Since Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness was first announced back in July, 5pb has recently announced their launch date for Android this coming August 18th. Instead of the usual cost of 4,800 yen, the game will be having a special discounted price of 2,000 yen from 18th August till 27th August!
Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness was first launched for the Xbox One in Japan back in May 2015 and then later for the PS3, PS4 and PS Vita in March 2016. While NIS America successfully localized the PS4 and Vita versions in September 2016, they have also released the PC version on Steam in April this year.
Below is a description and lore for the title:
In the new future, everyone’s mental state and disposition can now be quantified.
Everything from emotional tendencies to criminal behavior are recorded and utilized as a guideline to lead everyone to the good life: not only pursuing happiness, but attaining it. Needless to say, the public was excited to begin quantifying their everyday lives. The general term for this value, which determines the morality of an individual’s heart and soul, is commonly known as the Psycho-Pass.
One component of this value is the Crime Coefficient, which is ultimately a number that represents an individual’s potential to commit crime. In order to combat those who attempt to disrupt the status quo, detectives work in tandem to maintain peace and order, composed of Enforcers and Inspectors. The former is tasked with apprehending suspects, while the latter oversees and commands their subordinate colleagues. After all, Enforcers possess high Crime Coefficients. However, because of their criminal nature, they can better understand what makes other criminals tick, allowing them to sniff out suspects and arrest the true perpetrators. But because of their criminal background, Inspectors are needed to provide a calm and sound judgement to each case. Ultimately, all members of the MWPSB have to walk a fine line, maintaining their own mental health while facing the worst that society has to offer.
With justice in their hearts, the detectives of Division 1 tackle each case, confronting humanity’s ugly truths.
But, what lies ahead?
