Persona 4 Arena Ultimax coming to North America this fall for $60

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax will release in North America on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 this fall for $60, publisher and developer Atlus has announced.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is the sequel to Persona 4 Arena, which is itself a 2D fighting game sequel to the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 role-playing game. It features a new story mode that continues the plot of the original game, adds new fighting modes, and also includes Persona 3 characters like Junpei lori and Yukari Takeba. New to the series is the "mysterious, scarred, red-headed Sho Minazuki," Atlus teased back in February.

You can find which retailers you can preorder Persona 4 Arena Ultimax from on the game’s official site. Preorders will come with “bonus items,” which Atlus hinted we’ll learn more about at E3.

Atlus is also currently working on Persona 5, which will launch in North America sometime in 2015 for the PlayStation 3.
