If you happen to live in Europe and are a fan of Atlus’ Persona series and a fan of fighting games, you are in luck. Arc Systemworks’ Persona 4 Arena will be released in Europe later this year for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The title was first announced last year as Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka and was being developed by Guilty Gear and Arc Systemworks, the studio behind BlazBlue. Persona 4: Arena’s story picks up right where Persona 4 left off.
Characters from Persona 3 and Persona 4 will be available. So far Yosuke, Chie Teddie and their Personas have been confirmed.
“Persona 4 Arena thrusts players back into the sinister Midnight Channel where students are engaged in deadly battles on a mysterious new programme called the ‘P-1 Grand Prix’. Here, popular characters from Persona 3 and Persona 4 collide against a backdrop of spectacular visual effects while exploring the events that follow the critically-acclaimed RPG, Persona 4.”
