Persona 4 Arena is a collaborative project between two masters of their genres – Atlus’ skill in RPG development, characterisation and storyline and Arc System Works’ trademark visually spectacular fighting experience.

Persona 4 Arena uses gorgeous, hand-drawn, high definition 2D anime-style fighters and colourful, over-the-top special effects to bring to life characters from the acclaimed, highly popular Persona 3 and Persona 4.

Backed up by an original, hardcore fighting engine from one of the most respected 2D fighting game developers in the industry, Persona 4 Arena represents the biggest, most noteworthy expansion of the esteemed series to date.

The much-loved Shin Megami Tensei Persona series has sold over half a million units in Europe – Persona 3 and 4 both have an average Metacritic review score over 90% and were ranked in the Top 5 RPGs of the Decade by RPGFan and RPGamer.

Set two months after Persona 4, Persona 4 Arena is a direct sequel and an adventure in its own right. Each character has their own unique story, dialogue and path to unravel the mystery, told through all-new anime sequences and scenarios written by the Persona team.

The game features 13 characters including Persona 3 favourites and the full Persona 4 cast, with the original voice actors. Each character has their own Persona, a secondary character that can be called in to battle and unleash deadly attacks, with twin health gauges adding a new layer of strategy.

Persona 4 Arena launches a brand new fighting system specifically created to be accessible to all skill levels and designed to be enjoyed by RPG and Fighting fans equally.
