Persona 4 Arena coming to North America this summer for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

ATLUS have today announced plans to bring Persona 4 Arena, the fighting spinoff of the award-winning Persona series of roleplaying games, to North America this summer for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Developed in partnership with Arc System Works, Persona 4 Arena uses gorgeous, hand-drawn, high definition 2D anime-style fighters and colorful, over-the-top special effects to bring to life characters from the highly popular Persona 3 and Persona 4.

"The Persona series has had tremendous success in North America, and Persona 4 in particular opened the series up to wider audiences than ever before," said Tim Pivnicny.
