The Internet figured it out last week, but Atlus has just announced a North American release for the Persona fighting game Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena, which they will bring to America as Persona 4: Arena.
Originally available only in Japanese arcades, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Persona 4: Arena are scheduled for a Summer 2012 release with console-exclusive story and online modes. And if you’re worried about Atlus’ lack of experience in the fighting game sphere, don’t be, Persona 4: Arena is being co-developed by Arc System Works (creators of the BlazBlue series).
