Yesterday, Atlus released new trailers for Persona 4 Arena Ultimax showcasing two returning fighters, Shadow Labrys and Chie Satonaka. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is the recent fighting game from Atlus and Arc System Works.

The game is set shortly after the events of Persona 4 Arena as a fog covers Inaba, the setting of Persona 4, once again. Returning fighters include Yu Narukami (Persona 4), Mitsuru Kirijo (Persona 3), Yukiko Amagi (Persona 4), Akihiko Sanada (Persona 3), and the rest of the cast from the previous game. New fighters for Persona 4 Arena Ultimax include Yukari Takeba (Persona 3), Junpei Iori (Persona 3), and Ken Amada (Persona 3). For the first time in the series, Rise Kujikawa (Persona 4) will be a playable character. Tohru Adachi (Persona 4) will be playable as Downloadable Content.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is set to be released on September 30th for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

My Opinion

I played the story mode of Persona 4 Arena and had some fun with it. They seem to take what needed to be addressed and imply it into the new game. Labrys became a great character once I got to know her, and Chie Satonaka is my favorite in a long list of great characters. I always ended up picking Chie Satonaka when I played Persona 4 Arena. I really don’t like the fact that Adachi is DLC, though. Adachi would have been my first pick to play to see what he has been doing since the end of Persona 4.
