in the Nightmare and others too. 

I'll actually replace my PSP screen so I can ...."Get a hold of" this.
 
And Symphony of the Night...

Uh, what?  You're thinking of DS games. "

Ah thanks Webby, i'd completely forgotten that PSP games were region free. Shows you how much i use it. Kinda sucks that altus doesn't publish many games here though. Hopefully that will change with Persona 5. If it's being released of course... :D

Persona 5 will definitly be released here, Persona 3 was a success for them, as was FES and if anything 4 was even more so (my local store sold all of there rather small stock of it within the first few hours of it arriving which has to say something about Europes love of all things Atlus. Even if the PSP one doesn't make it over here, they would be a damn fool to not release it over the PSN.
 
Don't worry... you'll get you some Persona PSP time :P

Oh god, the very idea of HD trophy supported Persona makes me so happy lol

It will probably come out, but they'll have to find a publisher first. And if it doesn't, or if it takes a long time to make the come over here, you can just import.

Considering that Persona 4 was the best selling Shin Megami Tensei game of all time, I can't imagine they'll have too much trouble finding a UK/European publisher for P5.

No announcement, no publisher. That should change though.

" @Kyle: We're not talking about P5, though.  This is about the PSP remake of the first game. "

Yeah you can import it, but I've seen that EU RPG releases get tons of extras. I bet when it gets released on the EU PSN, it'll even have some extra XMB themes and/or MP3s to along with it.

I can buy it through the PSN store. But I'd like to have the physical copy. So far no EU release. Too bad. I hope it'll still happen as Persona 3 Portable did release over here.
