Persona 4 Arena, the sequel to the award-winning Persona 4 role playing game, will be making its way to Europe on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on May 10th, Atlus has today confirmed.

Persona 4 Arena tells the story that follows on from the critically acclaimed Persona 4 Golden, and is itself the winner of numerous awards, including Fighting Game of the Year 2012. Persona 4 Arena is a collaborative effort between two genre masters – Arc System Works and Atlus, bringing together their individual expertise in stunning, high definition 2D artwork and exemplary storytelling.
