I might not be a big fan of their Persona series, but I sure as hell love their press emails.
So… Persona 4 Arena… how does it work?
Persona 4 Arena is a 2D anime-style fighting spin-off of our hit Persona RPG universe. Beloved Persona 3 and 4 characters–Chie, Yosuke, Aigis, Teddie, and so on–will square off in the Midnight Arena as they try to figure out who pulled them into the TV world and why. Developed in collaboration with Arc System Works, it is as well made and beautifully designed as fans of both developers’ games would expect. Players can expect a number of new modes and added content for the console release of the game.
IS YOUR HEART RATE ELEVATED AFTER READING THAT?
If so, you should probably close your eyes and breathe deeply a few times. Think about something calming, like puppies. Or the ocean. Or permanently losing your D3 character in Hardcore mode.
Persona 4: Arena releases on the PS3 and Xbox 360 on August 7th
