During a Christmas Eve event, Atlus announced that Persona 5: The Animation will begin airing in Japan in April 2018.

Atlus confirmed that the original Japanese voice cast will return to voice their characters in the anime. An official site for the Persona 5 anime also launched today, including our first look at the official key art featuring the main character in Shibuya.

‘Tis the season, and in the spirit of the holidays we’re celebrating the Pokemon that best represent winter festivities. Whether they just match the expected cold weather or look like the perfect centerpiece, here are the eleven most festive Pokemon.

What other wonders await? We’ll have to keep watching to find out.

Overwatch is currently in the midst of its yearly Winter Wonderland holiday event, which includes an assortment of new, Legendary skins and cosmetics (which you can check out here) as well as the limited-time Yeti Hunt mode.
