Atlus announced Catherine: Full Body for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita. It is being developed by Studio Zero, the studio led by Persona 5 director Katsura Hashino.

Catherine is an action-puzzle game released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2011. It tells the story of Vincent, a 32-year-old man who cheats on his fiancée Katherine with a woman named Catherine and desperately tries to survive while suffering nightmares caused by his actions. Catherine: Full Body will introduce a "third Catherine" whose personality and aura appear very different from those of the previous two, along with new scenes featuring Katherine and Catherine.

The December 21 issue of Weekly Famitsu will carry the first exclusive report on Catherine: Full Body, including a profile of the third Catherine, an interview with the developers, and a cover illustrated by character designer Shigenori Soejima. Famitsu.com has already shared two screenshots from the game, the first showing the third Catherine and the second a new scene featuring the original Catherine.

Atlus will also host a Niconico livestream on December 22 at 7:30 p.m. Japan time titled "From a Traditional RPG to Full Body! Studio Zero 2017 Broadcast." The broadcast will feature "deep discussion and daring conversations" in a Japanese tavern, as well as the world premiere of the Catherine: Full Body trailer. The schedule is as follows:

  • 7:30 p.m. (Japan time) – Live drawing with Shigenori Soejima from the Atlus art team
  • 8:00 p.m. – Main program begins

Confirmed appearances on the program include Kouji Watanabe (writer) and Chiaki Matsuzawa (announcer), with guests Katsuhiko Hayashi (Weekly Famitsu editor in chief), Shinichi Taira (Denfaminico Gamer editor in chief), Mafia Kajita (freelance writer), and Tomokazu Sugita (voice actor), as well as other guests appearing through video.

Atlus is also asking viewers to submit their "incidents that felt like nightmares" on Twitter with the hashtag "#悪夢のような出来事" to celebrate the announcement of Catherine: Full Body.

In addition to Catherine: Full Body, Studio Zero is also working on a fantasy RPG, referenced in the title of the December 22 livestream, with the codename Project Re Fantasy.
