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.
