Persona 4 Arena Ultimax Game Trailer Previews New Systems

Play as shadow versions of Persona 4 characters in game shipping on September 30

Atlus USA released a trailer from its upcoming 2D fighting game Persona 4 Arena Ultimax featuring new gameplay systems and new attacks on Monday. The trailer also shows that players can choose to play as shadow versions of the Persona 4 characters.

Atlus USA also released English character trailers for Adachi, Marie, and Aigis on Monday. Atlus' Japan branch previously streamed Japanese versions of these character trailers. Atlus USA also previewed Marie and Adachi in English in a DLC trailer.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, the PlayStation 3 port of an arcade game, shipped in Japan on August 28 as Persona 4 The Ultimax Ultrasuplex Hold and Atlus will ship the game in North America on September 30 for PS3 and Xbox 360. First copies will come with a code to download an extra scenario set for the game. Tōru Adachi and Marie from Persona 4 will appear as playable DLC characters.

The story takes place only a few days after the events of Persona 4 Arena, when the town of Inaba is clouded in a shroud of red fog in which time is warped and people disappear. Inaba has almost become like the world inside the television. To add to it all, the members of the Persona 4 team find Mitsuru and Akihiko being crucified on the Midnight Channel. In front of the Inaba students appear Yukari and Junpei, members of the Shadow Worker unit who have come to the rural town in order to save their upperclassmen.

Atlus released the first Persona 4 Arena (Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena) game for Japan in 2012 on the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles, and Atlus USA released the game in North America less than two weeks later.
